If you're researching Club Med Serre Chevalier and wondering whether it's really worth it, I want to share my personal, honest experience staying at this all-inclusive ski resort in the French Alps.
This wasn't just a ski holiday - it was a genuinely joyful, seamless experience that reminded me why how a holiday feels matters just as much as where you go.
First Impressions and The Club Med Spirit
From the moment I arrived, I felt it - the Club Med spirit. Warm, welcoming, relaxed and social.
From the General Manager to the GOs (Gentle Organisers) and GEs, the hospitality felt natural and genuine. Conversations flowed easily. You could laugh, chat, dance or simply enjoy the atmosphere without pressure. It felt more like being welcomed into a big holiday family than staying at a resort.
Skiing at Club Med Serre Chevalier
