Introduction

We are at Coll de Pal (PAL'S NECK) and the layout of stone blocks reminds us of the icebergs drifting in a calm sea.
Rocky surfaces and glaciers shaped the relief of the mountain range forming cubes, U-shaped valleys and areas with large accumulations of sediments transported by the ice, which is now in the form of periglacial sediments in the high valley of Ter and in the valley of Núria.
The "comes": coma de Vaca, coma de l'Orri, amongst others are basins resulting from the accumulation of snow and from where the U-shaped valleys begin.
Did you know that Freser's coma, along with Vaca's coma, formed the longest glacier in the area, of more than 7 km of course. Some of these glaciers reached more than 500 m in thickness, and there are geomorphological evidence that we can observe directly in some valleys.
20,000 years ago this activity was at the highest point and 10,000 years ago it was finished.
 
If you find beautiful blue flowers, isolated, bell-shaped, they are blue gencians. They bloom in spring, summer from 800 to 3000 meters in height
