Hiking

This curious construction is one of the attractions of the Camí del Geladors. It is an old well to collect snow that has the peculiarity of being the only one to have a hexagonal plan, unlike the rest in the area that are circular. To get there, follow the path in very good condition with very pleasant views throughout its length.

Hiking

The Pou or Cava del Canyo is a construction that was used for the manufacture and conservation of ice, collecting and pressing the snow from winter snowfalls. It is estimated that it was built at the end of the 18th century which still preserves the Arabic tile roof. It has a capacity of 770 m3, 9.8 m in diameter and 10.3 m in interior height. It is located at an altitude of 1235 meters above sea level.
