Abriès was the first rural commune in France to be electrified, at the turn of the 20th century — a monument opposite the church commemorates the event.
Tourism here began with English mountaineers: the Queyras's first grand hotel was built as early as 1897, long before skiing arrived.

✍️ Our verdict on Abriès-en-Queyras

Abriès-en-Queyras is a low-key resort on a modest scale: 21 km of runs for an intimate skiing experience, far from the bustle of the big resorts. This is where you come for calm, authenticity and no queues at the lifts. Abriès-en-Queyras has kept the identity of an authentic mountain village, far from the concrete resorts of the 1970s. Here, you come for the clean air, the unspoiled landscapes and a friendly atmosphere that stands apart from the industrialisation of skiing in some large ski areas. Abriès-en-Queyras's altitude (1,550 m at the base, 2,390 m at the top) allows it to maintain reasonable snow cover in the depths of winter. January and February are the most reliable months; in December and March, it's best to check conditions before finalising a booking. With a day lift pass at just €18, Abriès-en-Queyras is one of the most affordable destinations in France. For families on a tight budget or skiers who want to fit in plenty of days on the slopes without breaking the bank, it's a sincere and often overlooked choice. In short: Abriès-en-Queyras doesn't compete with the giants of skiing, and doesn't pretend to. It's an honest destination, often underrated, that deserves to be (re)discovered.
