Gita in bici di un giorno da Guillestre a Villar-Saint-Pancrace

Get ready for an epic climb through the French Alps! Starting out from Guillestre—a lively little town at the entrance to the Queyras Regional Park—you’ll pedal north through dramatic mountain scenery and rustic hamlets. This route to Villar-Saint-Pancrace covers about 40 km, and packs in over 2,000 meters of elevation gain, so get those legs spinning!

Expect to spend plenty of time on quiet roads and tracks, with a good chunk of the ride on unpaved or gravel surfaces—so wider tires will come in handy. You’ll wind through forested valleys, cross mountain streams, and maybe even spot marmots or eagles along the way. Don’t forget to pause and take in the jaw-dropping alpine panoramas at your highest point—1,386 meters!

Finish in Villar-Saint-Pancrace, a charming mountain village just outside Briançon, known for its scenic hiking trails and traditional alpine architecture. Refuel with some local cheese or a pastry and bask in the satisfaction of conquering one of the Alps’ secret gems!
