On Snow Experience

Set high in the southern French Alps at 1,850m, Risoul sits within the vast Forêt Blanche ski area, sharing 185km of pistes with neighbouring Vars. The area delivers great opportunities for off piste skiing, with easily accessible tree runs, varied terrain, and wide, quiet bowls that hold excellent snow conditions long after fresh snowfall – perfect for confidently exploring beyond the marked pistes with expert guiding.

The holiday includes six full days of off piste skiing with a guide. Groups will be organised based on ski level, and there will be up to 6 members in each group. Prior to booking, it is essential that members have the correct ski profile for their holiday. Please see the ‘View dates & prices’ tab for specific holiday information. At the end of the week you will receive an updated grading from your Ski Club Rep. Please be aware that ski touring may be required on this holiday. While we aim to use lifts for access, your instructor may suggest ski touring to reach optimal off-piste conditions. This will all be dependent upon the conditions and the instructor you have on your trip. As this is one of our larger holidays, there may be a group of members that do not want to participate in ski touring. If you would like to be in this group, please inform your Ski Club Rep at the beginning of the holiday.

I am enthusiastic about skiing and sports in general. I live next to Dartmoor and close to the sea so can often be found running distances in the open spaces. I enjoy people and their company, good food and a merry time!

Like most Ski Club Members (and as a freshly qualified Rep, the school of ‘25!) I love to ski with like minded people who enjoy the overall thrill of being in the mountains, squeezing the lemon of life on and off piste to the ski groups content! I started skiing in 1980, now retired from a busy business world, I look forward to welcoming Ski Club Members to enjoy many a memorable experience on the slopes, see you soon!

Holiday FAQs

Everything you need to know about Freshtracks holidays.

What is a Freshtracks holiday?

Freshtracks holidays are group ski trips organised by the Ski Club of Great Britain for solo travellers, couples, and friends who want to ski with like-minded people. We offer social skiing, instructional, off piste, and touring holidays. On all holidays, a dedicated Freshtracks Rep will be on hand to make sure the holiday runs smoothly.

Find out more here – Holidays – Ski Club Of Great Britain.

Are single rooms available?

Single room availability will be shown in the "View Dates & Prices" tab on each holiday page, located under the holiday name. If single rooms are available, this will be clearly stated there. If no single room option is listed, unfortunately this means they have already sold out.

Sometimes we can request additional single rooms from the hotel. Please contact [email protected] for more information.

When will I receive my final holiday itinerary and information?

This information is usually sent out 7-10 days before departure. It will include your final itinerary, Freshtracks Rep contact details, and any important information relating to your transfers, flights, and accommodation, depending on what is included in your specific package.

I am unsure of my ski profile. How do I know what profile I am?

Freshtracks holidays use a ski profiling system to ensure you’re skiing alongside members of a similar ability, creating well-matched groups and a more enjoyable experience for everyone.

We recommend reviewing our Ski Profile page and selecting the profile you feel best represents your current skiing. The profiles are there to help us place you on the right holiday, so please choose honestly to ensure you get the most out of your time on the slopes.

Our Ski Profiles

If you’ve been on a Freshtracks holiday before, your Rep will give you an official grading at the end of the week. This will be recorded on our system and available to view in your Ski Locker.

Do I need to be an expert skier to join a Freshtracks trip?

No. Freshtracks holidays cater to a wide range of skiing abilities, from early intermediates to advanced skiers. Each trip includes detailed information about the recommended ski level so you can choose the right holiday for your ability.

I'm a solo traveller. Would I be suitable for a Freshtracks holiday?

Absolutely. The majority of Freshtracks guests travel solo – in fact, 85% of our guests last winter were solo travellers.

Our holidays are specifically designed to help you meet other passionate skiers and feel part of the group from the start. Group dining, organised skiing and fun social activities all help to create a friendly, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, making Freshtracks an ideal choice for anybody travelling alone.

Are lift passes and ski rental included in the holidays?

Ski rental is not included on Freshtracks holidays and is arranged separately. That said, Ski Club of Great Britain members enjoy access to a number of ski hire discounts, which can be found on our Discounts page.

Ski Club of GB Rental Discounts

Please note that inclusions differ by holiday when it comes to lift passes, so it’s important to check the Essential Info tab beneath the holiday title, as well as the "What’s Included" and "What’s Not Included" sections at the top of the holiday overview page.

I have a group flight included. How do I check in?

For Freshtracks holidays that include group flights, it is not possible to check in online beforehand. You simply need to turn up to a manned check-in desk with your passport on the day, where you will be checked in and issued with a physical boarding pass.

Make sure you read the full travel information in the Travel tab and, once you have booked, keep an eye out for your final information document. This will provide further details on your baggage allowance.

If flights are included, can I bring a ski bag?

Ski carriage cannot be pre-booked and is payable at the airport.

We are ATOL and ABTOT protected so you can book with confidence knowing your money is secure.

Our holidays are a great way to meet and ski with other members of a similar ability to you.
