I'm a mountain enthusiast who loves the Southern Alps, especially the Queyras Regional Nature Park (which stretches from Vars to the Italian border). I practice many mountain sports (skiing, hiking, mountain biking, climbing, via ferrata). I'm keen to share these passions, and to help people discover this wonderful area.

Set in a magnificent cirque, the resort of Vars enjoys an exceptional location in Southern Alpine and enjoys around 300 days of sunshine per year.

The Vars ski area also offers multiple orientations, so you can ski all day in the sun. Le Refuge des Marmottes *** is ideally located in the resort, at Vars-les-Claux (1850m).
