It is not a very large area, elongated and more or less narrow. We have to look at the holes in the floor. If we approach it we will notice that the air coming out is cold. Sometimes you can hear it whistling inside, hence the name blowers. As we progress we will find more holes. Some of them have been reviewed by speleological experts.

However, due to its S and E slopes, it offers a test field for climbers despite the poor quality of the rock.
