Leave the Étang de la Goueille bivouac site and return to the path that leads due east to Port de La Goueille.
(1) Do not go in this direction, but turn right and join the path that heads south on the left and leads to Port de l'Albeille. After a fairly steep climb, the path flattens out in the upper valley and you walk between sparse grass and boulders.
As you pass, admire the two Étangs de l'Albeille lakes, which are below on the left.
Follow the cairns, which are quite numerous in this area, and head for Port de l'Albeille, clearly visible at the bottom of the mountain cirque. Continue southwards on the path, which levels out and joins the Port (2601m).
(2) Begin the descent, which is steep at first, with a series of short hairpin bends in the scree, then becomes gentler at two small ponds on the left. On the right, you will soon see the Estany de Tristagne in its basin. Magnificent...
The path heads south and passes along a balcony above Estany del Mig. Continue until you reach the shores of Estany Primer, very elegant in its small grassy basin.
(3) Turn 180° to the right, walk along the bank and follow the path which heads south-west and then passes a cliff, from where you can see a car park and several buildings, including a restaurant, next to the departure point of the chairlift that you will take. The pastoral site is very beautiful.
Descend to the start of the chairlift, which climbs north-west towards the ridge above Estany de Creussans (E).
