Location & what to see

Risoul Village is in the Hautes-Alpes, amid a landscape of mountains and Alpine valleys. The village offers a taste of mountain life away from major urban centres, with activities that change with the seasons. Visitors come for the ski slopes, hiking trails and roads popular with cyclists. The area also suits those looking to combine outdoor outings with visits to the villages of the Guillestrois.

Guillestre, 1.4 km away, is a valley town where you can stroll through the streets and stop before an excursion into the surrounding mountain ranges. Mont-Dauphin, 2.5 km away, is a fortified town designed by Vauban and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site; its ramparts and military buildings tell the story of the region’s defences. Montdauphin-Guillestre railway station is 3.4 km away and is the valley’s main rail access point. The Queyras Regional Natural Park and Écrins National Park offer extensive opportunities for hiking and taking in Alpine scenery.

In winter, stays revolve around skiing and snow activities. In summer, trails let you explore the slopes on foot, while the roads attract cyclists. Spring and autumn offer quieter days for visiting the fortifications, exploring the towns and discovering the mountain scenery beyond the ski slopes. Bring clothing suitable for changeable weather and allow time for an excursion in the Queyras or towards the valleys of the Écrins.
