Risoul

Most of the bigger hotels had little rooms on the bottom floor with two or three machines in, you can buy cards for access from the reception. Nicest one was very top hotel right on the slopes over the bridge you ski back home under can't remember its name :) We were there last week, excellent place great skiing, nice people.

Juliet, the Crystal hotel Club Morgan definitely had internet access in 2006 (tokens purchased at bar). They also had Sky tv as I remember watching football there. Have a great time!

When I think of Risoul, I always think of those corned beef things my mum used to cook when I was a kid.

Off to Risoul this Saturday and have just noticed that my lift pass includes Les ECRINS??

I have not seen this anywhere, not listed on J2 and didn't see it on the piste map... anyone have any experience of this?

Thanks

Yeah, thats right. I would support the French in a football match against the country of my birth.

Just come back from Risoul, ws a lovely place with great off piste through the trees. Weather was great and a smattering of fresh snow most days kept it fresh.

Although some lifts were slow and and a few long drags, this was a real gem of a place with a nice French feel. Not the wildest of apre, but that depnds who you go with I guess :-)

Was not quite as impressed with the linked area of Vars, but that may have been due to the condition of the slopes which were not as well keot as Risoul.

Enough skiing for a week witout doubt and met an English family of 12 who have been there 17 times, thats a recommendation !

All over for me til next year now :cry:
