Stunning menhir

We completed this route on August 29, 2025, and upon reaching the dolmen, we were unable to continue because the trail was closed. We had to return along the same path we had taken. The return trail was closed because it crossed private property.

This pass was important as a passage between regions, especially in activities such as transhumance or the transport of goods. The snow wells that give the place its name were also key elements in the economy of the mountainous areas. The term "Pou de la Neu" refers to the snow or ice wells that were traditionally used to store snow during the winter. These structures, dug into the ground or built with stones, served to preserve ice that was later transported to the lower areas for use in food, medicine or food preservation.

There is still much for historians to discover here. The area is littered with stones, there is a good chance that many stones in the area were used in memory of the deceased. More research is needed to demonstrate the historical value of this area.

Three fields of menhirs have now been discovered.

Within Alta Garrotxa is the Muga-Albanyà Partial Nature Reserve, which covers an area of approximately 5,000 hectares. This reserve is especially notable for its biodiversity and the presence of very diverse natural habitats, which include oak and holm oak forests, alpine meadows, crystal-clear rivers and unique geological formations. Some of the most notable places within the Muga-Albanyà Partial Nature Reserve include: The town of Albanyà: A small rural town surrounded by unspoilt nature and trails to explore. The Muga River: A river with crystal clear waters that meanders through the reserve, offering opportunities for fishing, hiking and enjoying nature. The Serra de Lliens: A mountain range with impressive panoramic views and hiking trails that allow you to explore the natural beauty of the region. El Puig de Bassegoda: An emblematic mountain that offers incomparable panoramic views of the Alta Garrotxa and the Pyrenees. The Hermitage of Santa Bàrbara: A hermitage located in a spectacular natural enclave, which offers a place of tranquility and contemplation.
