Snowshoeing in the Queyras

Snowshoeing in the Queyras. 1-day trip w/ a UIMLA certified mountain guide. I propose to do it together with snowshoes, in large areas of Queyra.

Description

Such a wide variety of landscapes, natural environments, architectural diversity in such a small territory explains the Queyras Nature Regional Park ranking. And there is nothing like a “hiker” to exceed visitor status, be truly integrated into the landscape. I therefore propose to be this hiker to leave together with snowshoes, in large areas of Queyras.

Different options and locations are possible. Here are some:

– Ceillac, Mirroir Lake, in the Font Sancte massif (3385 m). On the North side, 2200 m, still snowy, the site is one of the most suitable for snowshoeing. I have accompanied groups several times a week for over 20 years and I never get tired of it. I program half day outings.

– Ceillac, the Jardin Secret. A true harmony from valley to valley along the Cascade stream with the water flowing under the ice: magical! Only snowshoeing we can feel the nature, gently, being in the landscape rather than facing the landscape.

A formula I also like a lot is the snowshoe hiking and barbecue. A unique moment of conviviality, in the countryside, safely, making a fire in the snow and preparing a barbecue, yes, it’s possible!

Contact me if you will spend your next vacation in the Queyras. We can go together to explore this beautiful area.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
