Ceillac walks

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.

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 pleasant visit to two pretty lakes at the foot of Font Sancte.

This is a challenging hike at the start, which continues along the Cascade de la Pisse waterfall. Lac Miroir, nestled in a pretty valley, reflects the snow-capped peaks all around. The Cascade de la Pisse waterfall, seen from below, is accessible directly from the car park (2 minutes' walk), and the hike follows the tumultuous torrent.

A place of pilgrimage on 26 July on the feast day of Anne, this lake at the foot of the Col Girardin is an obligatory stop-off point for pilgrims on the famous GR®5.

The hike is not too difficult and ends at over 3,000 metres. There is a magnificent view from the summit. There are many marmots.

A beautiful loop allowing you to visit these different lakes as well as the Tête de Girardin.

In a lush green setting, Lac de Clausis offers a relaxing break with friends or children after a short climb that is accessible to all.

A fine hike, not too strenuous, with a pretty lake in a high-mountain landscape. The last part, a little harder, takes you up to 2800m and offers magnificent views. A few marmottes can be seen on the way to the pass.

There is a long crossing before the Col des Houerts, which takes you into the Ubaye Valley.

A beautiful classic hike that starts from Val d'Escreins (nature reserve) and climbs up to the ridges overlooking the Vars Valley, then descends further down via another pass.

Visit the lake of the same name as the one below Brec du Chambeyron in Ubaye. It is located at the bottom of Val d'Escreins and at the foot of La Mortice.

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.

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.

This is a superb hike, partly unmarked on the IGN map, where you will undoubtedly be the only ones to enjoy the 360° panorama throughout the central part of the hike.The ridge is safe for hikers who are not afraid of heights and are used to the mountains. Hiking boots are recommended.About halfway along the ridge, there is a lovely spot for a snack, with a hollow to shelter from the wind.

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.

This hike starts in Saint-Véran, follows the Clausis chapel trail, which it leaves to return via a beautiful balcony path along the course of the old Grand Canal. Without any difficulty, it offers superb views of the Saint-Véran valley, the village and the surrounding peaks throughout the route.

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

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

A short hike starting from Guillestre with the added bonus of climbing to a small summit for the view, before returning via a wide forest path, then a path that joins the hamlet of Les Terrasses before taking the Canal Salva path that brings us back to the starting point.

A lovely walk in a green setting with little elevation gain on an easy trail (along the water) to do with the family, keeping a close eye on young children in the more exposed areas or on the ridge. Some sections offer superb views of Guillestre and beyond, then through the trees to the Guil Gorges.

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.

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

Quite a long stage but a steady route. A climb up to Col de Mary then a long downhill hike all the way to the shelter, in Chiaperra, Italy.

A beautiful circuit above the hamlets of Molines-en-Queyras, allowing you to discover the Queyrassin mountain pastures and surrounding peaks.

On the agenda: flowers, marmots, mountain lakes (those of Marinet), waterfalls, streams and rivers, snow and two passes (Marinet and Mary). There are some beautiful patches of snow on the trail leading from the last Marinet lake and the nearby bivouac to the Marinet pass (2,800 m) and then to the Mary pass. There are views of Italy from the trail between the two passes. There are quite a few marmots in the Mary valley, which can be seen in the early morning and late afternoon.

This is a beautiful circular of just under 30 km, crossing the Ubaye several times and taking hikers to one of the highest peaks in the Ubaye at 3,340 m. The view from the top is magnificent and stretches far into the distance. At the foot of the Bric is the high-altitude lake of Mongioia at 3,080 m. Return to the starting point via the Pas de Salsa and Lac du Loup.

A magnificent route along a jagged rocky ridge offering sublime views of Font Sancte and the surrounding peaks. Panoramic views of the Écrins mountains throughout.

A long loop passing through two passes and several ridge crossings, traversing mountain pastures. The Couniets and Selle ridges are wild and rarely visited. Magnificent views of the surrounding mountains.

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

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.
