France
France has a reputation as the undisputed champion of the world of skiing, and the scenic peaks of the French Alps are undoubtedly a huge reason why it is one of the most popular European winter holiday destinations in the world. With slopes of up to 3,000m high, some of the steepest and most challenging ski slopes in the world, the alps has plenty of thrills in store for advanced skiers and snowboarders looking for more places with expert-level terrain to go skiing and snowboarding. With lovely French alpine towns nearby to explore, breath-taking scenery and delicious French cuisine to enjoy, Club Med’s resorts in the French Alps are perfect for vacations with family and friends.
Switzerland
The Swiss Alps, while equally challenging, are also known for its unrivalled natural beauty, making it ideal for a romantic trip even if you’re not looking for places to go skiing. And of course, no visit to Switzerland would be complete without trying out local cultures and cuisines such as yodelling, rosti and fondue. Whether you’re there to conquer the slopes or relax amidst the chilly beauty of the Swiss Alps, you definitely shouldn’t pass up the chance to savour some delicious Swiss chocolates and cheeses!
Italy
While the Italian Alps is included in the European Alps line-up and boasts the same stunning views as the Swiss Alps, most of its slopes are not as extreme as the ones you’ll find in Switzerland. However, Italy still has some rather intense runs, so it offers a good balance for those looking for both family-friendly slopes and challenging pistes. And after you’ve tired yourself out in the snow, remember to dive right in and explore our gourmet menu and array of delightfully hearty Italian mountain cuisine to complete the experience!
