La montagne active!

Here, you don’t count the days, you live them. In Vars, summer is all about freedom, discovery and shared pleasure. On the one hand, therail toboggan awaits you, ready to hurtle down the slopes at top speed. If the adrenalin wasn’t enough for you, head for the Vars Mountain Kart: a funny contraption, somewhere between a go-kart and a racing car, which promises some memorable descents. All those thrills got you hot? Head for the outdoor pool, where you’ll be surrounded by the mountains.

Getting your bearings while having fun, moving while marvelling

What if we turned the mountains into a life-size exploration ground? 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.

Starting at the Télémix de Chabrières, three easy routes (from age 3-4) turn walks into giant treasure hunts, ideal for learning to find your way around while having fun. For the more experienced, two other routes starting from the télésiège de la Mayt offer a tougher challenge, combining strategy, map reading and breathtaking panoramas. And for lovers of the wilderness, head for theVal d’Escreins, our Little Canada varsinc, with three fun and educational courses to discover with the whole family.

A sports course at altitude, is on offer around the lac de Chabrières. Between slalom, double ladder, balance beam, giant steps and parallel bars, you can move, activate and breathe! Accessible to all, it’s the perfect place for an invigorating break!

Fun Zone: the ideal introduction to mountain biking

At the foot of the Mayt chairlift, don’t miss the Fun Zone. Here you can discover, learn and dare. Younger children can try out the draisienne as they tame their first freedom. Older children can try out mountain bikes in discovery mode, on safe, fun trails. Parents, children, friends: there’s something for everyone.
