Great skiing resort. Super friendly ski instructors. Tracks are well maintained.
Although no longer linked to Risoul, Vars has invested in four new 6 seater chair lifts and introduced some new runs. Been coming here off and on for around 20 years and will definitely be back. With regards the runs it’s mostly blues and reds but I’ve always found the snow well groomed and looked after A wee update on this, we were back again this year and the link to Risoul has been re-established 🤗
Amazing slopes, mountain views, endless ski slopes with varying degrees of difficulty, but experienced skiers will not be bored. A perfect place to start your freeride adventure. Moreover, the ski slopes crossing the mysterious and diverse white forest make you feel like you are in a fairy tale. Very tasty food in all restaurants on the slope, good prices in relation to the quality and polite, committed service of the ski resort both in Vars and Risoul. I will be back!
An absolutely massive ski resort. You'll need more than a week's worth of skiing to visit all the beautiful slopes here. Everything is there, from easy slopes to train on to hard slopes to prove your skill. The pricing is also very reasonable for this massive area. Must visit!
Very good, nice views
Big bowl, excellent for a weekend, not sure you can spend a week here if you are an experienced skier unless there is lots of snow so you can explore the many options for off piste. Piste conditions were excellent, the 'pisteurs' do an excellent job overnight.
Really nice skiresort for intermediate skiers but the skilifts are old
Beautiful ski resort with highest peak on 2750m. It has arond 180km of slopes. Start is possible from any of two villages: Vars and Risoul. There are enough fun activities, like snow parks, adrenalin rides, off-road possibilities. There is no need to write about views from the slopes. Definitely worth visiting.

Superb week of private lessons with Claire. She is super kind, energetic and patient teacher. My objective was to ski on the Blue slopes and I finished the week with Claire sking on Red. She challenged me and pushed me out of my comfort zone in order to progress. Couldn’t recommend her more 😊
(Translated by Google) Very nice experience with Jacques R. as an instructor in Vars in January 2025, I progressed a lot technically, in good humor and pedagogy. He pushed us to improve and step out of our comfort zones, but safely every time. Glad he showed us the whole area. (Original) Très chouette expérience avec Jacques R. comme moniteur à Vars en janvier 2025, j'ai beaucoup progressé techniquement, dans la bonne humeur et la pédagogie. Il nous a poussé à nous améliorer et à sortir de nos zones de confort, mais dans la sécurité à chaque fois. Content qu'il nous ait fait découvrir tout le domaine.
(Translated by Google) A huge thank you to our instructor Stéphane for this week. Very patient, educational and so kind! At 32 years old without ever having been on skis in my life, I not only managed to do beginner descents alone but above all regained confidence in myself! Ourson level also reached for my 8 year old little boy for whom it was a great first! We chose private lessons, the best for great development. I highly recommend! (Original) Un immense merci à notre moniteur Stéphane pour cette semaine . Très patient, pédagogue et tellement gentil ! A 32 ans sans jamais être monté sur des skis de ma vie j'ai non seulement réussi à faire des descentes débutant seule mais surtout repris confiance en moi ! Niveau Ourson atteint également pour mon petit garçon de 8 ans pour qui c'était une grande première ! Nous avons fait le choix de cours particulier, le top pour une belle évolution. Je recommande vivement !
(Translated by Google) Great esf in Vars! The instructors are very involved, very friendly! Big Up for Martial who took the gold stars to great places and who was very technical! My daughter will try for the gold star again next year! And thank you to Loïc for making the little snowflakes love skiing! (Original) Super esf à vars! Les moniteurs sont très investis, très sympas! Big Up pour Martial qui a emmené les étoiles d’or dans des supers endroits et qui était très pointu sur la technique! Ma fille retentera l étoile de or l année prochaine! Et merci à Loïc d avoir fait aimer le ski aux petits flocons!
(Translated by Google) Nothing to complain about my children's teachers who were very educational, competent and pleasant. A big thank you for the progress of the children. On the other hand, big problem with the people who take lesson reservations at the ESF reception. I take a 2-hour snowboard lesson for my son and explain that the objective is for him to learn to ride the chairlifts even though he has already snowboarded. I realized at the start of the course that I was sold a pass with a single lift for €16 and I had to go get a new pass for €44. When I came to ask for a refund of the 16€ package, they explained to me that as the lift on the package was used up so that my son could go up and do his lesson, it was impossible to reimburse me. They explained to me that I should have come and returned the package and gotten another package. By wasting 20 minutes of class, at the price of the hour of class, it's insane. It would be good to have staff who listen and ask the right questions to understand exactly what people need. In any case, the ESF should perhaps focus on selling courses rather than selling packages. I can only advise you not to take your ski passes at the ESF but at the station where they know what they are doing. At the same time, I was able to notice the haughty way in which the other person at reception responded to a dad who asked for the sticker that he had not been able to collect for the validation of his daughter's course. Was it useful to say "we wouldn't be a school if we gave lessons to just anyone" when in this case the girl had indeed had her lesson. (Original) Rien à redire contre les professeurs de mes enfants qui étaient très pédagogues, compétents et agréables. Un grand merci pour la progression des enfants. En revanche, gros souci avec les personnes qui prennent les réservations de cours à l'accueil de l'ESF. Je prends un cours de 2h de snowboard pour mon fils et explique que l'objectif et qu'il apprenne à prendre les télésièges alors qu'il s'ait déjà faire du snowboard. Je m'aperçois au départ du cours qu'on m'a vendu un forfait avec une seule remontée à 16 € et j'ai dû aller prendre un nouveau forfait à 44 €. Quand je viens demander le remboursement du forfait à 16€, on m'explique que comme la remontée qui est sur le forfait a été consommé pour que mon fils puisse monter et faire son cours, impossible de me rembourser. On m'explique que j'aurais dû venir rendre le forfait et aller chercher un autre forfait. Ce faisant perdre 20 minutes de cours, au prix de l'heure de cours c'est insensé. Il serait bon d'avoir du personnel qui écoute et pose les bonnes questions pour comprendre exactement ce dont les gens ont besoin. En tout cas, l'ESF devrait peut-être se concentrer sur la vente de cours plutôt que sur la vente de forfait. Je ne peux que vous conseiller de ne pas prendre vos forfaits à l'ESF mais à la station où ils savent ce qu'ils font. J'ai pu constater au même moment la manière hautaine dont l'autre personne à l'accueil a répondu à un papa qui demandait l'autocollant qu'il n'avait pas pu récupérer pour la validation du cours de sa fille. Était-il utile de dire "on serait pas une école si on donnait les cours à n'importe qui" alors que alors qu'en l'occurrence la fille avait bien eu son cours.
(Translated by Google) A weekend in January. We called 15 days before to obtain information regarding a private lesson for 2 3 year old children. We are told no need to book there are not many people. When the weekend arrives, I go ahead to book and then they tell me that it's going to be complicated and there aren't many people available. So I clarify my previous call, I am answered in a haughty tone "things change in 15 days". So no choice of time or instructor. During the course, the instructor explains to us that 2 children aged 3, beginners, is complicated to manage and that the secretaries should have made this clear to us. On this account we would have taken 2 private lessons. Concerning my adult course, an instructor who taught me nothing for 1 hour, waste of time and money. Conclusion, incompetent secretaries, a child who cried for an hour because we couldn't have the choice of having a wife. Very disappointed. (Original) Un Week-end en janvier. Nous avons téléphoné 15 jours avant pour avoir des renseignements concernant un cours particulier pour 2 enfants de 3 ans. On nous dit pas besoin de réserver il y a pas grand monde. Arrive le week-end dit, je m'avancer pour réserver et la, on me dit que ça va être compliqué qu'il y a pas beaucoup dispos. Je précise donc mon appel précédent, on me répond sur un ton hautain "les choses changent en 15 jours". Donc pas le choix de l'heure ni d'un ou d'une monitrice. Lors du cours, le moniteur nous explique que 2 enfants de 3 ans, débutante c'est compliqué à gérer et que les secrétaires auraient dû nous le preciser. A ce compte la nous aurions prit 2 cours particuliers. Concernant mon cours d'adulte, un moniteur qui ne m'as rien apprit pendant 1h, perte de temps et d'argent. Conclusion, des secrétaires incompétentes, une enfants qui a pleuré pendant 1h parce que nous avons pas pu avoir le choix d'avoir une femme. Très déçu.
(Translated by Google) Great week of level 2 adult ski lessons with Jacques, who listens very well and knows how to give us confidence to progress. Hoping to find him again in adult classes. See how to adapt the level 3 course because there is a very big difference between level 2 and 3. Great week in the east to repeat. (Original) Super semaine de cours en ski adulte niveau 2 avec Jacques, qui est très à l'écoute et sait nous mettre en confiance pour progresser. En espérant le retrouver de nouveau en cours adulte. Voir a adapter le cours niveau 3 car une très grosse différence entre le niveau 2 et 3. Super semaine à l'est à renouveler.
(Translated by Google) 5th year that we come to Vars and that we go through the esf... Depending on the instructors it is more or less good but this year we are very disappointed... Instructor who announces from the first day that he will finish 10 minutes in advance because he has a private lesson at 12 p.m. 😩and today he rushed the medal ceremony so much that they finished 20 minutes in advance which is still 1h10 fewer lessons over 6 days!!! Our son got his medal but out of the 6 only 3 got it. The instructor boasted on the first day that he only gave it 8 out of 12 last week....So either this instructor is too demanding or he doesn't know how to help his students progress!!!! Our son is disappointed with his week and his medal result based on his performances and so are we! Total absence of kindness and pedagogy... Telling the children that they are not at the level on the first day (maybe that's why they are enrolled in the course to progress, right?) telling another instructor that no one is at the level in their course, telling them that the most important thing to get the medal is the sculling and not the time during the competition... The children are there for the holidays and the fun... it seems to me that a minimum encouragement and education would be welcome! In addition, it is impossible to reach you by telephone before our arrival so the best thing is not to have any questions! We were told that everything is done online now, thank you customer service, on the other hand, to offer private lessons you are very strong... if your child is a little limited in obtaining the medal... the solution is private lessons to believe that group lessons are only there to see the level of the children and not really to help them progress! Esf Vars Business!!!! The Rider team will do without our children!!! We'll look elsewhere!!! (Original) 5 ieme année que nous venons à Vars et que nous passons par l'esf ... En fonction des moniteurs c'est plus ou moins bien mais cette année nous sommes très déçus ... Moniteur qui annonce dès le premier jour qu'il finira 10 minutes à l'avance car il a un cours particuliers à 12h 😩et aujourd'hui il a tellement expédié la remise des médailles qu'ils ont fini 20 minutes à l'avance ce qui fait quand même 1h10 de cours en moins sur 6 jours !!! Notre fils a eu sa médaille mais sur les 6 ils n'ont été que 3 à l'obtenir. Le moniteur s'est vanté le premier jour ne l'avoir donné qu'à 8 sur 12 la semaine dernière....Alors soit ce moniteur est trop exigeant soit il ne sait pas faire progresser ses élèves!!!! Notre fils est déçu de sa semaine et de son résultat de médaille au vu de des performances et nous aussi ! Absence totale de bienveillance et de pédagogie ... Dire aux enfants qu'ils n'ont pas le niveau lors de la première journée (c'est peut être pour ça qu'ils sont inscrits en cours pour progresser non ?) dire à un autre moniteur qu'aucun n'est au niveau dans son cours, leur dire que le plus important pour obtenir la médaille c'est la godille et pas le temps lors de la compétition ... Les enfants sont là pour les vacances et le plaisir ... il me semble qu'un minimum d'encouragement et de pédagogie serait le bienvenu ! En plus, impossible de vous joindre au téléphone avant notre arrivée donc le mieux c'est de ne pas avoir de questions ! On nous a expliqué que tout se fait en ligne maintenant merci le service client par contre pour proposer des cours particuliers vous êtes très forts ...si votre enfant est un peu limite pour obtenir la médaille ... la solution le cours particuliers à croire que les cours collectifs ne sont là que pour constater le niveau des enfants et pas vraiment pour les faire progresser ! Esf Vars Business !!!! La team Rider se passera de nos enfants !!! On ira voir ailleurs !!!

Don't even bother looking for another snowboard school if you're in the Vars/Risoul area. I had four lessons with Lucie and if she can teach me, a lifelong skier, to snowboard, she can teach anyone. I'm a beginner, but I spoke to one of their advanced students (freestyle) who has been coming back to Pure Snowschool for the last few years, and also loved them. If your French is a little rusty, as mine is, you're in good hands as they speak fluent English (among other languages). I really can't praise Lucie highly enough. She's converted me to snowboarding, and I'd had several failed attempts to learn previously. Should have come here first.
(Translated by Google) At the top!!!!! Super nice and educational Listening to both Lucie and Benjamin You want to learn snowboarding, no hesitation, go see them, you won't be disappointed... they are REAL snowboard teachers (Original) Au top !!!!! Super gentil et pédagogue À l’écoute autant Lucie que Benjamin Vous voulez apprendre le snow, aucune hésitation , allez les voir, vous ne serez pas déçu… ce sont de VÉRITABLES prof de snow
(Translated by Google) I recommend this school. Superb snowboard school. Very attentive instructor, patient and very educational. I recommend individual lessons instead of group lessons with the ESF if you want to progress quickly. Thank you Benjamin Sandrine (Original) Je recommande cette école. Superbe ecole de snowboard. Moniteur très à l écoute, patient et très pédagogue. Je recommande cours individuels au lieu des cours collectifs avec l ESF si vous voulez progresser rapidement. Merci Benjamin Sandrine
(Translated by Google) I have been taking lessons with Lucie and her team for several years. They are great teachers full of excellent advice on technique and very serious about safety. Freeride, freestyle, splitboard, bordercross, beginners, advanced, everything is possible! Thanks again for the split outings last winter, I discovered a new passion! See you at the end of December! (Original) Cela fait plusieurs années que je prends des cours avec Lucie et son équipe. Ce sont de supers profs pleins d'excellents conseils sur la technique et très sérieux sur la sécurité. Freeride, freestyle, splitboard, bordercross, débutants, confirmés, tout est possible ! Merci encore pour les sorties split l'hiver dernier, je me suis découvert une nouvelle passion ! RDV fin décembre!
(Translated by Google) We love it! A warm and professional team! Every year, we entrust our children to Lucie and her team for their snow learning. My son, my daughter and my nephews were able to benefit from their kindness and technical skills. It's really a great team that knows how to work seriously and simply whatever the level. To give an objective opinion, I asked my 8 year old daughter what she thinks of Lucie and the snowboard lessons she has been taking with her for 3 years. She replies “I love it”. (Original) On adore! Une équipe chaleureuse et professionnelle ! Chaque année, nous confions nos enfants à Lucie et son équipe pour leur apprentissage en snow. Mon fils, ma fille et mes neveux ont pu profiter de leurs gentillesses et technicités. C'est vraiment une super team qui sait travailler avec sérieux et simplicité quelquesoit le niveau. Pour donner un avis objectif, j'ai demandé à ma fille de 8 ans ce qu'elle pense de Lucie et des cours de snow qu'elle prend depuis 3 ans avec elle. Elle me répond " je l'adore".
(Translated by Google) Very professional school....Lucie offered us a superb snowboard hike at the top in complete safety and in a good atmosphere. Lots of good advice, I highly recommend Pure Snowschool. (Original) École très professionnel....Lucie nous a proposé un superbe rando snowboard au top en toute sécurité et dans la bonne ambiance. Beaucoup de bon conseils , je recommande vivement pure snowschool.
(Translated by Google) I took snowboard lessons with Lucie, she is very attentive, patient, kind, and makes sure we have fun, I didn't know how to snowboard but with Lucie I was able to have a lot of fun. I recommend (Original) J’ai pris des cours de snow avec Lucie, elle est très à l’écoute, patiente, gentille, et fait en sorte qu’on s’amuse, je ne savais pas faire de snow mais avec Lucie j’ai pu prendre énormément de plaisir. Je recommande
(Translated by Google) Great team that knows how to adapt to everyone's level. The approach is very educational and focused on the pleasure of skiing. Many thanks to Lucas for having the patience to correct many of my faults (I still have many!). If I come back to Vars, I will take classes again with pleasure. I recommend this school without hesitation which is also the only one to offer introductory snowboarding lessons for children aged 3 and over. (Original) Super équipe qui sait s'adapter au niveau de chacun. L'approche est très pédagogue et axée sur le plaisir de la glisse. Un grand merci à Lucas d'avoir eu la patience de corriger un grand nombre de mes défauts (j'en ai encore beaucoup!). Si je reviens a Vars, je reprendrai des cours avec plaisir. Je recommande cette école sans hésitation qui est par ailleurs la seule à proposer des cours d'initiation au snowboard pour les enfants à partir de 3 ans
