I'm off on a hike in the Pays du Guil
Hiking in the mountains, in the Alps, with friends, with family or with children, it remains one of the best options to discover the breathtaking scenery, to submerge in nature, fill your longs with fresh air, empty your head of all worries, to revitalize.

You’d like to go hiking on a path with quite some height difference, for a longer distance, or on the other hand just go for an easy walk? Here as well, the choice is yours. In le Pays du Guil, at the crossroads of the Parc du Queyras, the Parc des Ecrins, the Guillestrois, the Val d’Escreins, the only thing you need to do is make a choice on the hike you want to do, and then set off.

Challenging hike
If a challenging hike is what you’re after, be it for several hours or several days, le Pays du Guil has just what it takes. You could aim to reach one of the 3000m heigh summits, some of which are even fairly easy to reach.
This is certainly the option to take if you’re a fan of wide panoramic views. From the summits, when the sky is clear, you’ll easily see the Mont Blanc and the Mont Viso. In the Parc des Ecrins, one of these summits is the Tête du Vautisse.
In the Parc du Queyras you could walk to the Pic de la Mortice for instance.
If on the other hand, you have a preference to hike to mountain lakes, there’s plenty of options for you as well.
