    Hiking

    This iconic grotto, closed to the public for its better conservation, is the frozen cave of limestone origin located at the highest altitude in the world, at 2765 meters. It is located very close to the Rolando gap, and it is one of the last caves in the Pyrenees that still preserves fossil ice inside. Frozen lakes and waterfalls up to 25 meters high have been preserved for thousands of years and characterize this emblematic place.
    Currently, exploration is only allowed for scientific purposes and with prior authorization.
