Vars fitness trailLearn while you walk? It’s possible thanks to our two new “interpretation” trails developed last summer and accessible to all, starting from the Télémix de Chabrières.
You’ll be able to read the landscape and understand what’s going on around you thanks to the various panels set up for this purpose.
You’ ll discover the flora and fauna, learn about the geology of the terrain you’re walking on, learn about the history of pastoralism in Vars, and find out about the creation of artificial snow. Learning will be your real ally in understanding your every step.
You’ll set off on easy walks to discover the treasures of the Varsinc territory, a veritable treasure chest of wild, unspoilt nature.
The trails can be accessed from the Chabrières Télémix, arriving at the snow front.
The trails can be accessed from the Télémix de Chabrières station and then on to the Col de Vars.
