Risoul
The White Forest
Risoul, linked to Vars by the Forêt blanche ski area, is an XXL playground where tapered carving, freeride sessions and a sunny atmosphere meet, all in the heart of unspoilt nature. Here, altitude rhymes with adrenalin… and authenticity…
Risoul,
energy in all seasons
In Risoul, the mountains are experienced differently. In summer, toboggans race down the slopes, offering shared thrills and laughter. For cyclists, the climb up to Risoul has become a classic: 14 kilometers of effort, 1,000 meters of ascent, and a finish at the summit already enshrined in Tour de France legend.
The White Forest,
the strength of the bond
Linking Vars and Risoul, La Forêt Blanche lives up to its name: a sea of fir trees where the slopes wind their way through, offering panoramic views stretching as far as the Écrins. It’s this unique link between two resorts that is its strength: two atmospheres, two characters, but a single promise: that of escape.
Serre de l’Homme
The track
It’s the kind of white ribbon that commands respect from the very first turn. It rises like a natural ramp, designed for sharp skiers who like to feel their thighs burn and their stopwatch race. Wide but never complacent, it alternates steep walls and deceptive flats, forcing you to relaunch again and again. A demanding descent, both brutal and sumptuous, where every mistake is paid for in cash, and where exhilaration comes at the price of daring.
