Betelgeuse: SARA Tourist Residences

Betelgeuse: SARA Tourist Residences, Risoul

 Djinn76 Says:  This is one of these classical furnished flats you can rent in a skiing resort...This one was rather new, nice and quite 'comfortable'. It was a 6 persons flat and even if it was rather small, there was no real problem... As usual, two persons have to sleep in the living... 

Restaurants  

Le Cherine: Le Cherine

Le Cherine: Le Cherine, Risoul

 Djinn76 Says:  At the same time a bar and a restaurant, this is a place I would warmly recommend. Even better, they have Belgian beers: Stella and Jupiler are the basic beers over there…The pub is the best place we’ve found to rest following a day skiing, sipping a cup of blue wine.The...

Go To Travel

Go To Travel, Risoul

 Djinn76 Says:  That’s the travel agency we have used… At first, the price of the trip could sound interesting but that’s most probably because Risoul is not an expensive resort. I’m pretty sure we could have got a lower price by organizing everything by ourselves (even going alone or with... 

L’Apache / Le Cactus

L’Apache / Le Cactus, Risoul

 Djinn76 Says:  This is the “place to be” in the resort. L’Apache is a bar and just close to it, “Le Cactus” is the associated restaurant. You can’t miss them, if you are staying in the higher part of the resort, this is the first bar you’d see when coming back by ski. Electronic music or...

Renting your equipment...

Renting your equipment..., Risoul

 Djinn76 Says:  This is one of the main shops in France where you can rent your ski and ski shoes. An alternative to investigate could be “ski set”. Since it is quite important to feel comfortable when skiing, I picked the “Golden category”. That was supposed to be the highest quality level... 

The Black slopes

The Black slopes, Risoul

 Djinn76 Says:  Not too many black slopes on the domain, I would simply mention the ‘Epervier’ coming down from Peyrefolle (2457m), this is an easy one you could try to say you have done a black slope…Now on the other extreme, if you are looking for a wall full of bumps, you would be more... 

The ski courses

The ski courses, Risoul

 Djinn76 Says:  Even if you are already able to ski, I would still recommend taking some extra ski course. I was in the “advanced level” course. Our monitor was totally crazy (in the good way). If we were not speeding through the domain or practicing some of his tips, he was simply bringing... 

The Red slopes

The Red slopes, Risoul

 Djinn76 Says:  From La Mayt (2580m) going down to Vars Ste Marie, Olympique superieur and inferieur are two red slopes I have particularly liked. Long, steep, in good conditions, that’s just perfect to practice what you have learned or simply to speed…however since they are the main access...

Le Domaine de la Foret Blanche

Le Domaine de la Foret Blanche, Risoul

 Djinn76 Says:  From 1675 till 2750m, the skiing area is made of two different valleys: Vars and Risoul. With 180km of ski slopes, you have enough to do for a week and can find many different type of slopes. Additionally, the landscape is awesome! The only drawback is that you only have a...
