The Alps · 26/27 season

Club Med in the Alps.
Lift pass, lessons and the table already set.

12 resorts across France and Italy. That is not 12 different decisions; it is two or three traveller profiles spread across 12 Alpine houses. My job is to work out which one you are.

🇫🇷 France

10 resorts

Savoy, the Tarentaise, the Hautes-Alpes and Haute-Savoie. The bulk of the Alpine Club Med offering. All of them 4 Tridents, several with the Exclusive Collection line on top.

🇮🇹 Italy

1 resort

Pragelato Sestriere, linked to the Vialattea ski area. Italian in character without losing the Club Med code.

🇨🇭 Switzerland

1 resort

Saint-Moritz Roi Soleil in the Engadin. The only Club Med in Switzerland, with skiing on Corviglia and timeless Alpine elegance.

How I work with Club Med

I have spent 40 years putting trips together and I have seen how each of these resorts fills up from the inside. I have seen what happens to a couple with no children on a Tuesday in February in Val d’Isère. I have seen how a family with four kids feels on day three in Valmorel. I have seen the dinner tables in Pragelato when three groups from Madrid and a school from Milan arrive at once.

That kind of observation does not fit in a search box. Which is why when you call me we do not open a form. We talk. I ask how each person travelling actually skis, what you left unfinished on the last trip, when you want to be left alone and when you want your day organised for you. I ask before I propose.

Then comes the part that matters: I read back to you what you have told me. Sometimes that is the moment you see that what you asked for and what you need are not the same thing, and we change resort before booking anything. Other times it is clear first time and we go straight there.

After that I check real availability with the Club Med Spain trade team, give you a final price in euros with a proper invoice, and we book. 24 working hours between your first message and a clear yes or no.

What Club Med includes in the Alps

One invoice, everything inside it.

The same across all 12 resorts. The only thing that changes from one to another is what they add on top — a signature spa, a particular activity, a valley connected to one ski area or another. You will see that on each resort page. The base below is always included.

🎫 Full ski-area lift pass

Six days of lift pass (Monday to Saturday) for Sunday-to-Sunday stays. Not the local village pass: the one for the whole ski area the resort is connected to.

🎿 25 hours of ESF lessons a week

Monday to Friday, in groups, every level, with the École du Ski Français. For adults and for children. This is not one stray hour — it is a full week of progression.

⛷️ Genuine ski-in / ski-out

You leave through the resort door with your skis on. No courtesy bus, no walking 200 metres. Your room door leads to the piste.

🍽️ Gourmet full board

Breakfast, lunch and dinner with an international buffet plus mountain cooking. Wine and beer included at the table. Snacks and afternoon tea during the day.

🍹 Open bar all day

Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks included, no wristband, no tab. There is usually a signature cocktail list from the bartender and a French/Italian wine selection.

👶 Mini Club from age 4

Childcare and children’s activities from 4 to 17, included in the price. ESF ski lessons for children are in there too. The thing you pay for separately at other resorts.

💃 Shows and evening entertainment

Shows put on by the resort team, live music, a club in some of them. Not for everyone — if that sounds exhausting to you, say so and I will point you at a different product.

🧘 Spa, fitness, heated pool

Access to the spa and communal areas included. The spa brand changes by resort (Cinq Mondes, Payot…) — I flag that on each resort page because it makes a difference.

What is not included: flights, airport transfers, one-to-one private ski instruction (the ESF lessons are in groups), equipment rental, tips. All of it can be added to the quote if you ask.

How booking works

The process, with no surprises.

  1. 1

    You tell me what you are after

    By WhatsApp or email. Who is travelling, tentative dates, whether there are children, what level of skiing, what kind of trip you want. I ask before I propose.

  2. 2

    I check real availability

    I check what is actually available that week at the resort that fits you. If the date you asked for is closed, I send you alternatives — I do not make anything up.

  3. 3

    I give you a final price in euros

    With a Spanish tax invoice (Viajes Scibasku · CICMA 2283-M · NIF 00829669J). No intermediate commercial breakdowns — the figure I pay Club Med, my margin in plain sight, and what you pay.

  4. 4

    You confirm with a 20% deposit

    Payment by bank transfer or card. If there are flights, the flights are paid at 100% on confirmation (Club Med requires it, and it is standard airline practice). The remaining 80% of the package, 45 days before the start date.

  5. 5

    I put the whole trip in one folder

    Club Med voucher, invoice, transport instructions, in-resort contacts. If anything happens during the week, you call my mobile — I sit between you and the operator.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask me beforehand.

How late can I cancel free of charge? +

Club Med’s standard policy is 45 days before the trip start date for cancellation free of charge. Past that window, progressive charges apply according to their published terms.

If you have added flights to the package, those usually have their own policy (non-refundable in many cases, depending on the fare bought). I set it out plainly when confirming the booking, with no small print.

How late can I change the booking? +
Up to 7 days before the start date, under Club Med’s terms. For small changes (names, children’s ages, room board) write to me in good time and I will handle it at no extra cost where possible.
Does booking with you cost more than on clubmed.es? +

I charge Club Med’s public rate plus my agent commission (like any accredited agency). In practice it usually comes out the same or slightly more competitive, because I have access to rates and offer weeks that do not always appear in the public engine — and because my job is to save you time and mistakes in choosing the resort.

If the Club Med site has a specific promotion that week which you want to take advantage of and I cannot match it, I will tell you and you book directly with them. My job is not to tie you to an agency.

Will you talk to the resort if something happens during the trip? +
Yes. You have my personal mobile and my WhatsApp. If there is a problem with the room, with the transfer, with a flight delay that affects check-in — you call. I get in touch with Club Med Spain, with the resort directly, or with whoever is needed. That is what you pay an agency for: someone at the other end of the phone.
Can you add flights, trains, transfers, equipment rental? +

Flights and trains: yes, I handle them inside the package or separately. Airport transfers: yes, I buy them from the local operator at each resort. Ski or snowboard rental: I point you to the resort’s usual partner so you book it with the Club Med guest discount.

The lift pass and the ESF lessons are already included in the Club Med package — there is no need to buy them separately.

What if we are travelling with very young children? +
The included Mini Club starts at age 4 at every resort. For babies and younger children there are additional services (Baby Club / Petit Club depending on the resort, at extra cost). I advise resort by resort — not all of them have a Baby Club, and if you are travelling with an 18-month-old the difference between Valmorel and Tignes is real.

Commercial terms as per the Club Med general conditions in force (May 2026). Any change to their T&Cs is reflected here. The final invoice is issued in EUR in the name of Viajes Scibasku · CICMA 2283-M · NIF 00829669J.

Why Club Med

Lift pass, lessons, meals and kids’ club on a single invoice.

Club Med works very well for one particular kind of traveller: families who do not want to think about anything for a week, couples who would rather have the table already set than go hunting for a bistro, groups who like dinner to mix with other tables. If you recognise yourself there, this is for you.

All-inclusive in the Alps has little to do with all-inclusive in the Caribbean. Here the lift pass, the ESF lessons, full board with wine on the table and the kids’ club all live inside the same price. There are no surprises on the way out. When you add up on paper what each of those costs separately at any resort in the Alps, the Club Med model usually lands on the side of making sense.

If it does not suit you, I will say so: if what you want is the cabin lost in the middle of the woods, or long dinners in the village at your own pace, or you are not taking anyone to a kids’ club — there are other products on this same site for that (chalets in Méribel, and booking freely in any of the resorts we list).

What I add is the human filter: helping you decide which resort fits how you travel — before you book, not after.
