Skiing in France takes place in two parts of the country: the Alps and the much smaller Pyrenees. Although as many as 400 fully equipped mountain resorts are situated in the Alps range, they only cover 6% of its total area, which means the mountains have not lost any part of their natural beauty. Due to location at the height of up to 3300 meters above sea level, French resorts are busy for a very long part of the year. The skiing season in these starts in late autumn and ends in the first days of May.

Top Tips for Skiing in Risoul

1. Stay Warm. Other than buying good quality ski clothing, you should always dress in layers as they trap warm air in the spaces between.
2. Stay hydrated. You must replenish your liquids from all that exercise.
3. Take a lesson. No matter how good your skiing, it can be invaluable to get expert advice both on your style and the local conditions and ski slopes.
4. If you don’t fall, you’re not skiing hard enough. Many ski instructors say that you cannot get better without pushing yourself.
5. Look out for beginners. We all started as beginners and their occasional lack of control is to be expected, not a cause for your annoyance.
