Club Med Chamonix Mont-Blanc Reviews

Club Med was a revelation. Fantastic food and service. Everybody was extremely helpful ad accommodating and nothing seemed too much trouble. The food was amazing and plentiful with a good selection of house wines and drinks at the bar. The hotel situation was convenient for the town but definitely NOT Ski-In or Ski-out. Getting to the slopes was a slog. There is a drag lift outside the hotel to a short nursery slope . Everybody including little kids who had their lessons on that slope queued for at least 30 mins to get on it. Then you skied half way down took your skis off and walked to the gondola to get you up to the ski area. During half-term week this would take between 45mins and an hour! The only way back to the hotel was by the same gondola as the only run (a black) was closed. To get to the other ski areas you had to take a bus from the town square which was a very long way in ski boots carrying skis and poles. The lifts on the slopes were old with many drag lifts. If you're used to Ski-in ski-out and big connected ski areas this is not for you. Would definitely choose Club Med again but not Chamonix.

If you're unfit and lazy don't go here. Many people go on about having to get a bus, it really doesn't matter, the buses are so regular and it's a good time to strategise your day, everyone's in the same boat you just have to get on with it. The mountains in Chamonix look amazing, photographers go crazy in Cham. Going with a guide and doing Valley Blanche is a must from the top of the Aguille Midi, it's something you have to do in your life time. You're reward for a scary roped up entrance will be glacial sites, skiing away from any traffic and people and finishing off with a mountain train ride back to a pub in Chamonix, mountain refuge stop on the way for lunch. Club Med in Chamonix is a good base, very central and for those that like eating prepare yourself (try not to eat anything the week before). If you think you're the best skier or board then think again..... someone in Cham will have bigger skis than you, skied deeper, gone faster or jumped further let alone climbed higher... Do it!

After skiing for twenty years I found the best holiday I've had at club med Chamonix. The food was delicious, so much choice and very helpful staff. Our guide was the beautiful Britt, who could not do enough for us. She gave instruction all day with a smile and laughter. Lunch on the slopes in Club Meds own chalet was a great bonus for us meeting all the skiers from the hotel and enjoying a drink with Mount Blanc in the background. After a days skiing a few more drinks and snacks all included. A dip in the outdoor pool before dinner. And then entertainment with the hotel's staff. It's you again next year Club marvelous Med.

What a great holiday. Hotel was lovely, food delicious and staff were really friendly and made us feel very welcome. The skiing was quite challenging for a couple of beginners, but the inclusive full-day lessons meant that by the end of the week we were skiing confidently on our own. Little touches like hot chocolate and pastries waiting for us after a hard day on the slopes were greatly appreciated and made all the difference. A great holiday and plan to go skiing with Club Med again next year.

I have done several Club Meds and I think this is my favourite. The only ski in/ski out property in Chamonix! Great bar and terrace. The rooms are smallish but very nice. I had an awesome view of Mont Blanc from my bed. The new wing has an excellent pool that was warm enough to swim in while snow was falling. The food was unbelievable. I loved Lobster night. That's right LOBSTER!
