Varric: Great, we’re in the Deep Roads. I feel myself getting dwarfier by the minute. Did I just sprout a beard?
Varric: (Sighs.) I hate caves.
Cassandra: Yes, yes. You hate the Deep Roads, and caves, and the outdoors.
Iron Bull: And slopes. Uneven ground. The dark. Pretty much all kinds of weather.
Blackwall: Also quiet. Most kinds of smells. Rain. Water in general.
Sera: And everything that isn’t hearing himself talk.
Cole: The smell of the sea. “Who made the ground vertical?” Mountains covered in the dead.
Dorian: Orlesian cafes. Taverns that are too tidy. Slopes of greater than ten degrees.
Vivienne: And Orlesians, Fereldans, Nevarrans, mages, Templars, the entire Merchants Guild, nugs.
Varric: Look, I have to complain, or you’ll forget I’m even here and trip over me! I’m providing a service.
Varric - Attention
Transcript:
Varric: If there's one thing I know, it's how to get an asshole's attention!

Dragon Age Inquisition
So I can’t be the only varric lover that has recently gone from “are they finally going to let me fuck that dwarf” to “oh they’re killing him” in the last few days and is feeling unreasonable levels of grief, right
Post-prologue scene. Varric was supposed to be in Harding's room.
Harding: It wasn't supposed to go this way. What do we do now? What do we do? Varric: One thing at a time, Harding. Harding: (Sighs) Varric: I let you down. I'm sorry. Varric: Talk to her. She could use a friend.

Nah cuz how dare varric STILL BE TALLER THAN ME EXCUSE THE FUCK
Here to ruin everyone's day with this because honestly I find it delightful and fits into the feral and desperate need I have for Thedas to be experiencing mega fauna and flora.
Update: Just to clarify, the only height that is canon is Bull's. I realize that the wording for some was not entirely clear enough on that. That's why I didn't tag this as lore.
Going from shortest to tallest we have this:
Varric - 5'3 (160.02cm) [Source]
Morrigan - 5'8 (172.72cm)*
Alistair - 6' (182.88cm) [Source]
Dorian - 6' - 6'2 (182.88-187.96cm)*
Solas - 6'5 (195.58cm) [Source]
The Iron Bull - 8' (243.84cm)*
Morrigan:
Morrigan's figure isn't listed anymore, but I grabbed a screenshot and with the help of a friend who has her statue, Morrigan is 5'8 sans heels.
Dorian:
When asked about Dorian's height, David Gaider specified that: "He is as tall as the character artists made him." [Source]
So, without giving bias, I put Dorian's height at a range due to the fact he is the ideal proportions at 8 heads tall which by modern industry standard means he's 6'2, but by earlier standards means he's 6'. Since we can't really tell which height the artist is going for, I put the range. But considering current standards I would say he's 6'2.
The Iron Bull:
In World of Thedas vol. 2 p. 255 they have the description that he is 8' tall.
Everyone in the Chargers is someone who can look at an eight-foot horned giant and say, 'Yes, I trust that man with my life.'
If you're wondering if that includes the horns? Up to you, its not specified. If you want to do sans horns, they math out to adding roughly 5" to his had according to his gaming heads model. Which would make him 7'5 (226.06cm).
