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.
If you are interested in this adventure, but want to experience the French lifestyle closer, this 7-day Queyras guided trek staying in Gites, might be what you are looking for.

What people are saying about Explore-Share
Man
Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
