Risoul

Risoul is built in such a way that almost every  accommodation is right by the slopes. If not, they’re only a few metres walk away. This is so convenient in the afternoons: you can ski or snowboard right back to your apartment. Natural materials have been used extensively in the construction of accommodation here, giving the resort its characteristic cosy look.

 

Just like in the nearby Vars, there is plenty to do in Risoul. You will find several fantastic restaurants and bars to spend your evening in, and nightclubs where you can enjoy the lively après-ski scene.

Risoul

  • Accommodation directly by the slopes
  • Cosy and traditional ski resort
  • Vibrant après ski scene

La Fôret Blanche

In the Hautes Alpes, two ski resorts have combined together to form a ski area called La Forêt Blanche. If you like skiing in the trees this is the place for you!

Vars is the largest and most famous place of the two and consists of a combination of four small villages. Three of them are at an altitude of about 1650 meters. Risoul is a modern station and more suited to families.

Skiers can test their speed on the Kilomètre Lance, known as the fastest track in the world - see how fast you can go!

Surf Country, the largest snow park in Europe, with a fun park and a half pipe attracts snow-boarders and skiers alike and cross-country skiers find approximately 43 kilometers of trails.

To make it complete, there are various events held throughout the year so you will never get bored.

La Fôret Blanche

  • 180 kilometres of slopes
  • Area for beginner and advanced skiers
  • Plenty of non ski activities

Lift pass, lessons and ski/board hire

A La Forêt Blanche ski pass is included in the holiday price.

You can see the surcharges and discounts for extending your ski pass or no ski pass in step 1 (preferences) of the booking process. If a child or senior discount applies, this will be shown in step 2 (price overview). Would you like to know which ski pass is included in your travel time? Take a look at our FAQ .

Ski passes for children up to 4 years old are free. This discount can be found in the calculation of your travel sum. Identification is required when collecting the ski pass.

Any surcharges and discounts are only valid upon booking. Other rates are applied locally. It is not possible to redeem the ski pass on another day onsite. An extension of the ski pass can often be booked as an extra; you will find the price for this further into the booking steps. The discount for “no ski pass” can also be found in the booking process.

Children up to 11 years old can go tobogganing for free once with their ski pass!

The Risoul ski area in La Forêt Blanche will remain open longer this season: until April 13th, 2025.
