Après ski activities
Après ski: where to find fun after a day on the slopes
Let’s be honest: a mountain holiday isn’t just about carving perfect turns down powdery slopes. While skiing or snowboarding is the star of the show, what makes the experience truly memorable is the magic that happens after the last run.
Après-ski is more than a tradition — it’s the heart and soul of a winter getaway, and
Club Med snow resorts
are renowned for taking it to the next level. From indulgent relaxation to lively social gatherings, here’s why everyone falls in love with après-ski at Club Med.
Après ski is well-deserved tea time
Holidays are made to spend time together and to make unforgettable memories.
After the little ones come back from their day at the Kids Club, reunite the whole family around hot drinks and snacks. At the resort bar, the amazing team of G.O.s will be delighted to serve you delicious tea-time snacks. After all, who could say no to a Nutella crepe and hot chocolate after a full day on the slopes?
As the kids are telling you all about the friends they made at the Kids Club today, reminisce on your great day on the slopes and enjoy the last slivers of sunshine. The sun may be setting on this beautiful day but there’s still plenty of time to enjoy après-ski activities!
