Ceillac

Discover the small village of Ceillac in the Hautes-Alpes

At the very end of the small, winding road that climbs through impressive rock formations, at an elevation of 1,650 m, you’ll find the charming village of Ceillac, which lies on a plain surrounded by high mountains.

Here, you’ll find absolute tranquility (the road ends just past the village), and you’ll be right at the starting point for two of the most prestigious hiking trails: the GR5, which crosses the Alps, and the GR58, which takes you on a complete loop around the Queyras. Vast forests, four high-altitude lakes, sun-drenched alpine meadows dominated by majestic peaks...
You’re in the heart of the Queyras Regional Nature Park, where the flora and fauna are protected: with a little patience, you might spot a golden eagle, a chamois, an ibex, or a marmot.
And, if you’re lucky, you might learn to recognize a real wolf—as well as even rarer creatures like the chancroï, shangrilla, or bouquiéchamotte!
