Theres a really cheap package to Risoul I keep eyeing every season, Rocketski use a chalet hotel there, and reports suggest the slopes are quiet, and prices are low. Its interesting to find someone who has actually been as it does not appear to be well used by British skiers.

I keep eyeing that Rocketski club hotel as well; I have hesitated to go further as during the weeks I've been interested in, there have been school parties booked into the accommodation - perhaps that's why prices are low!

That's precisely why prices are so low. That's not to say it isn't worth taking a chance on; as long as you know what you are getting.

You are right. It's the Morgan which was full of schools n scouts when we went. I think my daughter quite fancies it there.

Thats the one.
Rocketski had a load of kids in the hotel I stopped in SC in a few years back. They were far better behaved than many of the adults there as it happened.

Their hotels often have school parties, trust me they wont be a problem as the teachers will have them all in bed by 10

Tony, that's what the older scouts said. All the kiddies in bed by 10pm, leaving adults to run amock.

I don't think any mainstream UK TOs are going to Risoul this year. Crystal seem to have dropped Risoul, but are still going to Vars (the other Foret Blanche resort oin t'other side of the mountain).

Seems an ideal place now for a DIY holiday, no early starts to the airport :thumbup:
