Description: From the mountain hut of Rabuons (2523 m), head North to the beacon 105 and take the marked path on the right along the Western bank of the Rabuons lake. After the rain gauge (2530 m-beacon 106), leave the marking and follow Southeast the cairns that lead into a scree-filled mountain depression. At the confluence of two valleys, keep to the right and then continue South. Climb into the large depression of the Corborant glacier between the head of Chalanchas and the Corborant, till a rock separating the latter into two V-necks. Take the left one to arrive at the Corborant's mountain pass (Pas du Corborant-2925 m). From there, climb a small corridor to the left, then follow a large slanting cornice ending by a small corridor before reaching the summit of Corborant (3007 m), the 2nd summit of Tinée after the Tenibre, which offers an exceptional panorama over the whole region. The return to the mountain of Rabuons hut occurs via the reverse route.
