Spring Ski in April This Easter is a Must

Discover our top Club Med locations offering the best spring skiing conditions for an unforgettable April getaway.

Spring skiing

Thought skiing was an activity just for the winter? Think again! During this off-peak ski season where weathers are milder and fewer guests are around, skiing in April is easier on the wallet and better for your leisure time. Where temperatures are warmer and days are longer, you’re guaranteed more time on the slopes and less waiting times at the ski lifts. To maximize a spring skiing vacation, it’s key to choose the snow resort with the most ideal conditions. If skiing in April sounds like the perfect vacation escape, here are the Club Med locations with the best conditions.

1 - Ideal Conditions

Discover the Ski Area

High altitudes

The higher above sea level you are in the Alps, the colder the temperatures and the more snow there is. It’s as simple as that. Book your April ski trip at resorts that sit at 6,562 feet or above sea level or check out our NEW Resort, Kiroro in Japan with longer ski seasons that last till May. At this altitude, you should be good to go.

More practice time

With lesser guests on the slopes or with reduced waiting time at the chair lifts, you get more shred time on the slopes to practice those turns with wider spaces. More groomed lines

Perfect weather

It’s time to grab your T-shirt and sunglasses to soak up the blue skies and beautiful spring weather while skiing. Take your après-ski outdoors and enjoy the stunning mountain scenery alongside breathtaking ocean views.
