The Resort

Located 35 miles from Salt Lake City, Snowbasin Resort is one of the most accessible and oldest operating ski resorts in North America and will be home to Club Med's first Exclusive Collection (5-Star) resort in the U.S., joining a selection of Club Med's most exclusive five-star properties around the world. Influenced by the surrounding region, the 320-room resort will combine American luxury with Club Med's renowned French savoir faire, along with architecture and design touches that integrate elements from Utah and its treasured history.

With direct ski-in/ski-out access to surrounding slopes, Club Med Utah will be designed to appeal to every type of traveler, including families, couples, and meetings & events groups. Accommodations will include spacious 2-bedroom Deluxe rooms & Family Suites, while private Penthouse Suites will be available for those seeking added luxury. Club Med will offer its award-winning children's clubs from 4 months to 17 years old for families seeking a more tailored, family-fun experience. In addition to all-day dining available at the resort's restaurants and lounges, guests can also enjoy included group ski and snowboard lessons, lift tickets, and a heated swimming pool during the ski season. During the warmer months, there will be opportunity to explore more than 3,000 acres of surrounding mountains and valleys through guided activities like hiking programs, mountain biking and Club Med's trademark circus activities.

Destination + Exploration

Snowbasin is 45 minutes from Salt Lake International airport, which welcomes 395 daily non-stop flights from 90+ international destinations, providing accessibility to travelers from all over the world. The region offers more than 300 days of sunshine as well as "The Greatest Snow on Earth®", with access to Olympic slopes, ski runs for all levels, and one of the highest vertical drops in North America.

The project is expected to bring an estimated 400 jobs to the local economy as well as boost visibility for the region to an international clientele with Club Med's trademark all-inclusive ski experience. Guests can also explore Utah's abundant natural beauty with excursions to National Parks as well as guided visits to local galleries and saloons in nearby Huntsville and Ogden's Historic 25th Street.

The Club Med project is part of a larger master plan recently announced by Snowbasin for the mountain, which also includes additional beginner ski domains, new lift infrastructure and retail and lodging areas at the base.
