The World Cup speed skiing events in Vars have been postponed
For technical organisational reasons and due to weather forecasts predicting heavy snowfall, it has been decided to postpone the FIS World Cup events scheduled to take place in Vars from 26 to 31 January 2026 to 18 to 22 March 2026. You can find the programme HERE.
From 18 to 22 March 2026, Vars will be hosting the 2026 World Speed Skiing Cups.
No doubt you won’t be able to miss the ski rockets on the Chabrières piste with their highly specialised equipment: aerodynamic latex suits to minimise air resistance, 2m40 long skis, helmets, fins and streamlined poles.
Last year, the Italians dominated the two stages of the World Cup in speed skiing, with Simone Origone in the men’s race and Valentina Greggio in the women’s race. In the second stage, Valentina set the fastest time of the competition, even outperforming the men.

Ot Vars Lea Scappini 02022025 Podium 2The Chabrières piste is unique. With a slope of 98% at the start, it allows skiers to descend at incredible speeds, reaching over 200km/h in less than 6 seconds – an acceleration comparable to that of a Formula 1 car. For almost 30 years, Vars has played host to this breathtaking discipline and holds the world ski speed record, set at 255.50km/hm by Simon Billy.
