The resort features a reception area with billiards table, an indoor swimming pool (free), a Turkish bath and a gym.

Vars is located in the Southern French Alps at an altitude of 1,600 metres. The municipality of Vars consists of four villages (Saint-Marcellin, Sainte-Marie, Sainte-Catherine and Les Claux). They're all really traditional mountain villages, with the exception of Les Claux.
Résidence Pra Sainte-Marie, in the village with the same name, is a great place for a relaxing winter holiday or an active summer holiday. In winter, there's a free shuttle bus to Les Claux (6km).
As a winter sports destination, this area is particularly suitable for families. Your resort is ideally located, at the foot of the Olympic piste and not far from the cable car. This will take you up to the Forêt Blanche skiing area, which consists of around 185km of pistes between Vars and Risoul. The nearest shops are only a 10-minute walk from your resort.
There are plenty of activities here in summer too, including many hiking and mountain bike routes. Vars is located in the sunny Southern Alps, making it very pleasant to sit out on a terrace and enjoy the views of the mountains.
Step into the warmth and comfort of Résidence Pra Sainte-Marie, where traditional alpine style meets modern convenience.

Whether you're traveling as a couple or a family, choose from a cozy studio for two, a spacious apartment for four, or a versatile two/three-room option for up to six guests.
Located in the heart of Vars Sainte-Marie in the stunning Southern Alps, you're just steps from lifts, hiking trails, and endless year-round outdoor fun. In winter, ski straight into the action. In summer, the mountain transforms into a playground for hiking, biking, and paragliding. Even better—pets are welcome! Bring your furry friend along for scenic alpine walks or join one of the many pet-friendly community hikes hosted in the region.
After a day of adventure, explore the nearby village for hearty Savoyard cuisine. Grab a cheesy tartiflette at a rustic chalet restaurant, or sip a warm drink on a sun-drenched terrace.
