Hidden in the Southern French Alps, Risoul is a compact, uncrowded, sunny gem of a ski holiday resort. With a good snow record and excellent ski school, you’ll enjoy the wide & varied terrain from the handy nursery slopes to the numerous black runs burning down the mountainside into neighbouring Vars. These two resorts are linked by a shared ski area and constantly updated lift system. Also with a large terrain park and fabulous off piste opportunities throughout your ski holiday, Risoul has something to offer all levels of skier and boarder.

Off the slopes the resort is made up of purpose built blocks and chalet style buildings all offering easy access to the lifts. There are shops, bars and restaurants offering a relaxed and informal atmosphere which continues well into the evening for any keen night time revellers. The slightly longer transfer is worth it for the lack of lift queues and friendly local atmosphere.
