VARS - Skiing
Risoul Skiing has a wide diversity of terrain for all standards. The green runs around the base area provide some of the best novice terrain in France, while more confident skiers will find that that they can go far afield without ever being forced to stray from blue runs. Vars is also has its own ski area on Peynier on the far side of the town, but this is reached on skis from Vars-Les-Claux. The black Ecureil, which follows the fall-line down the wooded slopes from the top, is one of the most enjoyable in the region.
