The Queyras massif are a massif of the Alps located between the French department of Hautes-Alpes and the Italian region of Piedmont.
It hosts part of the Queyras regional natural park.
The Queyras corresponds to the basin of the Guil River, encompassing both banks.[1] The massif itself is confined to the northern part of this region, specifically north of Château-Ville-Vieille, approximately along the right bank. It is bordered by Château-Ville-Vieille, Guillestre, and Briançon. The massif is surrounded by the Escreins massif to the south, the Écrins massif to the west, the Cerces massif to the north, and the Cottian Alps to the east.
The Queyras massif is divided into three geological zones. The western zone of the massif is sedimentary, consisting of limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. The center of the massif is made up of schist (calcschist), while the eastern zone is formed of ophiolites, gabbros, and basalts.[2]
