Excellent beginners and children area (lifts for beginners free) Good resort can ski over to Vars (intermediate or above only) Vars is not as nice as Risoul and you will want to come back. Lacks mountain Cafes but the atmosphere in the resort is Very Good. The Cherin bar is well worth a visit. Lots of the accommodation is ski in/out which is a great plus. Risoul represents great value for money and has plenty of doorstep skiing to suit all abilities. All in all an excellent resort with good snow conditions and well-prepared slopes where you are almost alone, no lift-queues! The only disadvantage is that it is 3hrs + from the airport
