Exciting news from France’s ski scene, where The Club Med Val Thorens, slated to open December 14, is now accepting reservations.
The resort will have doorstop access to the highest and largest ski domain in the world, The Three Valleys in the French Alps, at an altitude of 7,545 feet with 372 miles of ski slopes. (Good to know: The Val Thorens ski domain was named “World’s Best Ski Resort,” “Most Innovative Ski Resort in Europe” and “France’s Best Ski Resort” in the November 2013 World Ski Awards.)
Guests of Club Med Val Thorens will have all ski and snowboard equipment prepared and placed in their personal locker prior to arrival, as well as online subscription to ski and snowboard classes. Tech touches will include a specialized resort app for a mobile check-in, interactive screens in-room, information screens throughout and Wi-Fi throughout the slopes. (Other participative digital experiences will include a social jukebox to create a resort playlist, an innovative photo booth and kinetic dancing.)
Rates for the all-inclusive ski experience at Club Med Val Thorens start from $303 per person per night based on double occupancy including accommodation, meals and beverages, ski passes with lift tickets, ski instruction for all experience levels, select activities and entertainment. The resort has 384 rooms (starting from 248 square feet), including 12 deluxe rooms, five junior suites and six suites.
Dining Options
Club Med Val Thorens has a new catering concept that lets guests dine throughout the day in three distinctive dining spaces. Two Michelin-starred chef Edouard Loubet, who is originally from Val Thorens, is creating the dinner menu for the resort’s concept restaurant, Epicurious, with chef Thierry Van Rillaer and his team taking the helm in the kitchen.
In the “Comptoir Gourmand,” lunches and dinners will consist of “hearty mountain-style sandwiches,” fresh soup of the day and regional specialties, as well as local authentic mountain recipes. In the afternoons, guests can warm up with teas, coffees and other comforting hot drinks at the “Bar tout chaud.” “La Cave a Vins” will be the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine, a pre-dinner drink, or creative tapas served from street food stalls.
Sports & Activities
Beyond skiing, guests can also go tobogganing and paragliding, or even speed riding and mountain biking on ice. Après-ski, guests will find many options for relaxing and rejuvenating, including an indoor climbing wall and live entertainment, concerts and light shows.
