2. Mercantour - Alpes Maritimes - Around Mont Ténibre - Stage 2

From the refuge, head down along the right-hand shore of the upper Vens lake then pass by the middle and lower lakes on the right. Cross the spillway over a footbridge (2285m - m.26) and climb up the opposite side towards Lac des Babarottes along a path which is scattered with cairns. 

Continue the climb until the wide ridge of Les Babarottes (2506m), then go downhill on the southern side to reach the beginning of the Energy Trail (m.113). 

Continue along this flat walkway to Plan de Ténibre (m.112, 111). Continue by heading slightly uphill, still walking along this magnificent piece of work towards Lac Pétrus (m.110), the Sélasse ridge (m.103), then the EDF houses (m.104), which are perpendicular to the CAF refuge at Lac Rabuons (2523m).
