Grand Queyras

Grand Queyras is a mountain peak in the southern Alps standing at 3022 meters (9,914 feet). Its rocky slopes and exposed ridges dominate the landscape in this part of the Queyras region.

The peak has served as a landmark for local communities over several centuries. Shepherds and travelers relied on its position to navigate through mountain passes.

Local mountain guides share knowledge of alpine flora and traditional navigation techniques with visitors while leading expeditions to the summit.

Experienced hikers can reach the summit via marked trails from June to September when weather is stable. Good physical fitness and proper mountain gear are necessary for the climb.

The northern face of the peak features lesser-traveled climbing routes with technical difficulty. These paths attract mountaineers looking for challenging ascents away from the main trail.
