Sun. 06 Sept.: Saint Veran south faces Faces
For your first day of walking, to discover the place you will enjoy a loop walk on the south faces of Saint Veran from the hotel. You will discover the valley of the Aigues Blanche river stream.
This is a perfect way to see the place from different angles and even if this walk is close to Saint Veran you will take tracks where you will see hardly anyone. Then climb up in direction of col du Longet (2701m) from where you can see the valley of Col Agnel on the other side. Many variations of the walk are possible, tackle pic Traversier ascent (2882 m) or even pic de château Renard (2989 m), for the most experience walkers.
Alternatively you can follow the old irrigation canal a lovely and more leisurely way to close the loop back to Saint Veran.
Breakfast & dinner included. Picnic lunch not included.

Another walk with some sections off tracks offering superb views of the Aigue Blanche valley, the superb village of Molines, with its typical alpine architecture. You will walk down initially to the Pont du Moulin before climbing up to the Puy barns, and old farmer’s house. From there the track heads north and off track following nice meadow and animal tracks. The “balcony walk” offers some fine views to Saint Veran and Molines all the way to the “Col des Pres Fromages”. It is also a great place to observe chamoix. The way back to Saint Veran will take the track in the forest of La Chalp and Molines.
Breakfast & dinner included. Picnic lunch not included.

    1. Joanne Keane –

      What an enjoyable week we had in St. Véran. The walking in the Queyras region was spectacular and the day we reached the top of Pic Foreant was the highlight! The 3 guides were excellent. Yves, Genevieve and Stephanie took great care of everyone in the group. All had great knowledge of the walks and a good balance of leading people to do the most they could do while keeping safety at the foremost of their minds. The hotel was cosy, with friendly and attentive staff, and the food was good and plentiful. Just one tiny thing – a shower curtain would have been useful. It was a really memorable week in a most beautiful area for walking.

    2. Ann Kelly –

      Fantastic attention to detail and ambition by three excellent guides. Hotel provided cosy accommodation and plenty of food – noting in particular the local cheeses every night.
      All in all, a great week’s hiking in the Queyras. Looking forward to returning.
