The first references of snow collectors on the Tramuntana peaks date back to the Arabs. The constructions of the snow wells of Coll de Fartáritx and El Tomir are from the 18th century. In the ruins there are remains of the well where the snow was stored during the winter and remains of the walls of the temporary house used by the workers while they kept the ice, until summer came and they sold the precious product to wealthy families to preserve food. and cool drinks.

Snow houses within sight of the top of the Tomir. Here the Nevaters (snow collectors) stored their snow in order to sell it as a coolant in the spring.

Next to it is a large walled pit (10 × 6m, maybe 5m deep) in which the snow collectors collected the snow, and some walls.
