The Tour du Queyras (GR 58) usually opens mid-June, once the high cols melt out and the huts open.

This year the line was first 95% snow-free on 7 June 2026, and autumn snow returned by 10 October 2026.

The latest satellite reading, from 4 November 2026, shows 95% snow-free.

Sentinel-2 satellite imagery from 30 October – 4 November 2026 shows 95% of the Tour du Queyras (GR 58) line clear of snow, with about 5 km still under snow.

That is little change from the week before.

The snow line sits at about 2,650 m.

Snow remains on stage 6; the other stages are clear or nearly clear.

Less snow than the same week in 2025, when the route was 70% snow-free.

What it means: Expect continuous snow from about 2,650 m. Micro-spikes and poles are recommended above that height, and an ice axe on steep north-facing traverses.

How this is measured

The route is sampled every 200 m along the classic stages. Each point uses its most recent cloud-free satellite view from the 10 days before the update.

A point counts as snow when Sentinel-2 classifies it as snow or its snow index (NDSI) is high. Cloud, shadow and no-data pixels are left out.

Imagery: Copernicus Sentinel-2 L2A (Earth Search STAC), 20 m. Elevation: Mapbox Terrain-DEM v1 (zoom 12).

Satellite snow cover is a planning aid, not a safety verdict. It cannot see snow under trees or thin new snow, and it says nothing about avalanche danger, cornices or ice. Check with huts, guides and local bulletins before you go.
