RISOUL | 1650 - 2750 m                            La Forêt Blanche
Situated in the midst of the Southern Alps, Risoul is one of the sunniest resorts in France. It also enjoys excellent snow conditions due to its high altitude. The skiable area of La Forêt Blanche connecting Vars and Risoul is the fourth-largest in France. The resort sits at the foot of the slopes and gains in popularity with each passing year due to its good value for money. The resort also features a well-known, quality snowpark.
