The Balcony of Cristillan

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.
The Col de Bramousse and Col de Fromage via the Col de Souillet
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.
Lac Miroir via the Cascade de la Pisse

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.
Lac Sainte-Anne tour

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.
Col de Clausis by its lake

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.
Basse Rua - Maljasset
There is a long crossing before the Col des Houerts, which takes you into the Ubaye Valley.
Loop of the Refuge de Furfande

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.
The Curlet Cross

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.
Crête de la Marcelette from Saint-Véran

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.
The Bucher Summit

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.
The balcony trail along the Grand Canal in 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.
The Col des Prés de Fromage

This forest and mountain pasture trail offers a fascinating glimpse of the valley and some of Europe's highest villages, including Saint Véran.
The Rocher de l'Aigle and return via the Canal Salva
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.
Salva Canal from Guillestre

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.
Between Molines-en-Queyras and Saint-Véran

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.
La Gardiole de l'Alp

A beautiful circuit above the hamlets of Molines-en-Queyras, allowing you to discover the Queyrassin mountain pastures and surrounding peaks.
Col de Serenne and Crête de la Selle from Vars
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.
Loop around Lac de Roue and the hamlet of Souliers

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.
