Between the glittering lakes in the sun and the dark 'Gates of Paradise', this traverse takes in an imposing panorama of the Haut Champsaur.

Continue along the path past the Roc des Hommes and through an area of scree. Follow the Lac des Estaris to the right. At the refuge des Estaris, take the path on the right towards the Lacs Jumeaux. After skirting the lake next to the path, head east (left) at its outlet (stream draining water from the lake). Go past Lac des Pisses and continue as far as the Cabane des Pisses.
