About Vars
Linked with neighbouring Risoul, Vars forms part of the La Forêt Blanche ski area, offering 185km of varied pistes suited to beginners, intermediates and families alike. Meaning 'the white forest', La Forêt Blanche is known for its scenic tree-lined runs, with sheltered slopes weaving through beautiful woodland. The resort also benefits from an impressive altitude, with skiing reaching 2,750m at the summit of Pic de Chabrières. Take in the panoramic views from the top before enjoying a long descent of more than 1,000 vertical metres back to the village below.
The resort offers two distinct experiences. Vars Les Claux is the modern heart of the ski area, where you'll find the main lifts, lively après-ski spots and the greatest choice of accommodation. Just a 10-minute bus ride away, Vars Sainte-Marie offers a more traditional Alpine atmosphere, with charming streets, wooden chalets and a quieter pace of life.
There's plenty to enjoy beyond the pistes too. Race through the twists and turns of the Caribou mountain coaster, a thrilling mix of roller coaster and alpine toboggan. If you're after more adrenaline, try ice driving or snowmobiling, or swap horsepower for huskies with a memorable dog sledding adventure through the snowy landscape.
