Sowell Family Vars
Perched directly on the blue runs of Vars Les Claux, Sowell Family Vars offers an effortless transition from the boot room to the vast Forêt Blanche ski area. This slopeside retreat captures a genuine alpine atmosphere, pairing traditional timber accents with a soft, contemporary palette to create a restful sanctuary for families. The design prioritises comfort, ensuring that returning from the 185km of pisted terrain feels like a true homecoming.
The all-inclusive experience simplifies mountain life, covering everything from expansive breakfast spreads to varied evening buffets that cater to every palate. Guests can explore the local peaks with a prepared lunch in hand and return for afternoon snacks before the main service. For a quintessential Hautes-Alpes evening, the onsite restaurant serves classic French fondues at a preferential rate. Relaxation is central to the stay; the Eliospa provides a tranquil environment for restorative treatments, while the bar remains open throughout the day for inclusive refreshments, perfect for reflecting on the day’s progress across the sunny, larch-covered slopes.
