Description
Situated in the Hautes Alpes department, in the French region of Provence, Queyras Regional Natural Park is a protected area that offers incredible landscapes and hiking areas. I invite you to enjoy a wonderful adventure in this park for 8 days.
On this opportunity, we’ll take the Grande Randonné trail that covers a large section of the park and will allow us to discover several attractive spots. During this 8-day activity, we’ll cross different communes and visit the local mountain huts. Furthermore, while hiking in the French Alps, I’ll teach you about the geological formation of the range and we’ll have the chance to contemplate the local flora and fauna. At the bottom of the page, you can take a look at a detailed description of the itinerary.
Please, keep in mind that this program is for experienced hikers with a very good level of fitness. As for the trip dates, you can book a group program or you can join a private tour with flexible dates.

Setting off on an adventure on a whim, without a precise plan, walking according to desires and emotions, pushing further to discover what a summit or a ridge reveals. Trained as a business lawyer, then manager of a large sports store, biathlete and trail runner, it was my job as a guide that ultimately allowed me to establish a more structured and secure framework for my wanderings, but without ever losing my wonder and my curiosity. It is with this state of mind that today I like to travel and share the mountains here and elsewhere, preferably roaming, in order to give us time to soak up the landscapes which evolve over time, days and seasons.
I will always be happy to set off on the classic tours, but above all I strive to guide you off the beaten paths.

What people are saying about -Sarah

Frankly, Sarah Kleinknecht is what you dream of having when picking a guide and it is my pleasure to provide a review. My 76 year old mother and I recently went on a 5 day trek through the Alps and it was nothing short of perfect. Sarah is able to perfectly speak 3 different languages however I would argue that her ability to communicate the needs of her clients is her most fluent form of expression. She was easily able to adjust daily excursions depending on weather/ability and planned a life changing adventure. My mother, who as stated is 76, had a perfectly planned course of hikes/trails with challenging yet achievable objectives. Even more so, Sarah is low key a celebrity within the Alps having worked there over 20 years and knew everyone! We were warmly greeted like old friends everywhere we went. She is a positive yet stern guide who keeps safety first yet is always able to provide a laugh. Without a doubt, I would highly recommended Sarah!
