Risoul Reviews

Nice resort, but very poorly managed both in terms of ski lifts and après-ski activities.

• Jolie station
• The lifts close 10 minutes early. It's shameful. Many people complained and were left inconvenienced trying to reach their children, friends, or the connection to Vars.

• A very beautiful estate with lovely facilities
• More snow

I recommend this varied terrain for all types of skiers of all levels.

• Top-notch ski area with slopes for all levels, incredible off-piste terrain
• no drawbacks

A family-friendly resort that I've watched grow up. Plenty of activities for all ages, a fabulous ski area for all levels, and a pleasant shopping street. I'm absolutely in love with this resort, despite the relatively high lift pass prices, but there's plenty to enjoy on the slopes.

• Family-friendly, lively resort
• Places de parking

This resort is a real treat.

• great estate at a still affordable price
• There aren't any

A week in Risoul with the family (with two children aged 6 and 10) has just ended. This was our second year in this resort with its large ski area, perfectly suited to beginners and intermediates (we're not experts...). The atmosphere is friendly. The village is pleasant, with plenty of shops and après-ski activities: tobogganing, mini-bowling, ice skating, etc., although all of this comes at a price. The ski lifts are quite expensive, but that's also proportional to the size of the ski area, which is immense thanks to its connection with Vars. The "White Forest" lives up to its name; the scenery is magnificent, with breathtaking views from the ridges and slopes. We'll definitely be back! ;-)

• Large estate
• Expensive parking

Long queues for the lifts, and we only encountered fresh snow on the last day of our five-day skiing trip, due to the compacted snow and translucent rocks. The lifts are quite modern, but some, especially the smaller ones, are very slow. The well-connected Vars resort saves the day. Although in Vars, some slopes were closed due to lack of snow (early February). The snow park is very nice, and the snow park at Vars is the best I've ever been to. The only downside was that the lift leading to the park is a very long T-bar. The resort is good for beginners, but there are also many slopes, such as red ones, that are very steep.

• Selection of slopes, good connection with Vars, hotel on the slope, snow park, infrastructure
• No snow, some lifts old and slow,

A pleasant family resort for all levels of skiing

• The ski area
• Resort entertainment after a day of skiing

The resort is a family-friendly resort perfect for beginners/intermediate skiers.

• Large area and large resort
• Many trails along ridges to get from one area to the other

Great resort with excellent slopes and a welcoming village

• Great estate
• The chairlift is a bit old compared to Vars.
