6 days in the Queyras

Hi everyone,

I’m planning the Tour du Queyras from August 2nd to 8th, 2025, starting from Ceillac. 6 days if all goes well, 5 days if I’m moving fast, 7 days if the climbs are too much.

If anyone wants to join me, we can form a small group. I won’t handle bookings: I’ve got my tent, and if I can find a refuge, great—if not, no worries.

As you can see, I’m giving myself some flexibility to enjoy my hike without stress. I don’t walk fast: easy pace in the morning, not too quick in the evening. Yo

hi there, it's better to plan for 7 days because crossing the Queyras involves some significant elevation changes. Just the Col Fromage above Ceillac is quite a climb!

Yeah, I’ll see how it goes, no worries. Col Fromage is at 2300 m, and we’re starting from Ceillac at 1600 m, so that’s 700 m of elevation gain. A fit person can do it in under 2 hours, but I’ll budget the whole morning. Not worried.

I’d like to hike up to Pain de Sucre on the second day—might be a bit tougher there.
