Why ski La Forêt Blanche for the 2027 winter holidays
🇫🇷 185 km · 2 destinations · La Forêt Blanche
Vars and Risoul joined over the ridge, 185 km of sunny southern-Alps piste through the larches.
Why this domain for winter 2027
One pass, one huge playground
La Forêt Blanche links 2 resorts on a single lift pass: 185 km of piste and 51 lifts, enough that a week of the 2027 holidays never skis the same run twice.
Snow you can plan a holiday around
Topping out at 2750 m and backed by serious snowmaking, the cover holds well across a normal winter 2027.
Choose your base
Base yourself in Vars and Risoul: each opens onto the same linked terrain on one pass, so you pick the village that fits your group and still ski the whole domain.
When to go in 2027
Lifts typically turn from Dec 14 to Apr 14. The Christmas and February school-holiday weeks are the lively peaks; for the same snow with thinner crowds, mid-January and mid-March are the smart 2027 windows.
Where to base yourself
Each of these resorts opens onto the linked domain on one pass. Pick the village, ski it all.
