Col des Estronques walks

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.

Here is a simple 4-day route that alternates between Queyras and Ubaye, starting from the hamlet of Cros before Saint-Véran. The Queyras valley will be the first stop for a night by Lac de la Blanche at the refuge of the same name. The route through Ubaye will take you over the Col de la Noire before descending to the hamlet of Maljasset. You will return to Queyras on day 3 via the Col Girardin before returning to the starting point via the Col des Estronques on the fourth day.

The Tour du Queyras, labelledGR®58, is adaptable. The route described, starting from Château Queyras and completed in a group in September 2008, will take you through this natural park, skirting and climbing some 3,000 metres.

The bright blue sky the next day will quickly make you forget the storm of the previous evening.
