Col Lacroix (2299m) walks

This easily accessible border pass also offers a very pleasant loop through the mountain pastures and forests overlooking the right bank of the Guil.

Trek around Monte Viso in 5 stages. A beautiful high mountain hike. Hike over a 5 day period. An exquisite high mountain trek.

Beautiful viewpoint of Mont Viso, the Italian peaks and Queyras, with an easy descent down a very beautiful ridge on the way back. As orientation is not easy, I recommend supplementing the description with the Visorando app.

This first stage is a warm-up for the rest. It's a medium mountain trek starting through larch trees before reaching alpine pastures surrounding the pass. A beautiful view over Pellice valley during the hike down.

A 4 day trek on a high mountain route. The trek around Monte Viso (one of the highest summits in the Italian alps) is a sight for sore eyes. Crossing through some of the most authentic and wild high valleys of the Alps is delightful. This trek is almost identical to another trek by another hikiideas hiker which is done over 5 days. A big thank you to him and his description which inspired me.

A hike between the Queyras and the Upper Pellice Valley, in four stages, of moderate duration, from refuge to refuge. This route is accessible by public transport.

First stage starting at Queyras National Park (Parc National du Queyras) passing through Col Lacroix, then a beautiful Italian valley and ending up at a shelter near a lake where the real trek around Monte Viso will start the next day.
