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.

The Pave Mill is an old grain mill supplied with water from the village canal. The Pave Mill's activity lasted until the end of the 19th century. It was inhabited until 1942 and then fell into disrepair. It became municipal property and was restored in 2006 by the Laroque Heritage Association in collaboration with the municipality. The volunteers of this association installed a roof to strengthen and “waterproof” the building. The miller's workshop (on the ground floor) and his accommodation (on the upper floor) are currently being completely restored. The association is actively looking for a millstone that could help complete the work.

There are many cork oaks in this section of the hike. The cork oak is a tree found mainly in the western Mediterranean and is known for its bark, which is used as cork. The bark is harvested every nine to twelve years, removing the outer layer to reveal the cork. The bark then grows back and can be harvested again. Cork is used in a variety of products including wine stoppers, flooring and insulation materials. The cork oak is a long-lived tree that can live up to 250 years. It can grow up to 20 meters tall and has a broad, spreading crown. The leaves of the cork oak are evergreen and have a leathery texture. The cork oak is a symbol of sustainability and environmental protection, as its harvest and use help preserve forests and promote biodiversity. It is also an important part of the Mediterranean ecosystem, providing habitat for a wide variety of animal and plant species.
