Domaine de la Foret Blanche ski area

The two resorts of Risoul and Vars combine together to create the largest ski area in the Southern French Alps, offering its visitor about 180kms of un-crowded, well groomed pistes. The excellent range of skiing is mainly suitable for beginners and intermediate skiers alike, although advanced skiers will enjoy the challenge of the mogul filled black runs leading down to Vars and the numerous off-piste opportunities through the densely wooded areas descending into Risoul. The resorts themselves sit at an altitude of 1850m with skiing extending up to the higher realms of 2750m. The snow record is good and the sunshine hours are virtually unrivalled throughout the Alps.
