Risoul

Music to every skier’s ears

For every young winter sports enthusiast, the name Risoul rings a bell – and usually sounds like music to their ears. This lively village combines great value for money with a fun, welcoming atmosphere, offering plenty of bars, restaurants and accommodation options for every budget. Here you can enjoy an affordable ski holiday and world-famous après-ski on the sunny terrace of the legendary La Grotte du Yeti, partying until the early hours just steps from your accommodation.

Everything within walking distance

The resort is divided into two main areas, each with its own character. In Risoul-Centre, the larger of the two, you can stroll, shop and soak up the atmosphere. For lively après-ski and dancing late into the night, head to the higher district of Risoul 1850, where most of our accommodations are located. Everything is within easy walking distance – the slopes, the shops and the nightlife – making Risoul a compact and vibrant destination.

Soak up the Southern Alps sun

Thanks to its location in the Southern Alps, Risoul enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine each year. Bad weather and poor visibility are rare. In April, it’s often warm enough to relax in a T-shirt on one of the many slope-side terraces with a refreshing drink in hand. A resort where sunshine, snow and good vibes go perfectly together.

La Forêt Blanche

Snow guaranteed

Thanks to its ideal location and excellent snow record, La Forêt Blanche – the ski area connecting Risoul and Vars – offers guaranteed snow from mid-December to the end of April. Set in the Southern Alps, it combines abundant snow with more than 300 days of sunshine each year – a unique balance that makes it a favourite among winter sports enthusiasts.

Easy connections

La Forêt Blanche seamlessly links the resorts of Risoul and Vars. With over 185 kilometres of slopes, the area provides endless opportunities for skiers and snowboarders alike. After just a few runs you’ll quickly get the hang of moving from one mountain side to the other. Just remember to check the lift closing times before heading back from Vars to Risoul to ensure a smooth return.

One of the world’s largest snowparks

Thrill-seekers and freestyle fans are in for a treat: Vars is home to one of the largest snowparks in the world. Stretching from the mountain summit all the way down to the valley, it features jumps, rails and obstacles for every skill level. Beginners can take advantage of a dedicated learning zone where they can safely build confidence under the watchful eye of experienced instructors. Pure adrenaline and fun guaranteed!

Party & high flyers @Risoul – the après-ski capital with Europe’s largest snowpark

Risoul has everything you need for not just a legendary trip, but one filled with sunshine, fun and mountain energy. Here, good vibes, snow and sun come together for a non-stop winter experience from morning until late at night.

Exceptional ski area and facilities

On the slopes, off the slopes or high above them — every winter sports enthusiast will find their thrill here. A wide variety of runs for all levels, Europe’s largest snowpark for freestylers and endless powder between pine forests. Variety and adventure guaranteed every single day.

The best après-ski in the Southern Alps

Famous and notorious for its legendary après-ski on the terrace of the mythical La Grotte du Yeti. With the sun on your face, international DJs setting the beat and drinks at some of the lowest prices in the French Alps, this is pure enjoyment. Don’t be surprised if you’re still dancing at midnight — ski or snow boots still on your feet.

Stay in a hostel or apartment

Discover Yoonly & Friends, a unique mountain concept in Risoul where you can enjoy hotel-style comfort at a budget-friendly price. Choose between shared apartments with a private kitchen or hostel rooms with communal living spaces and shared kitchens. Each room or apartment has its own private bathroom and toilet. But don’t expect to stay indoors for long — the entire ground floor is one big playground with a bar, restaurant (also take-away), gaming room, party area, chill-out zones and much more.

In short: in Risoul, the glass is always half full and the sun shines for more than 300 days a year. But don’t be fooled — sunshine doesn’t mean poor snow. Thanks to its location, snow conditions and reliability here are truly exceptional.

Let’s keep winter white

Protect Our Winters (POW!) is an international organization committed to preserving mountain regions and winter sport destinations. Due to climate change, snow-reliable areas are becoming increasingly rare – putting your favourite winter activities at risk.
