From the car park at the Lac des Gloriettes, above Gèdre, the path skirts the lake and follows the stream along an open valley to the Cirque d'Estaubé, the smallest of the three. In summer around 400 cows and 1,200 sheep graze here, and marmots are in plain view. It makes a good afternoon after the Grande Cascade if you are staying in the valley.
