The French resort of Risoul is one of the newest resorts in the Alps. Well maintained with a great buzz, Risoul is the perfect place for families and mixed-ability groups looking for an affordable holiday that does not compromise on experience. The pistes remain relatively quiet throughout the season and there is a great variety of wide, sunny slopes to steep descents through the treeline.
In the evenings, there is a good variety of restaurants, bars, and shops to choose from, as well as a cinema, ice rink and bowling alley. These remain lively all day as skiers and snowboarders stop off for a break, and they continue to be the centre of activity after the lifts close and into the evening.
