Alpe d'Huez is the big, sunny, wide-open ski area, nicknamed the Island in the Sun, with long gentle runs that suit families learning together. Club Med's village bundles lift passes, ESF ski school for the children, all meals and drinks and the Mini Club, plus one of the best indoor pools of the Alpine line-up for the end of the day.
Our verdict
The friendliest Club Med Alpine week for a first family ski trip: sunshine, easy slopes and a great pool, with lessons and childcare that let everyone find their feet.
The rooms
Bright family rooms and connecting options sleep four to five, with the sunny south-facing aspect Alpe d'Huez is known for. Cots and bottle warmers are on hand, and the layout keeps a sleeping baby separate from parents winding down after a day on the snow.

Is Alpe d'Huez good for beginners and children?
Very. It has plenty of wide, sunny, gentle runs and a big beginner area, which makes it one of the easier places for children and nervous parents to learn together.
What is included for the children?
ESF group ski lessons and the Mini Club Med for ages 4 to 10 are included with the package. Baby Club Med (4 to 23 months) and Petit Club Med (2 to 3 years) are supervised childcare at an extra charge.
Is there anything to do beyond skiing?
Yes. The village has a large indoor pool and spa, evening entertainment and clubs for every age, so non-skiing days and tired afternoons are easy to fill.
