Queyras
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Queyras Valley is located in the French Hautes-Alpes. Its geographical extension is the basin of river Guil, a tributary of the Durance.
The Queyras was supposedly traveled through by Attila when he was conquering various areas of the planet.
It is one of the oldest mountain ranges of the Alps, and it was one of the last ones to be opened to public tourism towards the end of the 20th century. It is relatively unspoiled.
Famous mountains of this range include:
- La Taillante
- Le Grand Queyras (3114 m)
- Le Bric Bouchet
- Le Col Agnel - which is not a mountain, but a pass
- Le Pain de Sucre - literally "Sugar Loaf" because it has the shape of one, just like the one in Rio.
