Tour du Queyras
A loop through the Queyras Regional Natural Park — where larch forests give way to high passes with views across to Italy's Monte Viso — the route passes centuries-old sundials and villages that people still farm and inhabit, remnants of the historic "Republic of Escartons." The terrain shifts from cool mountain torrents to sun-baked exposed hillsides and wind-scoured peaks, all within a region that claims 300 days of sunshine a year.

Piste de Ségure - Le Plan de l'Alpe
The trail climbs through forest past old larch trees and martagon lilies into the tight Ségure valley, opening onto alpine pastures before reaching a small mountain lake at the foot of Pic Ségure — where, on a clear day, the Grand Queyras fills the horizon.
