Itinerary description
A fun tour from the parking on Col de Puymorens. Skin up the Coma d'en Garcia valley, over the portella at the end of the valley. Ski down into the Jasse de Pedros - exactly where you go depends on the snow cover. Skin / bootpack up to the foot of the Grand Canal on Puig Pedros. Climb the canal - it's not very steep, angle will vary with conditions but I did it with boot crampons and ski poles. Would be a good ski down too, but we chose to ski off the back (east side) on great spring snow. Skinned up the west flank of Coma d'Or, just past the summit, skied down to below the Portella de Coma d'en Garcia, booted up to the portella (not much snow) and then skied back down to the car. Very satisfying day out!

Ruta magnifica y muy completa. También se podría hacer eln dirección contraria y bajar la gran canal del Puig Pedrós si las condiciones son buenas. Excelente!!!
