Since the early 1990s, Vars has been the temple of speed on snow. Whether on skis, bike, snowboard or snowscoot, world records have followed one another for almost 30 years on the Chabrières piste. The world’s fastest skiers are now competing at speeds of over 250 km/h on the Vars ski area.
Speed Masters: World Championship and world record attempt / World Cup resumption
From March 17 to 30, 2025, Vars becomes the world epicenter of speed skiing with the Speed Masters and the resumption of the World Cup events, which bring together the elite skiers in a quest to surpass themselves and set new records. On the legendary Chabrières piste, famous for its vertiginous 98% gradient, participants will attempt to beat the current world record of 255.50 km/h. The fast-paced fortnight of KL will also be marked by the resumption stages of the World Cup, an FIS event, as well as the French Championships. Come and cheer on the athletes who push the limits of what’s possible!
