The active mountain!

Here, you don’t count the days, you live them. At Vars, summer is all about freedom, discovery and shared pleasure. On one side, the tobogganing rail awaits you, ready to hurtle down the slopes at top speed. If the adrenalin isn’t enough for you, head for the Vars Mountain Kart: a funny machine that’s part kart, part racing car, and promises some memorable descents. Have all those thrills got you hot? Then head for the outdoor 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!

Fun Zone: the ideal introduction to mountain biking

Don’t miss the Fun Zone at the foot of the Mayt chairlift. 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.

As many larches

so many adventures

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

One day, a guided hike to meet the marmots or to the panoramic ridges; the next, a wellness break, a climbing session, an accrobranche course or a via ferrata with the family. And why not try your hand at rafting, paragliding or a tennis lesson?

Entertainment to liven up your holidays

Every week, the Tourist Office puts together an eclectic programme of events. Concerts, creative workshops, shows, games for young and old: it’s impossible to stay idle. In short, boredom has taken a holiday elsewhere.
