Les Astragales

In the centre of the Natural regional park of Queyras in the Hautes Alpes, this stop-over is ideally located for daily hikes in the different valleys of Queyras, in both summer and winter.

The Gîte des Astragales has been awarded the "Valeur Parc Naturel Régional" label for its commitment to the sustainable development of the region: preserving the environment, social well-being and the local economy.
Starting and finishing point of the Tour du Queyras on the GR 58, the gîte is also on the itinerary of the legendary GR 5 (GTA). Situated in the center of the Queyras, at the crossroads of the different valleys, it's the ideal location for a star holiday.
Accessible all year round via the main Queyras valley road, the gîte is located in the hamlet of Ville-Vieille, about 2 km from Château-Queyras, and is ideal for hiking, biking or ski touring. It's a 3-minute walk from the bus station, which provides transport from the Mont-Dauphin - Guillestre station and inter-village shuttles. Nearby, in Chateau-Queyras (within walking distance), rafting and via ferrata are available, as is a visit to the 13th-century fort.
On the Aiguilles side (2km), access to the ice waterfall, skating rink, play area or summer swimming pool, then Abriès (10 km), Molines (6km) Saint Véran (11 km), Arvieux (9 km) and Ceillac (22 km) cross-country skiing, downhill skiing and ski touring.
