A forest of larches surrounds this fully-equipped resort. The domain of the Forêt Blanche guarantees all possible glides for beginner and advanced skiers.

At Risoul, alpine skiing on 180 km of runs in the Forêt Blanche domain, means skiing in a splendid setting, facing the Ecrins (4102 m) and the Queyras, above the Durance river and the Serre-Ponçon lake, under the sun of the High Alps...

The "Domaine de la Forêt Blanche", between 1850 and 2750 m of altitude benefits from an ideal snow cover not only thanks to this altitude but also thanks to its northern exposition and its particular relief.

The surfland of Risoul welcomes you all winter long, on the ski domain of the Forêt Blanche, with a lit-up Half-pipe, a Boardercross course, springboards and other bumps.

RISOUL combines with conviviality, even in its conception of entertainment and events for young and old.

L'Embrunnais is surrounded in the North by le Champsaur, in the West by le Gapençais, in the South by Haute-Provence Alps and in the East by le Pays du Guil and le Queyras. This area consists of a large part of Durance valley and high green traditional valleys. L'Embrunnais is one of the sunniest and dryest places in the Hautes-Alpes. The landscapes and the high altitude vegetation show perfectly such exceptional climate conditions. Embrun, the major town in the area, is called 'la Nice des Alpes'. This wide and historic place, around the city of Embrun, combines various activities. In summer, it's time for hiking in the mountain and watersports on Serre-Ponçon lake and Durance river. In winter, the 3 ski resorts (Les Orres, Réallon, Crévoux) are a paradise for gliding, hiking and relaxation lovers.
