About Risoul-La Forêt Blanche

Located at the entrance to Queyras and the Guil valley, perched on the mountainside with panoramic views of Mont Pelvoux and the Massif des Ecrins, you'll find the picturesque ski resort of Risoul. This resort is enveloped by an expansive larch forest, which forms the "La Foret Blanche" ski area. Risoul is positioned at an altitude of 1850 meters, and its chalets and buildings, constructed from wood and stone, impart the impression of a timeless mountain village that has always graced the landscape. Risoul and Vars, sister resorts in the southeastern region of France, share an extensive network of larch forests that, in turn, are surrounded by a breathtaking ensemble of majestic mountain peaks.
