Description
This 6-day tour in the Queyras Regional Park is an exceptional opportunity. You’ll trek around the French Alps, with the comfort of staying in a hotel or inn.
The Queyras is a valley in the French Alps, one of the most breathtaking areas in the world. Trekking around the Alps is a unique experience. The Alps offer many wonderful locations to discover, but the Queyras is simply astonishing. It was one of the last mountain ranges in the Alps to be opened to tourism. Hence, this area has remained one of the most intact.
This type of trekking tour normally offers accommodation in refuges and mountain huts. However we have designed this tour to explore the Queyras with the comfort of staying in 2 and 3 star hotels and inns.
We will visit Chianale, one of the prettiest villages in the Alps region. You’ll also have the chance to explore the Ceillac valley and the lakes that surround it, like the Saint Anne and the Mirror Lake.
I will take you across smooth pastures and magnificent scenery until we reach the Fromage Pass. You will get to see the highest mountain in the Queyras, the Front Sancte peak. And, you will climb the Cascavelier and the Caramantran Peak. The views that the summit of these two peaks offer is phenomenal.
We’ll walk through beautiful forests, typical of the region. We will discover unique flora and fauna. Moreover, you’ll mingle with friendly locals and learn about the local culture, cuisine and architectural heritage.
So, if you are looking for an exclusive way to explore the Queyras, without sacrificing the comforts of staying in a hotel, this trip is for you. Send me a message and I’ll make sure you have an amazing time in the Alps.
