The Grand Raid of the Guillestrois and the Queyras 2026

Want a race that fills your eyes with wonder and your head with memories? The Grand Raid du Guillestrois et du Queyras, in Guillestre in the Hautes-Alpes, is the perfect combo of mountains, forest, lakes and fresh air—"wow" edition 🏔️.

Here, you’re not just coming to “do a race”: you’re coming to cross a postcard, with high-altitude sections that make you feel like you’ve switched the world to panorama mode 🔭.

And you choose your adventure: Skyrace du Rif Bel to gain elevation, Trail des Lacs to flirt with reflections, Trail des Crêtes to run along the ridge line, Trail des 6 Cols to collect legendary passes, or Grande Traversée and Ultra Tour if you like it when it lasts (and when it tells a real story) ⛰️.

The terrain plays with you: one moment cool shade under the trees, the next bright light above, and always that scenery pushing you onward… because the next viewpoint is right there 😉!

And after the effort, stick around to savor the area: a stroll at the Plan d’eau d’Eygliers, a trip to Fort Queyras for a lesson in character, a getaway to Saint-Véran (one of the highest villages in Europe), or a contemplative break at Lake Serre-Ponçon to finish in big-blue mode 🌊.

Come for the race, leave with a trip: in the Guillestrois and the Queyras, you don’t just “pass through”… you soak it in (and trust us, it really sticks) ✨.
