About Risoul
Risoul is the wooded, family half of the Forêt Blanche, purpose-built at 1,850 m among larch forest and linked over the ridge with Vars.
It is compact, entirely ski-in ski-out, and priced well below the northern Alps. The tree cover is a genuine advantage on a bad-light day.

Is Risoul good for a family week?
A strong value pick. Built at 1,850 m among larch forest, it is compact and entirely ski-in ski-out, with learning slopes at the foot of the accommodation and the Vars half of the Forêt Blanche to grow into. The tree cover is a real advantage on a flat-light day.
