Club Med ski resort launches in Tignes

Club Med Tignes is the latest ski-in, ski-out resort to be added to the luxury operator’s all-inclusive Alpine destinations.

Located at 2,100 metres above sea level, it has 430 rooms, two restaurants, a swimming pool, spa and wellness area, as well as a wide range of winter sports including skiing, glacier hiking, snowshoeing, fat-biking, bob-sleighing, sledging and a first for Club Med, scuba diving beneath the ice of a frozen lake.

“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.”

Family-friendly selling points for the resort include ski lessons for children aged four and above, a kids’ club, babysitting service and supervised skiing and snowboarding for teenagers.

The all-inclusive concept adopted at Club Med Tignes means ski passes are given to guests on arrival, ski lessons don’t incur an additional cost and meals, plus all drinks, including alcoholic beverages, are included in the price of the holiday.

Club Med has had sustainability in mind while developing the resort, with the new property’s construction BREEAM-certified, its rooftops supporting 150 solar panels and a sustainability plan that includes the omission of plastic bottles in resort, a strict food waste reduction system and recycling process for old ski equipment.

Club Med Tignes’ interiors have been designed by Studio Jean-Philippe Nuel Architecture and Design, drawing on the heritage of the surrounding mountains and featuring collaborations with French street artist and snowboarder Lucas Beaufort.
