The ski resort of Risoul is becoming increasingly popular and we are delighted to be offering our customers the opportunity to discover the charm of the Southern Alps. Along with the neighbouring resort of Vars, Risoul forms part of the ‘Domaine de la Foret Blanche’ – one of the largest ski areas in the Southern Alps with over 180 km of piste to enjoy and there is plenty here for all levels to enjoy. Risoul offers good value, great sunshine and a late season which is surprising for such a Southern resort.
The skiing here is very convenient thanks to the well linked lift system and you can ski between Risoul and Vars on a range of blues and greens meaning everyone can make the trip across. The views are stunning so it’s well worth taking the time to explore the whole area. All the slopes on the Risoul side return back to a central point in the village and with a selection of restaurants and cafes this is a great place to meet for lunch.
Beginners are well catered for here as there are lots of wide, nursery slopes that are perfect for practicing turns and building confidence. Progression is fast here so once they find their snow legs then beginners will quickly head up the mountain to enjoy the good choice of easy blues. Intermediates will find big cruisers, exciting runs through the trees and big snow bowls to keep them busy and for advanced skiers there are a variety of testing black runs. The most challenging slopes are found on the Vars side of the Crete des Chabrieres but there’s also plenty of off piste around Risoul.
Snowboarders will be happy here too with plenty of off piste and the fantastic Surfland Park under the De Cezier Chair. Here there is a Boardercross run as well as a mixture of jumps, rails and a big half-pipe.
Risoul is purpose-built but it is still an attractive village with a real French atmosphere. You’ll find everything you need here including shops, bars and cafes and because it’s compact you’ll never have far to walk. There is also a spa complex about 10 minutes walk away or if you fancy venturing further afield then the pretty resort town of Briancon is about a 45 minute journey away.
With sunshine, great snow and a long season we think Risoul is a fantastic choice of resort plus you will also enjoy staying in our brand new property the ClubHotel Le Morgan.
