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!

Great place to get started, loads of slopes and the ski school got me skiing in half a day by lunch time

First time to a purpose built resort, skiing was good helped by a fresh dump of snow as we arrived for an early Easter ski week in 2024. Accommodation was basic and restaurant options were limited and really felt all the seasons workers were fed up and couldn't really be that bothered The appres ski was also limited to a few bars mostly frequented by much younger people who seem to be trying too hard to have a good time at the end of the season. Skiing was okay but don't expect anything amazing but at least the holiday was cheap. Three stars overall .
