Find Ski Chalets and Luxury Chalets in Risoul
So what's Risoul like?
The ski resort of Risoul partners with its neighbour Vars to form the Forêt Blanche ski domain, located between the Queyras and Écrins national parks. Risoul's tree-lined lower slopes are ideal for family holidays and the ski school has a capacity for 60 children. The area is famed for its southern sunshine with 300 days of sun per year. The resort was an early adopter of snowboarding and the Surfland snowpark now has rails for both beginner and advanced. The resort believes the concept of black, red and blue run gradings is outdated and is moving to a series of themed areas such as the freeride zone.
Risoul is accessible from Turin airport in Italy but it is also possible to transfer from Grenoble, Chambéry or Marseille airports, all around 3 hours from the resort. Apres-ski life is vibrant with a range of cafes, bars and clubs in the town centre. There are ice-skating facilities at both Risoul and Vars, snow-shoe walks, skidoo rides and the resort also has a cinema. [more from Wikipedia]
