Bear left at the saddle and rise up the broad but steeply sloping grass ridge to gain a domed high point of 2271m. Beyond this descend to a second saddle (2252m) where a grass path cuts back to the right – this is used on the descent to Ventelon. Ignore this alternative for now and continue along the ridge, with Signal de la Grave and its summit cairn seen ahead. The path rises to it without complication, reaching the crown with its impressive panoramic views about 2hrs 45mins from La Grave.

Descend by the same path as far as the second saddle (2252m) met on the ascent, then slant downhill slightly left ahead – now aiming south. It's a grass path which becomes intermittent, but with a few tiny cairns to direct the way. Soon Les Terraces is seen directly ahead, then you suddenly discover Les Clots lying below. After angling across the hillside the way then descends very steeply to join the path linking Les Clots with the saddle at the head of the ski tow. Turn left and at the next junction bear right.
