Vars was such a beautiful resort and such great value. We had a very basic but brilliant apartment right on the slopes with a heated outdoor pool, it was perfect for what we needed. The slopes were so quiet and we often found we were the only people on certain runs and we never queue for a lift. There was also a huge variety of runs and we barely touched the surface. The town was small but perfect with a great range of lovely restaurants and a couple of bars for after. We will definately be back to what we thought was a very speak place.
