Le Barjo, Mountain restaurant in Vars, France
Le Barjo is a restaurant at 2100 meters elevation in the Vars ski area with indoor dining and a south-facing terrace. It provides around 410 indoor seats and 250 outdoor tables with mountain views.
The restaurant began as an important stop for skiers and mountaineers during the growth of winter sports in the Hautes-Alpes region. It became a central gathering place in this mountain area.
The restaurant serves regional mountain dishes like raclette and fondue, especially during special evening events that bring local food traditions to the slopes.
The restaurant is open daily from 9 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon, especially between January and April. On days with bad weather, you should plan flexibly and prepare for outdoor seating to be less appealing.
Special evening events offer guests the chance to arrive by snow groomer to reach the restaurant. This creates an unusual mountain dining experience that is not available during regular visits.
