Which Is The Best Club Med Ski Resort In Europe? 2025 Guide

**Club Med Offers: up to 15% off last minute + up to 15% off winter Dream Deals​ + summer 2025 from £850**
Club Med is a holiday company at the posher end of the UK market. They offer ‘all-inclusive’ skiing holidays in hotels, chalets and apartments in about 15 locations in France, Switzerland and Italy.

They also have ski resorts in Japan, Canada and China, but we will focus on the European resorts.

But which is the best Club Med ski resort? If you'd rather not read all our waffle, then the short answer is that:
  • ​The cheapest Club Med skiing holidays in our comparisons were Club Med Pragelato-Sestriere in Italy and Club Med Saint-Moritz in Switzerland.
  • The best value mid-priced Club Med skiing resorts are ​Club Med Peisey-Vallandry and Club Med La Rosière in France. 
  • The best money-is-no-object luxury Club Med ski resorts are Club Med Les Arcs Panorama or the chalet-apartment options at Grand Massif Samoëns Morillon and Valmorel.
  • The resorts that tend to get snow earliest in the season are Club Med Tignes, Club Med Val d'Isère and Club Med Val Thorens Sensations. Go for one of those if you are skiing in early December.

If you want the full details, read on. We looked at Club Med ski customer reviews, value for money, facilities, climate and other ratings to reach our conclusion.

 Which Club Med ski resort is in the best location?

The first option is to pick a great resort and then stay at Club Med’s accommodation. That’s appealing if you like the Club Med brand and want to try out a popular resort.

According to Club Med, the five best ski resorts in Europe are:
  1. Val Thorens (home of Club Med Val Thorens Sensations)
  2. Les Arcs (home of Club Med Les Arcs Panorama)
  3. Samoëns (home of Club Med Grand Massif Samoëns Morillon)
  4. Tignes (home of Club Med Tignes)
  5. St Moritz (home of Club Med Saint Moritz Roi Soleil)

These resorts all offer a good range of ski runs and plenty of evening entertainment.

Meanwhile, Conde Nast Traveler readers concluded in 2022 that St Moritz was the best ski resort in Europe (home of Club Med Saint Moritz Roi Soleil). 

Other Club Med skiing destinations which featured in recent Conde Nast Traveler top 20s included Val Thorens at number 18 in 2024 (home of Club Med Val Thorens Sensations), Val D'Isere at number two in 2024 (home of Club Med Val d'Isère) and Les Arcs La Plagne at number 20 in 2024 (home of Club Med Les Arcs Panorama and Club Med La Plagne 2100).

However, it might not be the case that the best Club Med resorts are in the best locations. They might – for example – have an outstanding hotel in a less spectacular location. We'll look at the hotels in more detail later...

Club Med has a hotel in St Moritz, which is often voted as one of Europe's best ski resorts

So, which Club Med resort gets the best reviews?

We spent a happy hour digging out reviews on TripAdvisor and Google reviews and have added the scores together to create a league table of Club Med ski and snowboard resorts (correct as of October 2024). They are in France, unless otherwise stated.

  1. Club Med Les Arcs Panorama – 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor, 4.7/5 on Google reviews = total of 92%
  2. Club Med La Rosière – 4.5/5, 4.6/5 = 91%
  3. Club Med Val Thorens Sensations – 4.5/5, 4.5/5 = 90%
  4. Club Med Peisey-Vallandry – 4.5/5, 4.5/5 = 90%
  5. Club Med Grand Massif Samoëns Morillon 4.5/5, 4.4/5 = 89%
  6. Club Med Valmorel – 4.5/5, 4.4/5 = 89%
  7. Club Med Tignes – 4.5/5, 4.4/5 = 89%
  8. Club Med Pragelato-Sestriere, Italy – 4.5/5, 4.3/5 = 88%
  9. Club Med Serre-Chevalier – 4.5/5, 4.3/5 = 88%​
  10. Club Med Alpe d'Huez – 4.5/5, 4.2/5 = 87%
  11. Club Med La Plagne 2100 – 4/5, 4.2/5 = 83%
  12. Club Med Saint-Moritz, Switzerland – 4/5, 4.2/5 = 82%
  13. Club Med Val d'Isère – 4/5, 4.1/5 = 82%
    ​
So, there are two resorts that are towards the top of the leader board on customer reviews and also in the ‘best’ ski resorts in Europe - Club Med Val Thorens Sensations and Club Med Les Arcs Panorama.

Club Med Grand Massif Samoëns Morillon isn't far behind.


It's also worth mentioning that Club Med Tignes replaced Club Med Tignes Val Claret in December 2022. The reviews are a mix of comments on the old and new resort, so they give a slightly confusing picture.

Which Club Med skiing resort is the most luxurious?

The short answer is that Club Med Val d'Isère is considered to be the poshest and most luxurious Club Med ski resort in Europe. It recently underwent a major renovation and is now part of the 'Exclusive Collection'.
​
Here's the longer answer!

Club Med has its own rating systems, with ‘tridents’ instead of stars (tridents are the three pronged things in the Club Med logo). In order from least posh to most posh:
  • A '3 Trident' rating is given to the less luxurious resorts. The only one currently within that category is Club Med Serre-Chevalier. ​
Bedroom at Club Med Serre-Chevalier
Club Med Serre-Chevalier has slightly more basic accommodation
  • A '4 Trident' rating is given to more luxurious resorts. That includes most Club Med ski resorts in Europe such as Club Med Alpe d'Huez and Club Med La Rosière.
Club Med La Rosiere accommodation
Club Med La Rosière is a step up so you get a plusher bedroom
  • ​The next step up is a '4 Trident' resort, which also has 'Exclusive Collection' upgrade options. This was previously called '5 Trident space'.* This means that most of the resort is worthy of '4 Tridents' but that you can upgrade for things like more spacious accommodation and better views. Club Med ski resorts under this category include Club Med Tignes, Club Med Les Arcs Panorama,  Club Med Valmorel as well as the posh chalet apartments at Club Med Grand Massif Samoëns Morillon and Club Med Valmorel. Again, the idea is that you get more spacious accommodation.
Club Med Les Arcs Panorama bedroom
Resorts like Club Med Les Arcs Panorama are the next step up in poshness
  • The poshest Club Med resorts are those which are entirely within the 'Exclusive Collection' (previously known as '5 Tridents'). The only Club Med resort which makes this grade is Club Med Val d'Isère.
Bedroom at Club Med Val d'Isère
Club Med Val d'Isère is in the 'Exclusive Collection' - meaning it is the poshest of the posh
*It's a little bit confusing, as you will still find some references to '5 Trident' resorts online. As far as I can tell, the 5 Trident rating seems to have been officially replaced with the Exclusive Collection grading.

Which Club Med resort has the most number of ski runs?

If you’re a skiing or snowboarding beginner, you won’t cover a huge amount of ground over a week. However, if you’re a confident explorer then it’s more fun to see a wider range of ski slopes.

There’s quite a big range in the number of alpine (i.e. downhill) ski slopes at the different Club Med resorts. We’ve ranked them from those with the most to the least:


  1. Club Med Val Thorens Sensations – 600km of alpine slopes
  2. Club Med La Plagne 2100 – 425km
  3. Club Med Peisey-Vallandry – 425km
  4. Club Med Les Arcs Panorama – 425km
  5. Club Med Pragelato-Sestriere, Italy – 400km
  6. Club Med Saint-Moritz, Switzerland – 350km
  7. Club Med Val d'Isère – 300km
  8. Club Med Tignes - 300km
  9. Club Med Serre-Chevalier – 250km
  10. Club Med Alpe d'Huez – 237km
  11. Club Med La Rosière – 160km
  12. Club Med Valmorel/Valmorel Chalet Apartments – 150km
  13. Club Med Grand Massif Samoëns Morillon/Chalet Apartments - 148km

Other things worth noting are that:
  • Club Med Pragelato-Sestriere in Italy has the greatest number of black runs (the most challenging ski runs). Club Med Valmorel has very few black runs.
  • Club Med Val Thorens Sensations has the greatest number of green runs (the easiest ski slopes, which are best for beginners). Club Med Les Arcs Panorama doesn't have a huge number of green slopes - although if you’re a beginner you only need a small area to practice in.

Which Club Med resort is the cheapest/best value?

Here’s where it gets interesting!

We wanted to get a rough idea of price, so we looked up the price for a family of four staying during early-January 2025 at each resort. Of course, you’ll pay more during school holidays and less at the start/end of the season, but we picked a middle-ish priced time to travel.

We looked for prices excluding flights and transfers and ranked them from cheapest to most expensive:


  1. Club Med Pragelato-Sestriere, Italy – £6068
  2. Club Med Saint-Moritz, Switzerland – £6330
  3. Club Med La Plagne 2100 – £6952
  4. Club Med Serre-Chevalier – £7230
  5. Club Med Valmorel – £7750
  6. Club Med Grand Massif Samoëns Morillon - £8132
  7. Club Med Alpe d'Huez – £8310
  8. Club Med La Rosière – £8628
  9. Club Med Peisey-Vallandry – £8902
  10. Club Med Les Arcs Panorama – £10,108
  11. Club Med Grand Massif Samoëns Morillon Chalet Apartments - £11,386
  12. Club Med Valmorel Chalet Apartments - £12,538
  13. Club Med Tignes - £13,224
  14. Club Med Val Thorens Sensations – £16,098
  15. Club Med Val d'Isère – £19,796​

Which Club Med ski resort gets the most snow?

Skiing at the start of Club Med's winter season in early December carries a risk that you won't have enough snow - particularly with Europe getting gradually warmer. Regular skiers will know the anguish of checking the forecast daily and hoping that snow soon arrives.

​We've dug through the data to see which Club Med resorts are most likely to give you plenty of snow if you arrive at the start of the season in early December.

Here's data for how much snow each Club Med resort averaged in November in recent years: 


  1. Club Med Tignes – 74cm
  2. Club Med Val d'Isère – 74cm
  3. Club Med Val Thorens Sensations – 63cm
  4. Club Med Saint-Moritz, Switzerland – 23cm
  5. Club Med Alpe d'Huez – 16cm
  6. ​Club Med Les Arcs Panorama – 0cm
  7. Club Med La Rosière – 0cm
  8. Club Med Peisey-Vallandry - 0cm
  9. Club Med Grand Massif Samoëns Morillon  - 0cm
  10. Club Med Valmorel – 0cm
  11. Club Med Pragelato-Sestriere, Italy – 0cm
  12. Club Med Serre-Chevalier – 0cm​
  13. Club Med La Plagne 2100 – 0cm

Snowfall tends to be more reliable in mid and late December, but I would say it's a bit risky to book a holiday in the first week of December at those resorts showing zero centimetres (unless you fancy a walking holiday...). A safer bet would be Club Med Tignes, Club Med Val d'Isère and Club Med Val Thorens Sensations, which averaged a reasonable amount of snow in November.

And what about the end of the season?

We then look at data for snow in April and found much more positive figures. From most to least snow:
  1. Club Med Tignes – 421cm
  2. Club Med Val d'Isère – 421cm​
  3. Club Med Les Arcs Panorama – 389cm
  4. Club Med Peisey-Vallandry – 389cm
  5. Club Med La Plagne 2100 – 320cm
  6. Club Med Grand Massif Samoëns Morillon - 290cm
  7. Club Med La Rosière – 267cm
  8. Club Med Val Thorens Sensations – 236cm
  9. Club Med Alpe d'Huez – 236cm
  10. Club Med Serre-Chevalier – 170cm
  11. Club Med Valmorel – 145cm
  12. Club Med Pragelato-Sestriere, Italy – 90cm
  13. Club Med Saint-Moritz, Switzerland – 27cm

So, the chance of snow in April is high across the Club Med resorts. The only exception is Club Med Saint-Moritz in Switzerland, which has seen only minimal snow in April recently.

Boring notes about this data: this data covers the 22/23 and 23/24 winter seasons. We used the data for the 'higher slopes' where you get more snow. In some cases, you might find that there is only snow at the top of the mountain so you'll need to get a lift to the top. We used the November data to show whether there is likely to be snow on December 1st. We found this data on the Iglu Ski website.

Conclusion – which is the best Club Med ski resort in Europe?

Honestly, I don't there's a bad choice for a Club Med skiing holiday. They all get decent reviews and have plenty to offer for a winter holiday.

However, here are my four conclusions from that mass of statistics:


  1. If you don’t want to re-mortgage, then I’d start by looking at Club Med Serre-Chevalier, Club Med Pragelato-Sestriere in Italy and Club Med Saint-Moritz in Switzerland. They were the cheapest in our price comparison and they offer a similar number of ski slopes. Club Med Serre-Chevalier gets slightly better reviews from customers, but Club Med and Conde Nast Traveler readers reckon that Club Med Saint-Moritz is in one of the best resorts in Europe.

  2. If you want a mid-priced and all-round good value Club Med ski resort, then I would pick Club Med Peisey-Vallandry. It gets decent reviews from customers, has a good distance of alpine ski slopes and was mid-priced in our price comparisons. Club Med La Rosière is another mid-priced resort with outstanding reviews.

  3. If money is no object, then I would start with Club Med Les Arcs Panorama or the chalet-apartment options at Grand Massif Samoëns Morillon and Valmorel. Club Med Val Thorens Sensations is also worth an honourable mention as the resort is a popular one, which has more ski runs than anywhere else and a highly rated hotel. 
    ​
    Club Med Les Arcs Panorama gets the best reviews from customers (at the time of writing) and it has a wide range of pistes. Meanwhile, the chalet apartments at Club Med Grand Massif Samoëns Morillon and Valmorel aren’t cheap but they both get great reviews and offer a ‘5 trident’ luxury experience. Club Med Grand Massif Samoëns Morillon is in one of Europe’s best ski resorts according to Club Med whilst Valmorel’s accommodation is a little bit posher.​


  4. If you plan to ski at the start of Club Med's winter season (i.e. early December) then you would be best stay at either Club Med Tignes, Club Med Val d'Isère or Club Med Val Thorens Sensations. These three have a better record of getting snow in November, so the pistes are more likely to be open in time for your arrival.
