Location

From Bagà we will take the BV-4024 road that leads to the coll de Pal ski resort. After kilometre 19, we will leave the vehicle in the car park found on the right.

From here we will go up towards the Cap del Serrat Gran, passing under the 110 kV power line. This is the path that leads to the Niu d'Àguila refuge and to the Tosa.

Shortly after passing the colladeta de la Comabella, we easily find the SG-3A and the SG-3B a few metres to the left of the path.

Entrances

Always verify coordinates and access conditions before setting out.

Description

Morphology

The highest entrance is 0.90 by 0.90 metres. To our left we find an impassable passage through which an air current blows.

Progression

We will descend among blocks a drop of 0.85 metres and another of 2 metres. If we go to the right, we overcome an r-1.40, leaving a blind gallery on the right, all among blocks, some with precarious stability. We continue a few metres more to come out through the lower entrance.

History

Discovered and explored on 7-8-2010 by members of the GE Badalona and one from the SIE.
