Club Med’s top 5 family-friendly resorts

The vast domain of Paradiski is perfectly suited to families with its 300km of well-groomed pistes – and at Les Arcs 1600, the all-inclusive Les Arcs Panorama is named after its impossibly beautiful views, nestled in a clearing at 1,750m. There are kids’ ski classes and a highly efficient locker service, and the plush Scandinavian design resembles an enchanted forest, with playful animal sculptures adorning the three restaurants and lounges.

Enjoying ski-in ski-out access to the mighty Grand Massif from its position on the edge of the Saix plateau at 1,600m, this all-inclusive family resort has taken its inspiration from the slopes themselves, blending seamlessly into the mountains with panoramic views across the Giffre valley. Adults can relax in the spa while the kids tackle the climbing wall or learn to DJ. For dinner, try the unique Bread & Co where the little ones are the chefs.

Fancy some real altitude? At 2,300m, the all-inclusive Val Thorens Sensations is one of Club Med’s highest ski hotels, with its own central ski lift whisking you into the Three Valleys domain with its 600km of slopes. Children will love the indoor climbing wall and neon dance party, while parents can enjoy wine tasting at the Epicurious lounge bar and try the special menu by two-Michelin-starred chef Edouard Loubet.

Tried-and-tested for families with its ‘Famille Plus’ status, Alpe d’Huez is a great choice for your next skiing holiday. Club Med’s resort soaks up the views from its Savoie mountainside, boasting ski-in ski-out access to a 250km domain as well as fun alternatives such as dog-sledding. A stunning indoor pool and ‘Happy Lounge’ with playground and climbing walls offer respite from the slopes on low-visibility days.

This world-renowned winter wonderland at the heart of Espace Killy isn’t just fashionable – it’s great for kids too, the majority of the slopes being accessible blues, alongside a range of off-snow activities for tired little legs. Perched at 1,850m in the Vanoise mountains, Club Med’s cosy, all-inclusive resort has two restaurants, a heated indoor pool and spa. In the evenings, dine overlooking the mountains or enjoy a book by the fire.
