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.

The name of the place is called "Salt de Baoussous"

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.

At 1,373 meters high, the Puig de Bassegoda is located on the border between the regions of La Garrotxa and Alt Empordà. The climb accumulates a lot of positive unevenness in a short distance. For this reason, in the last section it has staples and chains to help itself.
