Vars
The White Forest
Vars, linked to Risoul by the Forêt blanche ski area, is an XXL playground where tapered carving, freeride sessions and a sunny atmosphere meet, all in the heart of unspoilt nature. Here, altitude rhymes with adrenalin… and authenticity.
Vars,
the sportswoman with a thousand faces
Vars is all about speed, with its legendary KL (kilometer-launched) run, where world records flirt with 255 kph. It’s also about creativity, with its renowned
Val d’Escreins
La Forêt Blanche,
the power of connection
Linking Vars and Risoul, La Forêt Blanche lives up to its name: a sea of fir trees where the slopes wind their way through, offering panoramic views stretching as far as the Écrins. It’s this unique link between two resorts that is its strength: two atmospheres, two characters, but a single promise: that of escape.
The KL track,
the extreme straight
A veritable totem of Vars, the KL piste is a living legend. Steep, smooth and relentless, it defies the laws of gravity and human limits. It’s not a question of descent, but of flight.
