Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines Updated on October 30, 2024 Close Photo: Courtesy of Valle Nevado All-inclusive resorts are a classic choice for beach getaways in places like the Caribbean and Los Cabos, but they're gaining traction for winter trips, too. Not only is booking an all-inclusive ski resort easier than planning a traditional, à la carte trip, it could save you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. The many costs of a do-it-yourself vacation can add up quickly, explains Carolyne Doyon, the president and CEO of Club Med North America and the Caribbean. In contrast, she says, "Our all-inclusive ski packages are designed to offer guests true peace of mind, with lift passes, group ski and snowboard lessons, locally inspired meals, après-ski activities, and children's clubs all included." Certain Club Med packages include flights, making things even easier with transportation to and from the resort worked in. "We believe everyone deserves to have a seamless, hassle-free, and value-enhanced vacation," Doyon says. "So our goal is to ensure guests feel fully taken care of so that all they need to focus on is conquering the world's top slopes." If you're ready to try out the trend yourself, here are 11 of the best all-inclusive ski resorts around the globe. For more details about what exactly is included with each vacation, be sure to check the resort’s website before booking. Club Med Valmorel Chalet-Apartments, France Courtesy of Club Med Book Now At an altitude of 4,790 feet, the Valmorel's luxury chalet-style apartments are ideal for long-term getaways. Skiers have access to more than 100 miles of downhill trails in the Grand Domaine ski area, which includes the 9,291-foot-high Cheval Noir peak. There's plenty of fun for ski bunnies off the slopes, too, like hiking trails and a spa, along with a plethora of family-friendly activities like a kids camp and interactive shows. Triple Creek Ranch, Montana Courtesy of Triple Creek Ranch Book Now Also available to book at TripAdvisor and Kayak Live out your Wild West fantasies with a stay at Triple Creek Ranch, consistently voted the best resort in Montana by T+L readers. Spread out in one of its spacious log cabins, dine on gourmet meals, and, in the winter, take part in various snow sports like snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, and downhill skiing at the Lost Trail Ski Area — all of which are included in your stay. For a fee, you can add even more adventures, like dog sledding or a scenic plane ride. Club Med Quebec Charlevoix, Canada Courtesy of Club Med Book Now Nobody does winter better than Canadians, which is why you should head up to visit our northern neighbor at Quebec Charlevoix this winter. At this all-inclusive resort, guests can expect the usual, like included dining and fun family activities. There's also the added bonus of getting to ski down Le Massif de Charlevoix, a unique mountain that offers 53 trails, a 2,526-foot vertical drop, and gorgeous views of the St. Lawrence River. The Ranch at Rock Creek, Montana Courtesy of The Ranch at Rock Creek Book Now The Ranch at Rock Creek is all about ensuring its guests absolutely send it during their visit, which is why the rate includes two activities each day. In the winter, you can choose to spend your time ice skating, snowmobiling, hiking, testing your skills at the sporting clays range, and, of course, hitting the slopes at the Discovery Ski Area, about 25 miles away. You can also try out cross-country skiing on the Echo Lake trail, taking it as slow or as fast as you'd like. Club Med Alpe d’Huez, France Courtesy of Club Med Book Now If the first Club Med option in France wasn't doing it for you, try Alpe d'Huez, a cozy spot in the Grandes Rousses mountain range. Staying here will immerse you in the Alps not just with a fantastic view from your room, but mountain-inspired decor inside it, too. There's fabulous skiing, with a 155-mile trail network that includes the legendary Sarenne, Europe's longest run at a whopping 10 miles. After your day on the slopes, relax and rejuvenate with a spa treatment, swimming, or yoga. Ski Portillo, Chile Morton Andersen Book Now As South America's first (and arguably best-known) ski resort, Ski Portillo has a big reputation. The ski-in, ski-out resort in the Chilean Andes offers visitors the chance to ski through the stunning landscape on beginner, intermediate, and expert runs. There's also off-piste terrain for those looking to challenge themselves. The resort has a legendary après scene, so come ready to party. Just remember, ski season here is the opposite of the Northern Hemisphere's, so book a trip between late June and early October. The Ultimate Après-ski Guide — From What to Wear to Where to Go Club Med Pragelato Sestriere, Italy Courtesy of Club Med Book Now Tucked in the Piedmont region of Italy, this Club Med resort looks straight out of a fairy tale with quaint wooden chalets that will make you feel like an authentic mountaineer. Enjoy the pristine natural scenery in between runs down the slopes, which include freestyle, slalom, and ski-cross tracks. Afterward, unwind at the spa and book a warming massage to ease your tired muscles. Vista Verde Guest Ranch, Colorado Courtesy of Vista Verde Guest Ranch Book Now Also available to book at Hotels.com and TripAdvisor Priding itself on its "Western hospitality," Vista Verde Guest Ranch occupies about 540 acres of Colorado's Routt National Forest, with a dozen log cabins dotting the landscape. The ranch only allows a limited number of guests at a time, making it a prime spot to get some attentive all-inclusive service. A host of winter activities like backcountry skiing, sleigh rides, snowshoeing, ice fishing, and biking are included, but the ranch can also arrange a trip to the nearby Steamboat Ski Resort for a fee. Club Med Saint-Moritz Roi Soleil, Switzerland Courtesy of Club Med Book Now Also available to book at TripAdvisor Saint-Moritz Roi Soleil is as idyllic as they come, boasting an enviable location at the base of the Swiss Alps. The resort has more than 217 miles of ski trails to explore, along with a few other stellar activities like snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and swimming in its heated indoor pool, which offers stunning views of the surrounding peaks. Don't miss dining options like The Corviglia, located at roughly 8,365 feet. Valle Nevado, Chile Courtesy of Valle Nevado Book Now Also available to book at TripAdvisor Can't stand the thought of ski season ending? Then turn yourself into a year-round skier by heading south for the summer to Valle Nevado, a resort in the Andes. While the ski-in, ski-out property isn't entirely all-inclusive, it does offer half-board packages that include accommodations, lift tickets, and two daily meals. Another perk: You don't need to bring your own gear, since you can rent equipment on site. Just remember, this mountain sits at around 10,000 feet, so add at least a day to your trip to acclimate. (Note: Ikon or Mountain Collective passes will work here, so there's no need for additional lift tickets during your stay if you hold one of those.) Club Med Tomamu Hokkaido, Japan Courtesy of Club Med Book Now Tomamu Hokkaido stretches across more than 358 acres, which you can explore every inch of during your all-inclusive stay. Ski down Tomamu Mountain, dine on delicious seafood and Wagyu beef, and sip locally brewed spirits. Just don't leave the mountain too early, since guided night skiing is included at this Club Med resort. The Ultimate Ski Trip Packing List and Expert Tips for the Mountain
