The Gorges du Guil

Highlight • Other

The Guil gorges are one of the natural gateways to the Queyras national park. The torrential river has carved exceptional gorges out of the rock. This canyon, on numerous occasions, has served as a scene for filming films. Nature is felt here in its raw state.
