Vars Christmas holidays
Santa Claus has been known to come to town at winter in Vars, complete with his red present-laden sleigh. Don’t forget your camera: kids will want to document this once in a lifetime occasion as the King of Christmas poses for photo opportunities.
Children one and all are regularly invited down to the villages to try their hand at making Yuletide decorations, as confectioners provide hot chocolate for little ones, and mulled wine for the grown-ups.
What could be more Christmassy than skiing to the sound of festive jingles as the sun goes down with some night skiing on the quiet slopes? Concerts, firework displays and torchlight slope descents from the ESF are sure to get you in the holiday spirit.
Head back inside where the festivities continue, joining the residents of Vars and fellow holidaymakers for a Christmas dinner at one of the local hotel restaurants. If you like to make your own yuletide feast, chalet-style apartments provide the perfect accommodation with kitchen space to work your Christmas magic.
Our holidays with flights and transfers are the best around, but you can also pick a self-drive holiday for all the room you need to bring along Santa’s gifts and stockings to hang by the fireside. Book early to get the ski holiday on the top of your Christmas list.
