When Winter brings the first snow, it’s a feeding frenzy for eager skiers and boarders to get to the most fun Southern Alps ski resorts. Young freestyle lovers or thrill-seekers, the snow awaits you at these winter sports resorts. Here are the Top 5 spots to let loose!

Vars: A High-Speed Resort

Famous for its Ultra-Fast Slope

Vars is one of the Southern Alps ski resorts with the biggest cult following. Thrill-seekers meet here to test their limits. The Chabrière slope is the fastest ski slope in the world with a record of 254.958 km/h held by Ivan Origone. We prefer to wait for you at the bottom of the slope at the timing cabin, which is open from Thursday to Sunday for speed tests. This season, there are many upcoming events like the Quiksilver Challenge on March 7th. Vars has a solid reputation, particularly due to its Snow Park that delights both young and old. Come and try the Girly Park, Kid Park and the Park des Écrins. For bike fans, there’s no need to rent skis. Have a go at a FatBike, a snow bike with oversized tyres!

    Les Orres: Naturally Stylish

    Brilliant Sunshine and Quality Skiing Always

    Peaking at a height of 2,720 metres, Les Orres resort is known for the quality of its snow and its dazzling sun in all seasons. The recipe for great skiing, with awesome powder from December and on. For the 2020 season, the Snow Park Les Orres has had a facelift and the Prévieux slope has become a fun area dedicated to rails and boxes! The resort commissioned the best, like Quentin Ladame and Xavier Marcou, to build these new facilities, ensuring a more fun and better-positioned freestyle terrain. Les Orres delights experienced skiers with its long descents, but it is also great for beginners too. With a preserved natural setting, slopes in the heart of larch forests, and an exceptional panorama, this is one of the prettiest Southern Alps ski resorts, too.
