I'm hoping to get over to the Queyras this weekend for a week or so and I'm looking for a good gite or cheap accommodation in the area for when we're not staying at a refuge.

I'll have the car, so can drive about, a kitchen would be handy to cook our own food.

Any advice appreciated, including ski and ice conditions, suggested routes etc!
Also, is it worth getting a reciprocal rights card? Looks like there is only one CAF hut, I need to check if any of the CAI ones are on suitable routes.

In reply to MooseMouse:

I've stayed in several gite d'étape in the Queyras but most (all ?) offer evening meals/breakfast & probably don't have a kitchen for guests .

This is often useful

This is on the edge of the Queyras but has good access.

Thanks for the speedy feedback Doug, your link seems to be the best website for the area! I did spot a gite in Ceillac that has a user kitchen, but I didn't see any others.

I've now managed to book an apartment, at least for the first week in Ceillac, because her outdoors has managed to get a dose of the flu, so a Gite might not be the best option(for all concerned!) until she is on the mend.

Thanks for the other link Andy, looks like some great apartments if we had a bigger group, hopefully next year.
