Vars includes several small, old villages on or near the approach road, chief among them Vars-Ste-Marie. There are lifts on the fringe of this village, but the focus for most visitors is higher, purpose-built Vars-les-Claux.
Pros
Attractive, family-friendly resorts
Reasonably snow-sure and with lots of treelined runs
Among the cheapest resorts in the French Alps
Cons
Still mainly draglifts and slow old chairs, though a few fast ones
Few on-piste challenges for experts
Little to do off the slopes
