Duration:07h00 Dénivelé positif en été:690 m Dénivelé négatif en été:690 m Distance en été:9.4 km Difficulty:à traduire (en) Remarks: WARNING: Route without signposts. Requires map and compass, or GPS. Please note that this route includes aerial progression on narrow ridges and passages of scree. Description: From the mountain hut of Rabuons (2523 m), head North to the beacon 105 and take on the right the signposted pathway along the Western bank of the Rabuons lake. Shortly after the rain gauge (2530 m-beacon 106), go up North to pass between Chaffour and Cimon lakes. The route takes a Northwest direction to go North of the lake of Montagnette before coming out at the mountain pass of Rabuons (Pas de Rabuons, 2872 m-beacon 107). From there, follow Southwest the cairns as close to the crest but remaining on the French mountain side. Continue to climb the summit ridge from where, after climbing some rocks, you will reach the summit of mount Tenibre (3031 m), the highest point of the Haute-Tinée offering an exceptional panorama. On the Southern side, go down on rocky and scree slopes, and turn Southwest taking the lake Fer (2541 m) as a landmark. Once you have reached this latter, continue to lose altitude in a thalweg to end at lake Petrus (2340 m). From there, turn left into the large "Chemin de l'Energie" which progresses on the same level. Ignore the pathways on the right to the beacons 110 and 103 and 104. Continue on the pathway that then climbs to the beacon 105 on the shores of lake Rabuons, and turn right to arrive at the mountain hut (Refuge de Rabuons).
