Description

Morphology

Pit-doline opened in the Jurassic limestones, at the intersection of several fractures. The entrance has a diameter of 8 m and narrows between vertical walls down to the floor, which is triangular in shape (4 m x 3.5 m) and formed of large blocks, on which snow rests. The depth is 10 m and the origin is chemoclastic.

Progression

A passage between the large blocks at the floor allows a further descent of 4 m.
