Description:
From the mountain hut of Vens (2380 m), go to beacon 25 and follow the signposted pathway to the left. Turn right at beacon 24 and climb up into large zigzags in a hard chalky patch of land with bold architecture till the mountain pass of Tortisse (Collet de Tortisse, 2591 m-beacon 35a)
From there, turn West by a small path on the left to reach the base of the "Aiguilles de Tortisse" (2672 m), forming a panoramic promontory on the lakes of Vens.
The return to the mountain hut (Refuge de Vens) takes place via the reverse route.
