Club Med Tignes Opens Its Doors to Visitors

A brand-new ski resort catering to active families and couples opens its doors to visitors on 2nd December.

The newest ski-in/ski-out resort to join Club Med’s all-inclusive Alpine locations is Club Med Tignes.

It contains 430 rooms, two restaurants, a swimming pool, a spa, and a wellness center. It also offers a variety of winter sports, such as skiing, glacier hiking, snowshoeing, fat biking, bobsleighing, sledding, and, in a first for Club Med, scuba diving beneath frozen lake ice.

“This is a new chapter in Tignes as we have been here since 1958”, said Henri Giscard d’Estaing, president of Club Med. “We’re excited to welcome guests to this exceptional premium resort as Club Med moves to become a global leader of premium all-inclusive holidays for families and active couples.”

Ski classes for youngsters four and older, a kids’ club, a babysitting service, and supervised skiing and snowboarding for teens are just a few of the resort’s family-friendly selling points.

Due to the all-inclusive philosophy used at Club Med Tignes, guests receive ski tickets upon arrival, ski lessons are not an additional expense, and meals as well as all drinks, even alcoholic ones, are included in the trip fee.

Club Med built the new resort with sustainability in mind; it is BREEAM-certified, has rooftops that can support 150 solar panels, and has a sustainability plan that forbids the use of plastic bottles inside the resort, has strict guidelines for reducing food waste, and recycles used ski equipment.

The interiors of Club Med Tignes were created by Studio Jean-Philippe Nuel Architecture and Design, drawing inspiration from the local mountain culture and incorporating collaborations with snowboarder and street artist Lucas Beaufort from France.

This introduction comes as Club Med reports that 53% of those surveyed stated they were considering traveling to a different location for their winter sports vacations, with France emerging as the most cost-effective option.

Tignes is one of the most popular resort destinations for Club Med, with sales up 36% from this time last year.

Additionally, despite the cost-of-living problem, 60% of frequent skiers want to spend more on their vacations in the coming months, according to the report.

Nicolas Bresch, managing director UK and Nordics at Club Med, commented: “With prices and currencies fluctuating in these uncertain times, we’ve made a promise to our customers and are guaranteeing that the price of their stay will not change after booking.”

“We believe the all-inclusive ski holiday model will be more attractive than ever given this, with customers feeling safe in the knowledge that they are not going to be hit with lots of additional costs after booking,” he added.

The opening of Club Med Val d’Isere in the French Alps later this month will expand the operator’s selection of winter sports in the area.
