Roure walks

An easy walk along a path running alongside the Germanesca. The starting point is not far from the Hotel de la Forestiera. The path is fairly flat and shaded. It is an easy walk for families and very pleasant in summer.

Enjoy both the pleasure of a lake and a beautiful ridge offering a 360° panorama (Écrins, Vanoise, Orsiera Park, Val Troncea, Queyras), all starting from a charming little hamlet that has been beautifully restored.

2nd stage is entirely in Italy allowing you to walk alongside the many military buildings that protect the nearby border. The long descent before the shelter lets you enjoy the Italian pastures that appear much greener than the French. This is due to the more abundant moisture from this side of the border.

3rd and last stage of this Franco-Italian circuit. It meets with a variation of the Queyras circuit above the Jervis Refuge to reach Valpréveyre by the Col d’Urine.

A lovely hike to an easily accessible summit, offering superb views of some of the peaks of Queyras, Écrins and the Italian Piedmont.

Three days walking through the passes and cabins in this region and opportunities to explore this lovely area. Enjoy an Italian tradition: agroturismo by residing overnight in one of the farms alongside calves, cows, pigs, chickens etc.

First stage of Circuit Franco-Italian border "Queyras in Val Pellice" punctuated by passages through three interesting passes: Malaure, Bouchet and Vampréveyre.

Long loop starting from Les Roux, taking us to Italy to Lago Verde and its refuge, returning via another pass and another equally pleasant valley and the hamlet of Valpréveyre.

The second stage of our trek around Monte Viso starts with a hike through green foliage at the bottom of the valley. Then a passage through beautiful alpine pastures near a delightful little lake. Stunning view point at Col Sellière.

An easy hike above 2,000 metres. It starts near the Col du Mont-Cenis, a pass known since ancient times for crossing the Alps. Starting from the superb Lac du Mont-Cenis, it leads to the modest Lac Clair at the foot of what remains of the Lamet Glacier.

A lovely hike from Lake Mont Cenis to the small clear lake. The route offers beautiful views of Lac de Mont-Cenis (although it was cloudy the day we did it). A fairly family-friendly hike.

The seventh and final stage takes you past the Malrif lakes under the ridge separating Queyras and Briançonnais.

Route following the hypothetical passage of Hannibal and his elephants across the Alps. At the end of the wild and long valley lies the superb and large Lake Savine, at the foot of the Dents D'Ambin. A little further on, the Clapier border pass offers a magnificent view. On the way back, take a short detour to the Perrin Lakes.

A long climb up the Ségure valley leads to these two grassy lakes nestled in the large cirque formed by the peaks of Pic des Fonds de Peynin, Grand Queyras and Pic Ségure.

Alpine pastures in bloom, lakes, a ridge with a magnificent view! A beautiful hike for the start of the season!

Beautiful mountain lakes and magnificent landscapes.

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.

This circular route, which is mostly above 2,000 m, takes you to both French and Italian military heritage sites. It also offers beautiful views, particularly of the Vanoise and Lac du Mont Cenis. Marked by directional signs but also by numerous paint marks of all shapes and colours. However, look out for the blue stars on a white background. From (3) to (6), the route is not very busy.

A circular hike starting from Aiguilles and passing through Chalvet, Le Lombard, Les Eygliers and La Pause. Normally classified as moderate, but difficult due to:- the uneven distribution of elevation gain: fairly steep climb from the start, almost flat for 7 km, steep descent,- two small, almost flat sections where the path is poorly marked,- a steep section protected by a handrail that is impractical in snow or frost and impossible for a donkey, even without a pack. A dog off the leash can pass through easily.

This hike is designed as a walk for someone who is not as alert as they used to be but who still loves the mountains, the smell of larch trees and the sound of cowbells.Note: as the walk starts from the car park of the EHPAD and the Foyer d'Accueil Médicalisé, Mamé is a generic name.NB: given the slight incline and long flat distances, this route can also be used for jogging, at a very different pace.
