Winter is setting in in Vars | Vars: Hautes-Alpes ski resort

The peaks are turning white

The season is approaching

After several weeks of autumnal colours, the landscapes around Vars are gradually taking on their winter appearance. The first snowfalls of the season are blanketing the peaks and slopes of our mountains, marking the change of season that many have been waiting for.

This transition is gradually transforming the resort’s vistas. The larch forests, which were still displaying their golden hues in recent weeks, are now giving way to the characteristic atmosphere of winter in the mountains.

In Vars, this transformation continues day by day, gently heralding the arrival of winter and the delights this season has in store for mountain lovers and winter sports enthusiasts.
