Must-do activities

An active mountain holiday!

Here, we don’t just count the days – we live them. In Vars, summer is all about freedom, discovery and shared fun. On the one hand, the toboggan run awaits you, ready to hurtle down the slopes at breakneck speed. If that wasn’t enough of an adrenaline rush, head to Vars Mountain Kart: a quirky vehicle, somewhere between a go-kart and a racing car, which promises some unforgettable descents. Have all these thrills worked you up a sweat? Head to the outdoor swimming pool, where you’ll be surrounded by the mountains.

Get your bearings while having fun, move around while being amazed

How about turning the mountains into a life-size exploration area? All you have to do is put on your trainers! The advantage? Orienteering trails aren’t just for compass experts. On the contrary, they’re the perfect opportunity to discover the mountains in a different way, with family or friends.

Departing from the Télémix at Chabrières, three easy routes (for 3-4 year-olds) turn walks into giant treasure hunts, ideal for learning to find your bearings while having fun. For the more experienced, two other routes departing from the Mayt chairlift offer a more challenging combination of strategy, map reading and breathtaking panoramas. And for lovers of the wilderness, head for the Val d’Escreins, our Little Canada varsinc, with three fun and educationaltrails for the whole family to discover.

There’s also a high-altitude sports trail around Lac de Chabrières. From slalom to double ladders, balance beams, giant steps and parallel bars, it’s all about movement, activity and breathing! Accessible to all, it’s the perfect place for an invigorating break!

Thanks to our passionate partners, you can enjoy a change of scenery every day.

One day, a guided hike to spot marmots or along panoramic ridges; the next, a wellness break, a climbing session, a treetop adventure course or a family dog-walking hike. And why not give rafting, paragliding or a tennis lesson a go?
