Our ski pass let us go to both vars and Risoul which was amazing and meant there was lots of options, we went for a uni trip and the uni did events but otherwise apres wasn’t great the mountains were more of a chill drink vibe and food rather than proper party but was a place with great music off the mountain where everyone went after. The runs were reasonably easy and fun and very quiet was powder at start but slushy by end due to hot weather
