Approach

 
Pallas
 

Time: 3h 30min.
Slope: 900m.

You'll walk in east direction following the HRP (Haute Route of Pyrenees) in the ravine of Arrious with a good path. You'll pass the Cabane d'Arrious and you'll reach the Col d'Arrious (2259m, 2h30min). In the col you'll follow the signal to right side and you'll leave the nice lake of Arrious in left side (south) to cross the nice and spectacular Passage d'Orteig in the north wall of the peak of lake d'Arrious (2495m). The pass is a little stepcrossing of 1 or 2 meters wide equiped with a metallic rope in right side (grade I+) very easy. With snow and ice I think is a very dangerous walk. The view of Lake of Artouste in north side is nice. In winter is advisable the descent with precaution to lake and don't walk the passage (30 minutes more). At the exit of the pass (2370 meters) the view of Pallas and Balaitous is wondefull over the lake of Arremoulit. You'll must to descent now to the refuge d'Arremoulit (2280m, 3h30min).
