A 19-metre-deep fissure at Coll de la Bòfia (Bagà), with a total length of 33 metres and snow accumulated inside almost all year round.

Characteristics

Location

From Bagà we will follow the B-4024 road towards Coll de Pal. Between kilometres 16 and 17 we will find the Refugi de Coll de Pal on the right; 125 metres before reaching it, we will find a track on the left of the road that leads to the “collada de la Bòfia” and the “els Orris” viewpoint. This track must be taken until reaching the abandoned Baritina mine; the cavity is located in the surroundings of this.

Approximate coordinates of the area where the cavity would be found, without precision.
