    Hiking

    Estom lake is nestled at the bottom of the Lutour valley, under good guard, since the peaks of Estom Soubiran (2,829 m) and Labas (2,946 m) dominate the lake on either side of its shores.

    It is a wonderful base for hikers who can picnic there at midday before retracing their steps or continuing higher.

    It is also possible to stop there since a refuge is installed there. For self-guided hikers, camping is allowed around the lake.

    Hiking

    Less frequented than Lake Gaube, also smaller and everyone can judge, but I found it less pretty even if it is clearly worth the trip.
