National heritage
Risoul 1850

The town of Briançon, just 50km away, is well worth a visit on the way to or from Risoul.

  Around Risoul itself, apart from the superb viewing points, points of interest include a wide collection of chapels and fountains, often painstakingly restored, a testimony to the rich architectural heritage of the Southern Alps, known today as the Latin Alps.
