Then take the path that winds its way up to the foot of the Pisse waterfall to the Alpe du Pin flat, and arrive at the Alpe du Pin refuge. 2. The trail continues unobtrusively behind the refuge, and after a few natural steps continues on the large flat area known as "le Travers des Lacs" (approx. 45 min). 3. At the intersection with the Mariande valley, turn left to descend to Le Clot. 4. At the end of the descent, follow the signs for Plan du lac; you will then follow the Vénéon torrent to the Granges bridge, which you crossed at the start of your hike.
