GR58

The place

The GR58 Tour du Queyras is a waymarked loop circling the Queyras massif in the Hautes-Alpes, the driest massif in France, staying almost entirely above 1800m and crossing eight to nine mountain passes between 2250m and 2884m. The route alternates pastoral valleys, larch forests and high alpine lakes, and passes through Saint-Véran, the highest inhabited commune in Europe. It is a non-technical but sustained moyenne-montagne trek, refuge- and gîte-served daily, with several long high-altitude days.
