LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
Nearby Attractions: Molines is a picturesque resort in the Queyras area of the Alps and lovely to stroll around on the days that the pistes get too much. Most of the slate and stone houses in the area have steep roofs and the village has a communal bread oven which is used for festivals. You will also find quite a lot of sundials in the village.

Saint Romain Church just outside the village dates back to the 14th century and is dominated by the bell tower. Hiking is ideal in the area and limited trails are available in the Winter. At this altitude the air is invigorating and views magnificent. Ask at the tourist office (Tel:0492458322) for the routes around the local hamlets.
Aprés-Ski: Not much to report apart from a few hotel restaurants and bars. There are a couple of cafes in the village, but for a lively social scene you may have to look further afield to Brancon which is the nearest town of any size at 18 km away.
