Remember that 60% of the Vars ski area can be covered with artificial snow. The resort has 3 hillside reservoirs with a total volume of 225,000 m3 : Chabrières, Peyrol and Peynier, which also serve as reserves in case of drought or fire. The water for these reserves comes mainly from the Chagne torrent and the Vallon des Prises. When the snow melts, it nourishes the soil and returns mainly to the torrent. Last winter, 600,000 m3 of artificial snow was produced for 295,000 m3 of water used (1m3 of water used for 2m3 of snow produced).
