From the Grau Roig car park we will cross the chairlift departure area and head towards the restaurants. There are already signs there for the Grau Roig ski touring circuits; we will have to follow the circ d'Envalira one, which is marked with posts painted red and white. At the level of the Vodka Bar we will leave the circuit and climb through the forest behind the bar, heading SE. We will reach a flatter area just before the wall, which we will have to cross to get to the circ dels Colells. We can tackle this steeper section from different sides depending on the state of the snow. Once past it, we will reach the circ dels Colells, with a very gentle slope. We will continue straight to the col and from there head towards the pic de la Menera, which will be on our left, along the rib. Before reaching the summit, on the left, we will find the ridge that we will have to follow to the summit. On some sections of this ridge we will need to take off our skis and progress with an ice axe and crampons. To descend, we will retrace the last section of the ridge to the small col and ski down the slope that will leave us at the start of the circ dels Colells.
