SOWELL Family Vars

Vars, the perfect destination!

the perfect destination!

Vars, a gem of the Southern Alps at 1,850 metres

In the heart of the Hautes-Alpes, Vars stretches between the majestic Ubaye, Queyras and Écrins massifs. Surrounded by larch forests and bathed in generous sunshine, it strikes the perfect balance between mountain charm and modern facilities. Located along the legendary Route des Grandes Alpes, Vars attracts both winter sports enthusiasts and travellers seeking pure alpine air.

Winter: a vast playground for all

Linked with Risoul, Vars forms the Forêt Blanche ski area with 185 km of slopes. From gentle runs for beginners to technical descents beneath the striking Eyssina ridge, every skier finds their challenge. The dry, sunny climate ensures reliable snow cover throughout the season. The resort is also famous for its snowpark, freeride areas, and Nordic trails for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or sledging.

Summer: adventures and breathtaking panoramas

When the snow melts, Vars becomes a haven for hikers, mountain bikers, and lovers of unspoiled landscapes. Crossed by the Route des Grandes Alpes, it is a must-stop for motorcyclists and cyclists. Its trails lead to alpine lakes, panoramic ridges, and the Val d’Escreins nature reserve — nicknamed the “Little Canada” for its wild scenery. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, summer in Vars promises both action and relaxation.

Vars and its four villages

  • Les Claux (1850 m): the lively heart of the resort, perfectly located for skiing and shopping.
  • Sainte-Marie: a historic site, famous for its Tour de France stages.
  • Sainte-Catherine and Saint-Marcellin: quieter hamlets, ideal for a peaceful, authentic stay.

 

During the season, regular shuttle buses connect all four villages, making it easy to explore every facet of Vars.

Our accomodation Vars

In the heart of Vars Les Claux, the perfect spot for your family holiday

Ideally located at the foot of the slopes, SOWELL Family Vars welcomes you in a warm and friendly atmosphere designed for both children and adults. Opened in 2025, this 96-room property combines modern comfort, mountain spirit, and family-oriented services for winter or summer stays filled with unforgettable shared moments.

Our bright, well-designed rooms and suites can accommodate up to 4 guests and include facilities to make family life easier: flexible layouts, practical storage, and quality bedding. The chalet-inspired décor blends wooden accents, soft colours, and cosy touches, creating a peaceful cocoon after a day of mountain adventures.

Good to know Good to know for Vars

Sowell welcomes you to Vars les Claux in a private complex of two establishments facing the downhill ski slopes. This private domain offers shared facilities such as a spa, bar, all-inclusive package and restaurants.

So which establishment should you choose?

  • SOWELL Family Vars: 96 rooms – double, triple and quadruple. Services tailored to families with the SOWELL Family range and large quadruple rooms from 28 to 35m².
  • SOWELL HOTELS L’Alpe Blanche: 44 rooms – double, triple and quadruple. Authentic mountain decor in light tones with SOWELL HOTELS service standards.

Feel free to discover our two establishments.

Our catering offer

A holiday in Vars filled with good food and conviviality

With our So’Inclusive package, your family days will be filled with moments of sharing, without any constraints or surprise extras. Ideal for families with children, this all-inclusive package allows you to enjoy your holiday to the full, in winter or summer, while keeping control of your budget.

In the morning, start the day with a full breakfast: pastries, a variety of breads, cereals, fruit juices, hot drinks and savoury options for those with a hearty appetite. For your mountain excursions, put together your own packed lunch, perfect for a family picnic by the lake or on the slopes.

In the middle of the afternoon, treat young and old alike to a gourmet snack: pancakes, cakes or fresh fruit, depending on the chef’s inspiration. In the evening, gather around a varied buffet dinner featuring dishes suitable for children.

Throughout the day, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., enjoy complimentary soft drinks and alcoholic beverages to accompany your meals or moments of relaxation. Children will enjoy juices and syrups, while adults can savour a glass of wine, a cold beer or an aperitif.

Leisure and services on site

The perfect starting point for your family adventures in Vars

At SOWELL Family Vars, the first slopes are just a few steps away, allowing parents and children to quickly reach the lifts and enjoy the snow to the fullest. With our secure ski storage located right inside the hotel, the whole family can put on their gear on site and set off together to explore the 185 km of the Vars – Forêt Blanche ski area.

To make your stay even easier, we work with a ski rental partner just a stone’s throw from the hotel, offering special rates on equipment hire. Book your skis, snowboards or children’s gear at the same time as your stay and save precious time on arrival.

After a busy day, enjoy family relaxation time:

  • Spa Eliospa with treatment rooms and massages upon reservation
  • Secure ski storage for a hassle-free holiday

In winter, experience the thrill of being at the heart of the action. In summer, enjoy a peaceful setting where you can alternate hiking, swimming and unwinding.

Whatever the season, SOWELL Family Vars promises a comfortable stay where both children and adults return home with wonderful memories.
