Risoul-Vars is our new kid on the block, and WOW it has earned its place quickly. A very popular resort with the French, it's easy to see why, from the hills of off-piste and never-ending sunshine. The ski area, Forêt Blanche (White Forest), gives away the big attraction of skiing in Risoul and Vars. With miles of tree runs and off-piste routes, 2 snow parks, as well as beginner friendly areas across all parts of the resort, it suits any level of skier – a dream for an inclusive university ski trip. Fun fact – Vars is also home to the legendary Chabrières speed skiing slope, the fastest slope in the world with a whopping 98% maximum incline. The après and nightlife in Risoul is gathered closely together, so the whole resort is pedestrianised. On the edge of the base slopes, you have L’Anapurna bar, La Grotte du Yeti’s après terrace, Le Big Food and Playzone bowling alley and bar linked side-by-side that absolutely POPS OFF every day. The collection of bars and après venues so close to the slope allows for an easy transition: hitting big runs in the day, getting silly at après and grabbing a bite to eat, before heading into La Grotte du Yeti’s club later in the night. The event opportunities and venues in Risoul are quickly expanding; there’s a new 'party room' available for private events of all kinds, 20 metres from la Grotte du Yeti, and a huge sports hall to hire out for high- capacity events. With the level of flexibility that Risoul can provide, and the incredible skiing links to Vars, we can see this becoming a hotspot resort for full university takeovers! Don’t knock it until you try it, Risoul is one to look out for.
