The Risoul 1850 ski resort was created in 1971 on the heights of Risoul. The highest runway is at an altitude of 2457 meters. Today, the resort welcomes skiers in winter and summer, the slopes turn into alpine meadows where cattle and sheep replace athletes! For activities in the resort, check with the Risoul tourist office.
