Why Club Med in the French Alps is the perfect winter family escape

“In the past decade Club Med has reinvented itself as a luxury offering”, said Michael
Howie. This is his story about his visit to Club Med.
“I keep my eyes fixed on the horizon as (0) the cable car comes to a clanking halt at
Pic Blanc. The 3,300-metre peak is the highest point in Alpe d’Huez, the sun-kissed
mountain pasture that is a winter oasis for skiers and a regular stop on the Tour de France.
To the east, the skyline is studded with magnificent peaks including Mont Blanc. To
the west, the Massif Central stretches as far as the eye can see. But we weren’t here just
(1) to appreciate the view. Our instructor, Marie, decided that her rusty band of skiing
intermediates were ready to take on La Sarenne…the longest black run in the Alps. My
legs and lungs burn as I concentrate on picking a line that will somehow keep me from
careering headlong down the slope.
Club Med is ski-in-ski-out resort, which means minimum (2) fuss and maximum
time on the slopes. My wife, two-year-old son and I arrived on Sunday lunchtime after a
two-hour transfer from Grenoble. We registered for a week’s ski lessons and staying at the
hotel.
Even if you’re not a ski addict, there’s plenty to keep guests occupied, with a gym,
pool, steam room and outdoor hot tub. A large lounge offers plenty of quiet spots to relax
with a good book, while films are shown on a massive screen.
It’s also a great place to meet other families, with plenty of space for children to
run around, making friends of their own while mums and dads enjoy a mug of hot
chocolate.
Meals are served in a huge restaurant on the first floor which, like most of the
common areas, is bathed in sunshine during the day thanks to the huge ground-to-ceiling
windows looking onto the slopes. The buffet has a vast selection that changes daily.
There's plenty to keep the kids happy too, including delicious pizzas, pasta and ice cream
counter.
Also you’ll appreciate (3) the cosy rooms and the unbelievably comfortable beds,
which are said to be king size but seem bigger. Every room also comes with a bathtub,
double sinks and a balcony for enjoying the beautiful alpine views or (4) gazing at the
stars.
 So Club Med is a fine example of that: a relaxed, super-friendly, family-orientated (5)
retreat that children and adults will be more than happy to spend the week in. “
