Arvieux walks

Easy hike. Little elevation gain, which is very gradual, except for a slightly steep 300m trail at the start and 500m at the end. Mostly in the forest, with superb viewpoints over the Guil Valley, then the Souliers Valley and finally Arvieux. 50/50 forest track and trails.

This is a short, easy circular that starts by following the Canal d'Arvieux and returns via a forest track.

This is a pleasantly varied circular hike thanks to a climb mainly through forest, the lake and its surroundings, the rocky atmosphere of the Casse Déserte and the unusual return route along the bed of the Torrent de l'Izoard. This lake is very popular in July and August because it is easily accessible from the Col d'Izoard road, but this route allows you to enjoy most of the hike in peace and quiet.

A superb circular starting from Brunissard, which takes you to Pic des Esparges Fines after a gradual climb. This is followed by a passage past several lakes, ending at the Chalets de Clapeyto, nestled in a haven of peace. The return via the Col du Cros and the descent into the woods of the same name complete this magnificent walk.

A magnificent snowshoe hike to the Clapeyto chalets.

Long loop to explore the Clapeyto chalets, then climb above to the Terres Blanche ridge where there are several lakes. Return via the Col du Néal and theGR® 5. Well-marked trails. Following the closure of the trail that started from the cross-country ski centre, we will start from the small lake at the entrance to the campsite which is an extra kilometre on the road in summer. This hike can also be done in winter on snowshoes, starting from theGR® 5 between the cross-country ski trails.

This is a particularly pleasant route, starting in the woods and then passing through beautiful mountain pastures, crossing the alpine village of Granges de Furfande and ending at the refuge below the pass of the same name.

There is a pretty little lake at an altitude of 2,500 metres and a beautiful view of the Queyras massif from the Tronchet ridge.

If you want to overlook the famous Casse Déserte, known to all cycling enthusiasts and especially fans of the Tour de France, this is the place to go.

A beautiful, varied route with no difficulty, allowing you to discover several high-altitude lakes in stunning scenery.

Col de Néal and the nearby lake are part of many routes on the site. This very easy double circular path allows you to discover them and enjoy the chalets and mountain pastures that precede these places.

A low-altitude hike offering a 360° panorama of Queyras, Cerces and Briançonnais. This well-ventilated high-altitude route is ideal in hot weather.

Grande boucle entre forêt de mélèzes et crêtes offrant un très beau point de vue sur Queyras, Ubaye, Ecrins, Thabor.

This circuit can be started from many different places. The one described here starts from the hamlet of Lauzet above La Roche-de-Rame. Please note that the 10km access track is in very poor condition and not recommended for low-clearance vehicles.

This pleasant second day begins with a climb to the Col de Moussière before passing by the very pleasant Lac du Lauzet, then taking the long forest track back to the Moussière car park.

Loop to the Ascension lakes starting from Lauzet. The hike passes through the small pass of Peyron, which offers a magnificent view of the two valleys, the three lakes and the entire cirque. The return trip along the forest path is a bit monotonous, but this is more than compensated for by the beauty of the landscapes you encounter.

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

An easy walk through the Swiss pine forest of Bois des Ayes above Villar-Saint-Pancrace.

The start from the hamlet of Lombard offers an alternative to the classic route from the Bergerie du Lombard. A very beautiful route to climb to the summit of Grand Glaiza, the third highest peak in Queyras, via the Malrif lakes. The breathtaking views will more than compensate for the effort required.

Sometimes it is worth splitting the daily walks in two to enjoy an evening in the bivouac. This is the route we have chosen this year, which allows you to marvel at the 360° landscape from the bivouac in the evening and morning.

Access from the alpine hamlet of Moussière to the bivouac area located between the Selle and Crousas mountain pastures. This mountain pasture overlooks the Cabane Sainte-Marie, where the sheep are kept at night.

Discover the Oules waterfall at the bottom of the Blétonnet valley, starting from Laus de Cervières.

A fine walk with two passes and some very beautiful scenery. Swimming available.

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 remarkable circuit in the famous Fonts de Cervières valley, with a magnificent lake at the foot of the Pic de Rochebrune cirque.

You'll take the Aiguillettes path up to the two major passes above Ceillac, then join the Col de Fromage via the Souillet path on the Guil valley side, on a beautiful balcony path. ⚠️Caution: the Aiguillettes path crosses 3 ravines that may pose problems for some. If this is the case, you can take the GR® which starts nearby and ends at the same point. Less interesting but quieter.

A very beautiful, easy walk through old hamlets and magnificent landscapes. The path is always fairly wide and without any significant slopes, making it ideal for snowshoeing.

A superb hike with surprising panoramic views despite the low altitude.

For a multi-faceted walk in the Vallée des Fonts de Cervières:- a wide path along the edge of the Cerveyrette,- an arrival point featuring not teepees, but remarkable chalets,- an impressive view of the Pic du Lombard summit,- and above all, a delicious meal at the Refuge des Fonts,this is an interesting idea for a pleasant day out.

From the Curlet cross, there is a superb view of Saint Véran, the highest village in Europe, and the entire upper Queyras, from the Col d'Izoard to the Col Agnel.

A relatively short and easy walk around the "Vauban" citadel of Mont-Dauphin. From the top of the circuit, there are fine views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, while the section along the river Guil offers a view not only of the Guil, but also of the Chalp canal waterfall. The walk can be followed by a stroll around the citadel.
