La Rosière France

We arrived late on Sunday evening and had to rush to ski room and restaurant to have late dinner around 9pm. One of the waitress appeared to have deliberately sprayed table cleaner onto my daughter and me. I had the drops on my table and my daughter had them in her eyes and she was really upset about it. It was such unpleasant experience to start our ski holiday.

Overall we had a great time. The room is being kept clean. The esf instructors are great. My daughter enjoyed going skiing everyday. I had a really good snowboard instructor. I would highly recommend.

I definitely would come back.

Club Med, all included and you don't want for anything. It makes things very simple. The hotel is beautifully presented, looks very classy and modern, yet still comfortable. It was spotlessly clean and a comfortable temperature throughout. Staff are very friendly and always say hello and are very helpful if you have a query.

The private airport transfers after an early flight with a child are a welcome start to the holiday not having delays and elongated coach trips on mountain roads. A Car seat was installed ready and we were given a chilled bottle of water. We had been warned of farmers blockading roads so were prepared for delays but he just took routes that avoided the problems which we were super grateful for.

Greeted on arrival and sat down with a drink to get everything explained and provided with SkiPass and wristband that opens room and ski locker before going up to the room where luggage is waiting by the door. Plenty of cupboards and drawers to unpack everything into.

Our Family Room had an entrance hallway with toilet and bathroom off and lots of storage. There are two separate bedrooms. One very comfortable superking bed and armchairs leading out to the balcony with a lovely mountain view and one head to head twin beds. Kettle, teas and coffee provided in the room but no small sized milk anywhere so we asked in the restaurant and were given a full sized one that we kept on the balcony (no fridge in room)to put in the fridge in the room. Bottled water was provided daily.

There is a TV in both bedrooms and had English channels, we even managed to get childrens films on one of them. We paid for WIFI on 4 devices and it was a reasonably good throughout the hotel.

Nice sized bathroom with shower over bath, Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash and Lotions all provided. Controllable towel rail which was great for drying ski gear (mittens etc).

We registered for adult ski groups. The Club Med equipment rental is super easy as it is all placed in your ski lockers ready for you, however you do pay through the nose for that convenience so we always pre-book with the local SkiSet and walk to collect the gear. We generally find it is a slightly better standard and about 2/3rds of the price. The lockers have plenty of space in them and the boot dryers are very good.

The shop sells all the usual things, clothing, gifts etc, all displays updated daily to feature the theme of the day

The food was to a very high standard with lots of choice for all, including children and vegetarians. Breakfasts were very good, all you could want for hot and cold selections. Each day there was a lunchtime BBQ where you arrive back which was a great selection of meats, salad etc. Makes it easy to just grab a quick bite and get back out if you don't want to take off your ski boots. There is a party vide to it with music playing.

Restaurant Lunches and evening meals had a good selection across hot and cold that changed daily with some standard offerings such as pasta, pizza, cold meats and cheese, salad bar etc. There always seemed to be at least one vegetarian and fish option. There was a section for children with fish, chicken, sausages, burgers, chips or some sort of fried potato. The desserts were beautifully presented and had a massive choice, far too tempting! The afternoon tea had a selection of sandwiches, savouries and cakes plus pancakes. There was charcuterie and cheese served before dinner along with cocktail of the day. Nice selection of drinks in the bar and the wine served in the restaurant was good. The young man who was working the area where we tended to sit in the evening with another family with a young child was very helpful and would set the table for us including cutlery for the children.

I used the spa and had a very nice massage. We used the pool on a daily basis. It was a nice size and there are sinkers and floatation aids available. There is a shallow splashpool that is a bit warmer. There are a couple of hot tubs outside that seemed popular. Nice sized sauna and steam rooms that were never too busy.

There was a games room with Fussball and ping pong tables that seemed popular with the older kids. Each night there was a family show in the theatre from 8.15 to 9pm then a bit later there was some other entertainment but we had returned to the room by then so didn't see any of it.

The kids club was well organised. Our daughter was in Petit Club so had a 2 hour ski instruction in the afternoon afternoon. We tried to watch for a bit as we arrived back just before 4pm but the instructors were very dismissive and sent adults away so it was a bit sad that we couldn't see how she was doing. There was an 'atmosphere' between the instructors and the parents.

We don't necessarily need instruction but like to access the adult ski groups to help orientation on the mountain, learn the best runs etc and also meet people. My group did a morning and afternoon session, my Husbands went out in the morning and returned at 2pm as mine was leaving again, so I made him a sandwich at lunch to give to him and he joined my group in the afternoon. My group was really sociable and we made great friends, my husbands group skied great terrain but there was limited English.

The hotel location is great for ski in and ski out and we were lucky to have decent show and blue skies most of the week.

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and felt very spoiled, it had a luxury feel to it. We had previously stayed at Serre Chevalier as a 3 Trident before it was refurbished and we thought it was great, but we now understand why some people were commenting it wasn't 'up to standard' La Rosiere was a real touch of class.

Club Med exceeded their high standards in cuisine, spectaculars and friendliness of GO’’s.
Skiing was great led by ESF guide Thomas in 3A. who guided us throughout La Rosiere an La Thuile. Weather superb

Club Med La Rosiere was our first ski trip with young kids. My wife and I are lifelong skiers and chose Club Med for the first time hoping it would offer us the best experience, both for our young twin boys and for our chance to ski. It delivered on all counts, exceeding our hopes in all areas. I cannot recommend it highly enough, and will be advising all my friends with kids to give it a try.

From the ski hire room, where Jesse and his team were very generous with their time and advice on equipment (we usually travel with our own gear, but with kids couldn't bring it this time, so took the opportunity to try out lots of different stuff), to the Petit Club where the team of Valentine, Tiphaine, Chloe, Rachel, Vincent, and Maeva took such great care of our boys that they didn't want to come home, we had a truly fantastic holiday and experience with club med (we didn't want to come home either!). I really can't speak highly enough about the Petit Club - it was a wonderful experience for our boys, and I can't thank the team there enough.

Having taken a break from skiing to have kids, we were a little rusty, and availed of the ESF lessons available, booking through the desk in the hotel. We had some excellent tuition from Luca and Nathan (I'd highly recommend booking private classes with them - they're superb instructors). We were also able to book some taster lessons for our little boys, with Andrea and Grace getting them up and sliding with wonderful patience and kindness - I can't imagine a better first experience for introducing our boys to skiing.

The hotel itself is modern and well equipped, the rooms comfortable and clean, and the food options are huge, and very good.

I also want to thank (and apologise to) the restaurant staff who were so kind and patient in dealing with the mess our two little chaos makers created!

I have thought hard about anything I could criticise, and am struggling to think of a single thing I'm unhappy with. The only comment I can think of is that dinner starts at 18:45, which was getting a bit late for our boys so they were tired and starting to act up. A 17:30/18:00 dinner time start would have been better for us, as it's a long day for young kids otherwise (Petit Club drop off is 08:30-10:00 and ski school start is 09:00). It's a very small thing though, and with so many people to cater for, I realise they can't tailor their approach to everyone.

The TLDR - we had a fantastic time at Club Med La Rosiere. It delivered and exceeded on all our expectations, with the kindness and friendliness of the staff boosting our holiday to gold star levels. I'd highly recommend it to anyone, but especially to ski enthusiasts with young kids. We're already looking into booking our next trip with them.

Our stay was amazing and fully met our expectations. The hotel is impeccably clean and well-organized—huge kudos to the cleaning staff for their outstanding work. The food was excellent, with a wide variety of options, though the protein selection could be improved, as some meats were not tender and lacked flavor.

We would like to express our gratitude to a few exceptional staff members who made our experience even more special: Peu and Ygor, always cheerful and ready to assist with everything; Memet, who greeted us at the restaurant every day with a warm smile and the perfect table—truly the best waiter; and Tiphaine from the Petit Club, whose kindness and professionalism stood out from day one. She kept us updated about our daughter and ensured her safety, giving us peace of mind while we were away skiing.
Thank you to the entire team for making our stay unforgettable!
