With refined resorts and all-inclusive packages, Club Med is popular for its sophisticated ski holidays in world class destinations.

Club Med has 23 ski resorts around the world with ski holidays to suit individual travelers, families, couples or friends. For those who want to experience Europe there are 17 French, 3 Swiss and 2 Italian
Club Med resorts to choose from. Club Med has refurbished many of the properties, enlisting some of the most renowned French interior designers to create accommodation that is modern, warm and inviting.

With 22 resorts in Europe, Club Med gives skiers more choice and flexibility on the slopes. In ski domains with multiple Club Med resorts such as Paradiski, Espace Killy and Les 3 Vallees skiers can stop to relax and refuel at any Club Med in their area. In valleys where skiers are not able to ski between resorts, lunch is included at selected restaurants on the mountain. This ‘altitude dinning' concept allows guests to ski to their own timetable while still enjoying the exceptional international buffets and speciality restaurants included at all the Club Med resorts.

Club Med's all-inclusive packages give travellers the freedom to relax and enjoy skiing in the world's best ski fields without worrying about blowing the budget. The winter land packages include a choice of
accommodation, 5-day ski pass, three meals per day with unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks, Kids Clubs, nightly entertainment and open bar and snacking. Also included is a 5-day Ski School with
professional ski instructors for all ages and ability levels. Adults can refresh their skills and be guided to the best ski spots, children from the age of four can learn to ski and teens will enjoy the innovative ski
programme including freestyle skiing, moguls and jumps.

Club Med is perfect for a hassle free family ski holiday. The popular Kids Clubs allows parents the freedom of hitting the slopes knowing their children are being looked after by qualified minders and
having the time of their lives meeting friends from all over the world. Every age group is catered for with specially designed activities and ski school with professional instructors. There is Petit Club Med for
children aged 2 to 3 years, Mini Club Med for 4 to 10 year olds and Juniors Club Med for teens aged 11 to 17 years. For new parents, Club Med Chamonix Mont-Blanc has introduced a new Baby Club Med with professional minding for children between 4 and 23 months.

Many of Club Med's ski resorts have heated swimming pools, saunas and Turkish baths so that guests can relax tired muscles when the lifts are closed. Those who need a little extra indulgence can rejuvenate with a spa treatment. All of Club Med's spas offer a great post slope experience, but for spa junkies Club Med Peisy-Vallandry will not disappoint. The 800 square metres Spa NUXE area has nine treatment areas including traditional Turkish treatment rooms and a Zen area for post treatment relaxation complete with a herbal tea room. At Club Med Chamonix the luxurious French Spa Cinq Mondes, a heated outdoor swimming pool and relaxing sun terrace will ensure guests can easy relax between ski sessions.

Some Tips For an Ideal Holiday

To make progress under the best conditions, stick with your chosen activity throughout your holiday.
Don�t forget your ID photo for your ski-lift pass.
You absolutely must pick up your ski-lift pass on the day you arrive so as not to lose half of the day on which you obtain it.
Look after your ski-lift pass. It will only be refunded if you have taken out Worry-Free Skiing cover.
Avoid bad surprises: snowboards, monoskis and snowblades are not allowed in downhill skiing lessons.

Think About Following a Few Simple Rules

Get into shape before you leave home
Consult local safety rules on www.mdem.org
Warm up before you ski as well as after a long or cold journey by ski-lift. Take advantage of the stretching lessons on offer in our Villages.
Check your bindings are properly adjusted each morning. Specialised GOs are ready to listen to you.
Always have your sunglasses, gloves and hats with you.
You and your children are advised to wear a helmet (obligatory at Cervinia).
Never go off-piste skiing without a professional. Outings are offered as part of expert or level 3 lessons. You must hire the necessary safety equipment (ARVA) at the resort.
