Great skiing area, bigger than looks on the map with extensive safe off piste, in between pistes, around Clos Chardon and l'Homme de Pierre, and in trees everywhere down to the resort. The lifts are not all modern and the link to Vars is a bit of a complicated affair, but better when you come back. The ski on the Vars side is good too. Risoul snow front is good and practical with lifts going in all directions. No queues this weekend in January but that wasn't during school holidays. The resort is quite souless being mainly blocks of flat, and the restaurant scene is very low standard. Possibly the worst I have experienced in a ski resort. Limited number of restaurants, Booking is imperative. Food is uninspiring and stodgy. But Risoul is not a high-standard resort. At the same time, the skilifts passes are quite expensive. I'd suggest to go there for the great ski only, rent a place for four days and cook your fine food yourself!
