Renovated Club Med Alpe d’Huez
Club Med Alpe d’Huez, the reimagined and all-inclusive ski resort in the Savoie region of the French Alps will reopen on December 15 with $110 million in renovations. It’s is just two and a half hours from the Geneva airport, two hours from the Lyon airport and 90 minutes from the Grenoble airport. The upscale ski-in/ski-out property (the region has 155 miles of ski runs!) will showcase 441 rooms and suites including spacious two-bedroom suites. New for this ski season are family-dedicated lessons on two designated slopes for children as young as four years old. Other winter activities include snowshoeing, hiking, Nordic walking, cross-country skiing, skijoring (skiing pulled by dogs or horses!), dog sledding, paragliding, rail sledding, ice skating, swimming lessons at the resort’s indoor pool, and virtual reality sledding. There is also an extensive program for children age four months to 17 years of age. A new Happy Lounge will provide a dedicated area for families next to the children’s clubs with amenities such as an international library of children’s books, multicultural board games, a playground with climbing walls and a drawing wall. Club Med’s all-inclusive ski package includes premium accommodations, ski lift passes, group ski and snowboard lessons, personal equipment lockers, gourmet meals and snacks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, children’s clubs, activities, fitness classes, evening entertainment, internet and gratuities. You may be surprised that this all-inclusive package with air can cost less than skiing The Rockies!
