Molines-Saint-Véran
About the area
Queyras – Molines/Saint-Véran is a small area, about 29 km of pistes, that clearly favours those still learning. Green and blue runs make up 53% of the network (16 km), and there are 14 short easy runs right next to a lift base, so first turns and repetition are straightforward. Intermediates get the biggest single block, 12 km of red. Experts will run out of options quickly: only 2 km is black or expert terrain (6%), and the longest vertical on a single run is 475 m. Families can ski here, but with some caveats given the limited scale.
Twelve lifts serve the slopes: six platters, four other drag lifts and two chairlifts, so expect a lot of surface-lift riding. The area runs from 1738 m to 2805 m, high by Southern Alps standards, and the longest run measures 2231 m.
