On December 14th, we stayed at Club Med Les Arcs Panorama.
We arrived for an extended family vacation — my partner and our children, my parents, my brother and his family, and my sister.
For all of us, this was our very first ski holiday, and the excitement was huge.
We arrived during the first week of the season, and from the very first moment, everything was incredibly professional, welcoming, and warm.
During this week, many people truly entered our hearts — and to me, that says everything.
First and foremost, the Club’s manager deserves special mention. He is so welcoming, kind, and always smiling. There was hardly a place we didn’t see him — on the ski slopes, welcoming guests in the dining room, leading evening activities, or sitting and eating with his team. Everything he did carried such calm presence, as if he were peacefully conducting a magnificent orchestra that creates an unforgettable melody.
A particularly wonderful team member was Bar — service-oriented, kind, and highly professional.
Our youngest daughter attended the Mini Club, and I must especially mention Hussein (“Couscous”). Even though he doesn’t speak Hebrew, he charmed all the children in the most beautiful way. He has an incredible approach, is warm and attentive, and truly knows how to engage children and make them feel at home. He is a real asset.
Alongside him, we were fortunate to meet Maya, Daria, Inbal, and Neta, whom our daughter absolutely adored and enjoyed spending time with.
Our three sons learned to ski very quickly thanks to the ski instructors, whose approach to children is perfectly adapted — encouraging, fun, and supportive.
I would also like to highlight Victor, an exceptional instructor who taught our boys in an amazing way and also joined us on our final private family ski tour. With him, we felt safe and truly in good hands.
If you are a beginner, it’s important to join the beginners’ lessons on the first day, as the groups progress daily. If you miss this, you will need to catch up with private lessons, which must be booked separately at the ski reception.
During the first days, my father, my partner, my brother, my sister, and my sister-in-law all learned to ski in the beginners’ group with the amazing Aurélien - always with a smile and an incredible approach to both people and skiing 🙂
He managed to guide everyone both individually and as a group in a truly inspiring way. He also joined us for a family ski tour on the last day of our vacation. On a personal level, he helped me overcome a less pleasant skiing experience — all with humor, kindness, and wonderful support. Thanks to him and Victor, we gained a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I personally had the privilege of taking private lessons with the phenomenal instructor Lucas Zielinski. As a complete beginner, he taught me the basics with incredible patience, great spirit, professionalism, and a wonderful approach to people and to life — always with a big smile - he is the best :)
I highly recommend learning with him.
Regarding the food:
I personally enjoyed the food very much and found it varied and well presented. That said, not everyone in our group connected with it in the same way or always found options that suited their personal taste. Overall, the quality was high, but preferences naturally vary.
The rooms:
The rooms offer generous closet space for ski clothing and equipment.
We stayed in connecting rooms, and the storage space made organization and morning preparations much easier.
The view from the window was unreal.
We all returned from this vacation on a complete high ❤️
The scenery is breathtaking, the atmosphere is truly special, and I am deeply grateful for having discovered a whole new world in this beautiful place.
