Winter Walks
35 km of traced out, marked out and packed down paths. Discovery of the Fontbonne area, of the Peyniers area with its orientation table, of villages with old communal wash tubs and ovens, and small streets which will lead you to meet the locals. Unmissable, the panorama from the Vars Pass (2109m), with the lake of Napoleon's refuge downhill, a favourite spot for trekkers.
The "promenade" ticket (4.60€) gives pedestrians access to the unclutchable chair lift at Sainte Marie or to the Chabrières' cable car. 1 ride= 1 ticket. Going downhill can be done via the chair lift or the cable car.
A free shuttle service is provided to go to each village or to the Vars pass.

The "Art de Vivre" in Vars
vars, a resort with a Mediteranean character in its climate and the purety of its blue sky at an altitude perfectly in tune with its immaculate scenery.
It is in a great setting that Vars has resolutely planted the modernity flag in the mountain environment of the 3 historic villages: a harmonious cohabitation between tradition, modern services and a warm welcome. Everyone will find something to arouse their taste buds among the good typical Vars food, restaurants still speak the language of our most typical dishes with tasty resonances: "crousetons", donkey ears, nettle soup, full-flavoured wines and liquors.
Find out by yourself how good it is to live in Vars, to relax and have fun there, to let yourself go...
