The Queyras is a regional park on the Italian border with around 300 days of sun a year, which is why the walking here feels dry, bright and open. Trails climb from wooded gorges through meadows into rocky, almost desert uplands, then over a run of accessible passes. Saint-Veran, at 2,042m, claims to be the highest village in Europe, and each valley has its own timber architecture. Chamois, ibex and marmots are regular company.
