We visited the Grand Massif Samoëns Morillon to test their all-inclusive approach to ski holidays
January 11, 2020 - 13:56 GMT Sophie Vokes-Dudgeon I can’t quite put my finger on the exact moment that we realised our week-long holiday at Club Med’s Grand Massif resort in Samoens was going to be amazing; the ease of finding our taxi transfer at the dedicated Club Med desk at Geneva airport was a positive start. The experience of checking in, while sitting down with a glass of champagne in the luxurious lounge, another.
We re-found our ski legs and had some fun but couldn’t help but feel a little deflated when we met up with the others for lunch at 12 – what if the lifts were shut all holiday? We were going to get bored? If it hadn’t been for this piece of supposed bad luck, I think we’d have pressed on with our plans to go it alone for the whole week of skiing. As it was, we decided the best course of action might be to give a lesson a go – even though our ages meant we would have to do so alone.
The other two were really progressing – in a way that they only would with consistent morning and afternoon sessions focussed on learning how to get down first a green – and later a blue and red slope, on a new mode of transport.

(Milk, as you may have noticed in every violent film of the last few decades, is the elixir of choice for serial killers.) Her followers freaked, not because of the murderous symbology but because she has four children, so surely she must keep some food in the house? Even though he house is a minimalist, Apple Store-like prison?
