When it comes to sunny, snowy ski areas, La Forêt Blanche (“The White Forest”) is a ski region every- one needs to know better.
With 185km of slopes in a beautiful location that benefits from both the sunshine of the Mediter- ranean-influenced southern French Alps and great snow conditions from its north-facing slopes and high altitude, the region links the slopes of neighbouring villages Risoul and Vars. As well as fabulous slopes for all abilities, there are exceptional off-piste opportunities including some fantastic couloirs/ corridors such as Couloir de l’Alaska.
