Queyras February 2020
A six day tour in the Queyras exploring terrain between St Véran and Abriès. Two nights were spent in the Refuge de la Blanche, three nights in small hotels in Molines and Le Coin, and the final night in a gite in Abriès.
After a few days of strong wind, the snow was mostly firm and packed but we did find a few pockets of drifted powder in north facing gullies.
