Experience the ultimate French Alpine escape at these Club Med resorts

Little ones will also be taken care of at the resort, thanks to its various childcare services. For those aged from 0 to two years old, the Baby Club Med offers a stimulating environment filled with vibrant colours, sounds and materials. Young ones from four to 17 will get to explore the slopes in groups at the Mini Club Med + and Chill Pass Club Med.

After a long day, families can unwind in its Family suite room in the Executive Collection Space, featuring private balcony, separate living and children’s rooms and floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the gorgeous Tarentaise Valley. The suite also provides exclusive services including priority booking at the Club Med Spa, access to the exclusive lounge bar, private transfer and more.

Enjoy the mountain experience to the fullest when you stay at Club Med Tignes. The resort is inspired by its surroundings—step in and you’ll be met with a cosy atmosphere thanks to its use of natural wood and stone. Here, you’ll have direct access to over 300 km of slopes that reach up to 3,456 metres above sea level. The resort’s equipment rental and heated ski room is also conveniently located to ensure that you get a seamless experience from the resort to the slopes. Apart from skiing and snowboarding, a wide range of all-inclusive activities are available, from spinning sessions to whirlpool baths.

Little ones from as young as four years old will be supervised at the Mini Club Med and Teens Club Med where they can enjoy various on-slope and off-slope activities including creative workshops, yoga exercises and dance classes.

When you feel peckish after a day of exploring, feast on local flavours at one of its two restaurants: Le Val Claret and Le Solstice. The former is the resort’s main restaurant offering a lavish buffet spread spanning local specialities to international treats. The latter offers plates inspired by the St John’s Day fireworks and incorporates light elements into its delectable plates. Imbibers will want to check out its wine cellar, complete with a selection of great vintages and regional vino. Little ones will also get to dig into the resort’s kid-friendly menu.

The first Club Med Exclusive Collection resort in the French mountains, Club Med Val d’Isère offers direct access onto the slopes, making it the perfect getaway for ski- and snowboard-loving families. There’s plenty to do both inside and outside this all-inclusive resort. Improve your skiing and snowboarding skills at its ski school which offers intimate coaching classes for all levels from beginner to advanced. With 300 km of slopes and 3,200 hectares of off-piste skiing, you’ll never need to go down the same slope twice.

Those who prefer staying indoors can revel in the resort’s wellness facilities. A haven for well-being, the resort comprises indoor swimming pool, cardio-training area, yoga studio and more. Treat yourself to a Turkish bath or unwind with a relaxing massage.

When it comes to food and drinks, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Within the resort, find two restaurants that showcase their take on the best of Savoie’s culinary scene. Le Bellevarde is designed to mimic a real market hall. It is where you will find a wide variety of tantalising plates that’s suited for every tastebud with a bakery’s bread oven, fishmonger’s stall, Italian deli, and cheese cellar all situated side by side. Les Millésimes is an exclusive space offering peak culinary experience—think French and Italian fare made from local products with wine and food pairings suggested by the restaurant’s chef. After digging into tantalising dishes, head to one of the resort’s bars for a nightcap—from cocktails to virgin mojitos, there’s a drink for everyone.

Little ones will be kept entertained at the Mini Club Med +. On top of ski and snowboard lessons, Mini Club Med + also offers plenty of activities that’ll help boost their self-confidence, social skills and more.

Families will also have the opportunity to bond through exciting offerings like family tournaments and games, allowing families to compete in puzzles, sports, treasure hunts, and more. Little ones will also take centre stage at the Family Show Time. Costumed and directed by their Gentle Organisers (G.O.), the session will see young ones performing for a crowd.
