About Risoul

Risoul is a high-altitude purpose-built resort in the southern French Alps that, combined with neighbouring Vars, forms the Forêt Blanche — 185km of piste at elevations between 1,650m and 2,750m that almost guarantee snow from Christmas through April. The southern Alpine location brings more sunshine than the northern Alps while the altitude preserves snow quality, and the resort's relative obscurity among international visitors means lift queues are short and prices remain well below comparable northern French resorts. For families seeking reliable snow, good sun, and genuine value in France, Risoul consistently delivers.
