The Rebalsadors snowdrift looks so beautiful thanks to the action and cleaning work of the brigade of the Serra Calderona Natural Park.
The Ventisquer de Rebalsadors is an ice house located 785 metres above sea level, at the head of the gully of La Nevera, which drains the northern slope of the western top of the Rebalsadors Mountain. It has a circular floor plant and an approximate capacity of 1,100 m3. It was built in 1706.
This ice house does not have a well and its depth is quite scarce: around 1.50 metres to the south and 3.50 metres to the north. 20 metres in diameter, the main tank did not have a permanent roof, and it had to be fabricated yearly with tree branches, tarps, earth and stones in order to protect the snow.
The ventisquer was strategically located to be close to the Porta Coeli charterhouse and to provide with ice the nearby towns and the city of València. The ventisquer was used until the beginning of the 19th century, when the order was secularized. It is listed as relevant local cultural heritage.
