A pass straddling the Queyras and Fonts de Cervières valleys.
The trailhead is in Souliers, marked in red and white from the Cross (towards the Grand Rochebrune gîte, then left). It winds steeply upwards through the forest, then catches its breath in the mountain pastures. The sheep of the Péas sheepfold can be seen in the distance below. As the Grand Rochebrune encourages us, the trail progresses slowly towards the final ascent. On the other side of the pass, the Fonts de Cervières valleys open their arms to you, but save this option for your next Tour du Queyras! This time, you return by the same route.
In spring and autumn, conditions are changeable, and even snow-free trails can be icy. As a result, the reflex in the mountains is to "go out well equipped". In my bag, I slip or hang crampons and poles.
In winter, the right reflexes are: snowshoes, poles, gloves, hat, sun cream and... a survival blanket! Experience is essential, and knowing when to give up is sometimes preferable to taking risks. And if you're new to the mountains, don't hesitate to call in a professional! Before going out, I check the Météo France Montagnes and BERA bulletins (risks and avalanches).
