The snow well has been restored and recalls one of the secular traditions of the inhabitants of the Alberche valley, when they stored ice in the heights of the mountains to supply the towns in spring and summer. Along with the ethnographic value, the geographical location of the building also stands out, installed in the reception basin on the north slope of the Casillas peak, where an impressive torrent of ice originated that modeled a V-shaped gorge in the Iruelas river, a sample of the most interesting characteristics of the geological values of the nature reserve.
