Risoul

Risoul sits above the Durance valley in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, France, where larch woodland and high Alpine slopes rise from the Guillestrois. The commune combines the old settlement of Risoul with Risoul 1850, a purpose-built ski resort developed in the 1970s. Its lifts connect with neighbouring Vars in La Forêt Blanche, making winter sport central to local life, while summer brings walkers and cyclists onto mountain roads and paths. Below the resort, the Durance valley runs past Guillestre and into the broader Southern Alps. Risoul’s setting has the dry, sunlit character typical of this part of the French Alps.
