1. Discovering our natural jewel

Finally, it’s hard to talk about Vars without mentioning its Canadian-style jewel: the Val d’Escreins. Here, everything invites you to disconnect: the grandiose landscapes, the crystal-clear water, the discreet fauna, the waterfalls… You come here to walk, contemplate, breathe, reconnect with what’s essential or, for those with a sweet tooth, share a convivial moment with family or friends over a barbecue or picnic in the dedicated areas. In short, Val d’Escreins is Vars at its most natural and authentic.

2. A rhythmic, festive summer program

Because summer in Vars is anything but monotonous! All summer long, the resort offers a lively and eclectic program, combining sporting events, cultural events and entertainment for all ages… This summer, each week has its own theme, with open-air concerts, shows, creative workshops… Among the highlights, don’t miss the Vars Mountain Trail, the MTB Team Up for mountain bike enthusiasts, or the August 15 festival, to relive Varsincque traditions in a warm and authentic atmosphere!

3. Theme trails to discover the mountain in a different way

Hiking in Vars is an immersive experience. Thanks to easy, well-marked themed trails, everyone can set off to discover the treasures of the area. Whether you’re looking for wellness, information on the history of Vars, its geology and pastoralism, or the surrounding flora and fauna, you’re bound to find an itinerary to suit you! And for the curious, don’t miss out on our themed trails – they’re just waiting for you! More generally, Vars has a multitude of hikes not to be missed.

4. Guaranteed thrills

Here, thrill-seekers will find plenty to keep them entertained. In Vars, adrenalin is experienced on land, on rails and on two wheels! Rail tobogganing, the Vars mountain kart or the many mountain bike trails with a modern bike park, give you a whole new way to experience the mountains: with a smile on your face and your heart beating with excitement!

5. Heatwave? Not here!

Nestled at an altitude of 1850 metres, Vars offers a breath of fresh air. Here, temperatures remain mild even in the height of summer, ideal for outdoor activities. And for those who like it absolutely cool, there’s nothing like taking a break on one of our high-altitude lakes: Lac de l’étoile, Lac des 9 couleurs, Lac Napoléon, Lac Peyrol or Lac Chabrières are just some of the lakes to discover. Some are easily accessible, others more confidential, but all offer enchanting landscapes and a feeling of total disconnection.
