    Tips

    April 5, 2023

    Located in the foothills of the Pic d'Arriel, the Passage d'Orteig directly connects the Col d'Arrious to the Arrémoulit refuge. This shortcut allows you to avoid going down to Lake Artouste before going back up.

    In dry weather, it includes no difficulty and offers a spectacular view of the lake below. In rainy weather, be vigilant and do not hesitate to use the cable fixed in the wall.

      It is only recommended on signs for experienced hikers, but can also be done easily without the steel cable. Of course, be careful with thunderstorms.

        Avoid handling hiking poles. Breathe.
