Risoul

Risoul is a fairly quiet resort, linked to Vars, situated in the Southern Alps. The pistes are usually fairly quiet so there are rarely queues for the lifts.

This winter ski resort is part of the Foret Blanche ski area which is a gateway to 108 pistes. Many of the pistes are above 2000 metres so skiing and snowboarding are assured throughout the season due to generally having good snow conditions. For beginners there are some long, green slopes ideal for those feeling a little shaky to begin with before progressing to the blue pistes. Intermediate skiers will love the Foret Blanche which has both open skiing and tree-skiing on offer. Experts have less choice of pistes and eight of the ten black piste on offer, it is necessary to head towards Vars. However to compensate there is some brilliant off-piste powder closer to Risoul.

The majority of buildings in the Risoul ski resort were built in 1970, although reinvestment since 2003 has resulted in a few wooden chalets springing up, improving the visual attractiveness of the resort. Overall though, at 1850m Risoul is perfect for ski-in ski-out and is great for mixed ability groups.
