Vars: Hautes-Alpes ski resort

See you on 12 December for the next instalment of the ‘ Vars en Scène ’ Festival, featuring Skip The Use for a 100 per cent rock gig. A wild atmosphere is guaranteed!

On Sunday 20 December, Sophie Edelstein will bring the new format of the Vars en Scène Festival to a close with a grand illusion show blending mystery, elegance and wonder.

The elves at the ‘ Forêt Blanche ’ are waiting to welcome you with a programme brimming with magic and entertainment for the whole family: children’s shows, enchanting storytelling, Christmas quizzes, activities on the snowfront and a giant toboggan run.

Join us on 24 and 25 December for the week’s highlights.

At an altitude of 1,850 metres, Vars offers a unique setting in which to celebrate the New Year, where young and old alike can come together, share some quality time and fully savour the festive atmosphere.

Top-level freeriding is coming to Vars with a new edition of the Southline Series on the legendary Eyssina face. A benchmark for freeriding in the Southern Alps, this spectacular competition will bring together skiers and snowboarders from all over the world to test their skills on one of the resort’s most stunning slopes.

The resort invites all snow sports enthusiasts and party-goers to its end-of-season weekend, themed around Vars Plage! There’ll also be a big free concert, because in Vars we always round off the season with music. Stay tuned – more information to follow.
