Mountain biking on snow
Mountain biking on snow is the hottest new winter sport. These high-tech bikes come equipped with studded tires which allow you to explore the snowy landscape… and maybe do a trick or two! Just make sure you wear your helmet.
Snowshoe & Nordic walking
Whether you prefer walking boots or snowshoes, at a quick or leisurely pace, your mountain guide will show you the way. Nordic walking is ideal for exploring your surroundings at a pace that allows you time to take in the wintry landscapes. In Valmorel (France), the panoramic excursion includes a ski lift ride to the Col de la Madeleine.
Cross country skiing
Nordic skiing vacations are a great way to combine both exercise and fun. Looking for stunning scenery, thrilling sensations, and a unique setting? Our Club Med Resorts are perfect for cross-country skiing vacations. Whatever your ability level, you'll be in good hands with instructors from the ESF (French Ski School).
Music & nightlife
Ski resorts are famous for their exciting nightlife, and you don’t need to have spent the day on skis to join in. Winter sports and music go hand in hand, and many domains hold big music festivals during peak ski season attracting bands and DJs. That’s not all! You may also have the opportunity to watch daredevil stunts and exhibitions performed by ski and snowboarding teams.

SPA
Pamper yourself and melt away your stress.
Whether you’re hitting the slopes or not, there’s still a lot to be said for the benefits of some tactfully applied heat or pressure to help relieve you of any stiffness and soreness.
The spas in many of our resorts are run in partnership with some of the top global spa companies around, such as Sothys, where you can indulge in massages, body scrubs and manicures. Getting your lower back and legs massaged after a day skiing is a great way to prepare your body for the next day. A visit to the hot tub or sauna after sliding on the slopes will also put you in the best shape to keep enjoying all the activities to the fullest!
Alternatively, you can switch the snow for steam in the Turkish baths, or for water in outdoor and indoor heated pools or outdoor hot tubs. What better way to stay warm and still enjoy the snowcaps?
FITNESS & YOGA
A blend of experiences designed for your well-being.
Whether you want to do some exercises to improve your skills on the slopes or want to improve your overall fitness, there are in-resort facilities for those looking for an extra workout. In addition to the fitness rooms, a wide variety of wellness experiences like Pilates, yoga, stretching and group fitness classes are offered at our mountain resorts.
