Renting a snowshoe in Vars is the ideal opportunity to discover the mountains in a different way, to the rhythm of your footsteps in powder snow. Between 1,850 m and the ridges that dominate the resort, the itineraries wind through larch forests, opening onto superb panoramas of the Queyras, Ubaye and Écrins mountains. Accessible to all, it's the perfect activity for alternating with skiing or sharing a contemplative stroll with the family.

The right time? After a snowfall, when the morning light reveals an immaculate landscape. The sunny days typical of the Hautes-Alpes offer snow that is often cold and dry; by mid-afternoon, it can change depending on the direction you're facing. If the wind is strong, we recommend the undergrowth around Vars-les-Claux or the more sheltered clearings near the hamlets. Always check the weather forecast and avalanche bulletin before setting off.
