The ascent starts at the Coma de Vaca refuge at 1,995 m, crosses the Coma de Vaca river and climbs north up the valley. After about an hour, leave the path and follow a grassy crest, then a stony ridge marked by neret shrubs, up to the Coll del Torreneules at 2,561 m. The route gains 700 m and takes about 2 h 20 min to the summit; it is rated high difficulty.
