Location & what to see
Aiguilles is a mountain village in the Queyras, in the Hautes-Alpes, crossed by the Guil and surrounded by alpine terrain. The landscape combines village houses, wooded slopes and peaks; local life follows the seasons and outdoor activities. This is a good stop for travellers who want to walk, cycle or ski in a mountain setting rather than spend their time visiting cities.
The Queyras Regional Natural Park stretches around the village, with hiking routes and high-valley scenery. In Aiguilles, Saint-Jean-Baptiste Church and the municipal swimming pool are nearby. The Devez ski lifts serve the slopes, while the Aiguilles ski resort is 1.4 km away. By car, Ville-Vieille and Château-Queyras offer a chance to explore other villages in the area; Château-Queyras is known for its fort perched above the valley. The road network links the scattered villages of the Queyras, making a car useful for trying different hiking trailheads.
In winter, snow activities take centre stage, and the hotel’s ski storage room provides a place to keep your equipment. When the weather warms up, the paths invite you to explore the valleys on foot or by bike, and the area is also suited to canoeing, kayaking and horse riding. You can combine a day out in the mountains with a visit to a neighbouring village, leaving time to enjoy the garden or terrace when you return. Changes in altitude and weather are part of the stay, so pack clothing suited to your activities and the season.
