Vars is a mountain resort in the Hautes-Alpes, in the Southern Alps. Its landscape combines larch forests, high-altitude hamlets and peaks, with activities that change with the seasons. The Claux area has the resort’s services and access to the slopes; visitors come in winter to ski and, in fine weather, to walk through Alpine landscapes.

Several ski lifts are close to the hotel, including the Zakopane cable car, 120 m away, and Écrins V3, 230 m away. The Vars ski area is linked to Risoul under the name Forêt Blanche, a large alpine skiing area. Trails lead into the surrounding mountains, while the Queyras Regional Natural Park and Écrins National Park offer protected landscapes, walking routes and mountain views. Razis Waterfall is another place to visit in the region. A car can be useful for exploring the hamlets and mountain sights.

Winter is the season for snow sports; it is best to bring clothing suited to the cold and changing weather at altitude. In summer, hiking trails and outdoor activities take over, with days suited to walks and breaks on a terrace. Spring and autumn are quieter, though mountain conditions can vary. A day might begin on the slopes or a trail, then continue with a visit to the surrounding area and some time to unwind by the pool or in the sauna.
