Aigue Agelle (rivière) - Affluent du Guil walks

Set off to climb the Pic de Caramantran, one of the easiest 3,000-metre peaks in the Queyras Regional Nature Park, and enjoy transalpine views of Italy and the Saint-Véran valley from its summit.

This forest and mountain pasture trail offers a fascinating glimpse of the valley and some of Europe's highest villages, including Saint Véran.

In Queyras, at this time of year (late October), the ubiquitous larch forests colour the mountain landscapes with shades ranging from yellow to red, and the snow-capped peaks further enhance this feeling of fulfilment. The proposed hike takes place in this atmosphere above the highest village in Europe: Saint-Véran.

A border route to tackle the Pic de Caramantran (3,025 m), observe a multitude of 3,000-metre peaks: Mont Viso, Pain de Sucre, Tête des Toillies, and discover three magnificent lakes: Blanchet supérieur, Blanchet inférieur and Blanche.

A pleasant little circular to discover the highest village in Europe. Starting from Pierre Grosse, cross the hamlet of La Chalp. No great difficulty. Magnificent views of the Queyras peaks.

This route in A/R takes you through enchanting surroundings to the beautiful Saint-Véran observatory, where you can then flirt with the 3,000 m mark (2,989 m) by climbing to the Pic de Château Renard for one last effort. Friendly marmots will accompany you along the way, guaranteed to steal your heart.

The Pic de Caramantran is an extraordinary destination! This hike takes you on a circular route that also allows you to discover the Col de Saint-Véran. You may see ibex and numerous marmots along the way.

On the Col Agnel road leading to Italy, there are three hamlets in Molines that are inhabited all year round: Pierre Grosse, Le Coin and Fontgillarde. These hamlets have preserved their traditional architecture (stone, wood, sundials) as well as numerous fountains, mission crosses and the coexistence of temples and churches. In winter, see: Practical information.

There are many high-altitude chapels in Queyras. This one above Molines, located in a large cirque, is particularly worth a visit.

A short circuit from the hamlet of Pierre Grosse through the ski slopes to reach and discover Saint-Véran.
