The Queyras region offers a different experience depending on the season. For hiking, trekking, and mountain biking/cycling, the period from June to September is best, when the trails are clear and the days are long. Winter, from December to March, is ideal for mountain sports such as downhill skiing or snowshoeing, thanks to consistent snow cover and lively villages. Each season has its own advantages, depending on your preferences and skill level.

1. Guided hiking tours with accommodation in mountain huts or hotels
2. Multi-activity packages combining mountain biking/cycling, downhill skiing, via ferrata…
3. Trekking tour with luggage transfer and full board
4. Tailor-made stays, adapted for families or small groups

By combining a range of activities into a single trip, Decathlon Travel simplifies the planning and allows you to fully enjoy the moment. Accommodation, supervision, activities: everything is included or made easy. No need to plan each step; simply let yourself be guided and live in the moment.

The Queyras region caters to both beginners and experienced athletes. Most hiking and mountain biking/cycling excursions offer varying levels of difficulty: beginner, intermediate, or advanced. Experienced guides accompany participants to ensure their progress and safety, even for first-time mountain sports enthusiasts. However, it's advisable to inquire about the intensity of your chosen program before booking.

The main access point is via the Mont-Dauphin – Guillestre train station, which offers daily connections to major cities (Paris, Marseille, Grenoble). From there, shuttle buses quickly connect to the villages within the resort. By car, the journey takes approximately three hours from Grenoble or Turin. Prepare your vehicle according to the season, as some roads are at high altitude and may still have snow late in spring or early in autumn.
