Accommodation in Risoul
Constellation apartments
There are 7 blocks within the constellation Foret Blanche (Cassiopee, Castor, Pollux, - these are without dishwasher and Altair, Aldebaran, Betelgeuse and Pegase – with dishwasher).
Les Balcons de Sirius
This block has lots of extra facilities - indoor pool, Jacuzzi, fitness room, bar and a lounge with a fireplace.
Les Melezes
This residence is split into 4 blocks and there are 3 types of apartments available. The ground floor consists of ski shops, a supermarket, a restaurant (Le Cherine) and a bar with the apartments on the floors above. We have put them on request only,as although they are ideally located on the slopes, they are quite noisy as lots of groups tend to stay here. The 3 star constellation apartments are only a tiny bit more expensive and well worth the extra amount (less than £10 per week in most cases!).
Vega
This is newest apartment block built by SARA and was completed for winter 2008/09. Good quality apartments in various sizes.
