Vars is an Alpine commune in the Hautes-Alpes, made up of hamlets and focused on mountain activities. Hôtel Le Monte Pente is in Vars Sainte-Marie, in an area where people come for skiing in winter and trails when the snow gives way to summer landscapes. The setting suits travellers who enjoy mountain terrain, outdoor activities and stays at a mountain resort rather than in a large city.

The Bois Noir V12 and Sainte-Marie V18 ski lifts are 140 m and 450 m away respectively. Vars ski resort is 2.5 km away; the Vars/Risoul ski area also has slopes in the area. Queyras Regional Natural Park, 1.9 km away, offers mountain scenery and hiking routes. Montdauphin-Guillestre train station is 10 km away. In the hamlet, the Ecumenical Centre is a local landmark, while the cable cars provide access to resort activities.

Winter is suited to skiing, snowshoeing and snowkiting, three activities practised in the region. When conditions change, hiking and cycling let you explore the terrain at a different pace; paragliding is also among the leisure activities available in the area. You can plan a day around the slopes or a walk along the trails, then return to Vars Sainte-Marie to enjoy the restaurant and terrace. Écrins National Park, another major protected area in the Alps, is also in the region.
