The expert's opinion

The hikes offered take place on mountain trails with elevation gains and losses of 600 to 800 meters, without any particular technical difficulties. Expect to hike for approximately 5 to 6 hours per day. You will hike with a light daypack containing your essentials (picnic lunch, warm clothing, water bottle, etc.) if you choose to have your luggage transported. You don't need to be an expert hiker to participate in this trip. You simply need to be in good physical condition and not mind working up a sweat!


Each day you can choose the difficulty level of the route. The sporty route has a greater elevation gain. It may also include more technical or exposed sections.


During peak season, an inter-village shuttle system can save you some time and elevation gain on the stages, making them a little easier.


Regarding the calculation of elevation gain, this is either based on a field survey or a calculation using a computer model. The calculation takes into account all variations in terrain, both uphill and downhill, and not just the difference in altitude between two points! Thus, on a stage where the profile appears to be entirely uphill, the cumulative effect of small slopes could result in a negative elevation gain of around one hundred meters.

If you take your own measurements, it is not uncommon to find discrepancies with our description.

Mountain vigilance: autonomy and safety

Hiking without a guide is an authentic adventure that requires a minimum level of self-reliance: knowing how to read a map, checking the weather forecast, and respecting the mountains are essential. We provide maps and a detailed route guide, but on the trails, you are responsible for your own choices.

We are incredibly grateful to the entire *** team for this magnificent experience. This first mountain hiking trip will remain an unforgettable memory. We were amazed by the beauty and diversity of the Queyras landscapes: the valleys, high-altitude lakes, alpine pastures, and peaks offer exceptional panoramas. The ascent to 3,000 meters was a particularly powerful moment, with a magnificent view of the Alps and the Italian valleys. We greatly appreciated the quality of the organization and the program offered. Everything was well-prepared so we could fully enjoy the route independently. The app, maps, and roadbook allowed us to easily follow the itinerary and discover the various points of interest along the way. The guesthouses and mountain huts were also a wonderful discovery. Each has its own unique atmosphere, and we appreciated this immersion in the mountains. But beyond the landscapes and the organization, we will especially remember the wonderful people we met during these few days. The interactions with the other hikers, their kindness and encouragement, made this adventure even more enjoyable. This hike, which I did with my daughter, has truly given us a taste for the mountains. We leave with many wonderful memories and a desire to explore more of the Alps and, of course, to return to the Queyras region one day. A huge thank you to the whole team for this superb adventure!

Overall, I was satisfied. The destination didn't disappoint. I think I would have liked the stages to be a bit more challenging. The first stage, in particular, took me through some pretty villages, but I wasn't really in the mountains. From that perspective, the second stage was more satisfying. The GPS app doesn't always work (it sometimes wouldn't start or didn't always give warnings when I was off-route). I had to log in regularly to check my position.
