Overview
The Sowell Family Vars is all about making ski days as easy as possible, with a slopeside setting that puts you right by the action. Confident skiers can glide straight from the boot room onto a blue run, while at the end of the day you can ski almost all the way back to the same spot. Inside, the hotel has a warm, welcoming feel designed with families in mind, with cosy rooms combining classic mountain touches, wooden details and soft colours to create a relaxing retreat after a day in the snow.
The all-inclusive setup means there’s little need to worry about extra costs during your stay. Start the day with a hearty breakfast, grab your packed lunch when you head out skiing and refuel later with an afternoon snack before sitting down to a varied dinner buffet, with plenty of choices to keep younger guests happy too. If you fancy something a little different, there’s also an à la carte restaurant serving French favourites such as fondue, available for an extra charge with a 20% guest discount.
Drinks are covered too, with free soft drinks and alcoholic beverages available from 10am until 10pm. Whether you’re relaxing after your final run, enjoying a drink with the family or getting ready for another day on the mountain, the Sowell Family Vars gives you an easy-going, great-value base where everything is geared towards enjoying your ski holiday.

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.
