Club Med opens mountain resort in Japan

SINGAPORE, 4 January 2024: Club Med has opened the Club Med Kiroro Grand in the heart of Hokkaido’s Kiroro region, renowned for its record-breaking 21-metre snowfall and an extended 160-day winter holiday experience.

The project, completely overhauled and reborn in less than one year, is a part of Club Med’s commitment to Hokkaido ski destination, where the brand has been present since 1986, with its first Mountain Resort, Club Med Kiroro.

It was fully booked for festive weeks, thanks to vacationers from Asia Pacific, particularly Japanese, who have been loyal to the brand since it debuted in Japan in 1979.

Club Med president Henri Giscard d’Estaing emphasised the significance of Club Med Kiroro Grand in snow vacations, particularly in the beautiful region of Hokkaido, Japan, a perennial favourite among Asia Pacific travellers.

“The addition of Club Med Kiroro Grand marks a strategic milestone for our expanding portfolio in the world’s most desired travel destinations. We are excited to include another property within the region while keeping it distinctive from others. Following a record-breaking performance in 2023 driven by remarkable demand for our mountain Resorts, we are confident that Club Med Kiroro Grand will further reinforce our leadership in snow and summer mountain experiences,” he said at the opening ceremony of Club Med Kiroro Grand.

The 266-room Club Med Kiroro Grand has access to an immaculate ski domain, boasting 23 diverse courses catering to skiers of all levels, with pristine off-piste slopes spanning the Asari and Nagamine mountains. 

Ski and lift passes will be ready on arrival, ensuring guests can spend every possible moment enjoying the ski slopes. Guests can participate in group ski and snowboard lessons tailored for all ages and skill levels, overseen by dedicated professional ski instructors.

Pre-registration for the Winter 2025 holidays commenced on 3 January 2024, and booking channels will officially open on 30 January 2024. During this period, early birds can enjoy up to 30% discounts* on bookings for Club Med’s four resorts in Japan.
