The Skiers' Guide to Risoul: Expert Analysis & Reviews

I had a really good time but wouldve liked better après. It is also well connected to Vars which has really nice runs as well

I was pleasantly surprised by Risoul - I expected the runs to be average because the ski pass was so cheap but they were amazing

A small resort connected to Vars (apart from very bad weather days), which means you get a huge domain to ski on with your ski pass and can easily spend a week trying to ski the whole resort without getting bored. Snow park wasnt great but I reckon going to Vars would be a good shout. Some goof off piste if you know where to go so definitely speak to the locals. Risoul is quite a French station so the majority of skiers are local/French, with some Italian and also Dutch students at times. But it means the station remains cute and quiet and v family friendly, although there is a lively apres scene. Risoul is noticeably cheaper than other resorts so is a great option for a cheaper week away!
