High And Mighty

If chills give you the thrills, Club Med offers not just one but three snowy escapes in Hokkaido to tempt you.

Billed as the "powder capital" of Japan, Hokkaido has plenty of wintry fun to offer. During the colder months, abundant, consistent snowfall drapes the mountains in dry, fluffy snow that is perfect for skiing and snowboarding. Après ski means soaking in an outdoor onsen, and dinner is feasting on the freshest seafood and premium cuts of beef. It's no surprise that this white powder paradise is home to over 100 ski resorts, including Club Med's three resorts: Tomamu, Sahoro and Kiroro Peak.

With Club Med's signature all-inclusive programming, everything is taken care of, from all-day gourmet meals and drinks to ski and snowboard classes, lift passes, after-ski entertainment, and even childcare-taking the hassle out of vacation planning so you can enjoy a fuss-free getaway. On the property, all you need is your Club Med digital bracelet, handed to you on arrival, to open your room and ski lockers as well as make purchases.

An eight-hour flight from Singapore to New Chitose airport (with a layover at Haneda airport) and a 90-minute bus ride will bring you to Club Med Tomamu, a sprawling 145-hectare property. The scenic drive to the resort, with exquisite mountain landscapes and pine forests blanketed in deep snow, present a stunning prelude to a magical ski experience.
