Ask any skier about bluebird snow days, and they'll tell you about the best skiing they’ve ever enjoyed: cerulean skies, glittering white powder and pin-sharp visibility. Spring skiing gives you the best chance of a bluebird day, and our resorts enjoy some of the longest winter seasons in the world: in Kiroro, each year brings an average of 160 days of snow.

If you're looking for more than your average ski holiday, look to Club Med.

The term après-ski literally means "after skiing" – but it represents much more than just an evening relaxing in front of a roaring fire. While skiing and snowboarding are at the heart of your holiday, we curate an experience that extends beyond the slopes.

As the sun dips below the horizon, let our live band and evening shows – masterfully orchestrated by our professional G.O.s – captivate your senses.
