Itinerary description
A point-to-point tour from La Rabassa to Grau Roig, 3 ascents, 3 descents. The only difficulty is the distance and the final descent from the col de Pessons which can be corniced and prone to avalanche. You pass through valleys not often frequented by skiers (shame about the snowmobilers, though) and the scenery is stunning.

As Cathy said, the length makes it difficult. You need to be careful of the entry into Pessons, it's for advanced skiers only - if you're not confident in canals you can enter to Grou to the North of Montmalus, which is easier.
Looks like a superb route, thank you for the suggestion. I am not familiar with the area, but was wondering if one could do it the other way round (shorter ascents, key spots near the start, maybe take the Cubil chair up in the first place)?
You could but the final ‘descent’ from Pic Negre would be boring, and the slide down the Madriu valley is not that interesting either. Done from La Rabassa you get long steady not-steep climbs and shorter but steeper and more fun descents.
