ShanghaiJune 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This summer, Club Med, the global pioneer of premium all-inclusive vacations under Fosun Tourism Group, announced that Club Med Beidahu Resort will open for summer operations for the first time on July 1. This opening not only offers guests diverse nature exploration and outdoor sports but also further showcases Club Med’s ongoing expansion of its summer sports vacation landscape—rediscovering the beauty of Jilin’s summer amidst mountain flowers and dynamic activities. As a resort brand simultaneously operating in renowned mountain destinations worldwide, including Northeast China, Hokkaido (Japan), Quebec (Canada), and the European Alps, Club Med is continuously expanding its summer mountain territory. Through rich and diverse experiences, it embodies the lifestyle concept of “vacation freely, move naturally,” providing guests with free, exhilarating, and exploratory summer vacation inspiration.
Beidahu Summer Debut, Unleashing Summer Vitality in Northeast China’s Mountains
Club Med Beidahu Resort, which will operate for the first time this summer, is located in the golden summer resort belt at 43° north latitude, with an average summer temperature of 20-25°C and a forest coverage rate of up to 70%. Rooted in the brand’s inherent sports culture, Beidahu not only continues the vitality of winter mountain activities but also creates a rich and diverse range of summer outdoor experiences. During their stay, guests can enjoy mountain biking, hiking, nature walks, and an Asian specialty mountain sport—mountain skateboarding—accompanied by the cheerful G.Os (Gentle Organizers). With professional instruction and equipment support, they can experience the speed and thrill of downhill mountain sports. Activities like treetop adventures and jungle crossings allow guests to reconnect with nature amidst forests and streams.
Beyond sports exploration, Beidahu Resort also creates a summer mountain lifestyle with a social atmosphere. Guests can participate in nature education camps and Ed Stafford Exploration Camp courses, learning skills such as wilderness survival, orientation, and shelter building in a forest environment. They can also enjoy a relaxed and vibrant summer evening social atmosphere through outdoor barbecues, sunset bars, and camping parties.
From Changbaishan to Guilin, Unlocking Diverse Mountain Experiences in China
In China, Club Med continues to create distinctive summer mountain vacation experiences based on different regional landscapes. Compared to the mountain vitality of Beidahu Resort, Club Med Changbaishan Resort leans more towards “forest healing.” Adjacent to the Changbaishan Biosphere Reserve, guests can experience Nordic walking, forest oxygen bars, and jungle exploration. Led by cheerful G.Os amidst primeval forests and volcanic landscapes, they can feel a more breathable and relaxed summer rhythm. Families can also engage in deeper interactive experiences through nature education camps while exploring nature. After a day of mountain exploration, guests can relax in indoor and outdoor hot springs nestled in the forest or savor local Northeast flavors, enjoying a summer mountain holiday close to nature in an atmosphere of mountain breezes and natural healing.
Among the southwestern mountain destinations, Club Med Lijiang Resort combines the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, highland camps, and Naxi Dongba culture, allowing guests to embark on an immersive exploration between the snow-capped mountains and ethnic culture. Club Med Guilin Resort integrates karst landscapes, cave studies, and natural experiences like “night firefly watching,” presenting the unique tranquility and wild charm of Guilin amidst its hidden landscapes.
Move Naturally, Encounter Diverse Experiences at Global Mountain Vacation Destinations
Beyond the Chinese market, Club Med is also extending its summer mountain territory to Hokkaido, Japan, and the European Alps. Since opening its first mountain resort in Switzerland in 1957, the brand has operated over 20 mountain destinations worldwide, each integrating unique natural landscapes and sports culture.
Sea of Clouds, Flowers, and Fields: Encountering Hokkaido’s Summer Hidden Gems
At Club Med Tomamu, Hokkaido, Japan, guests can take a cable car to the Cloud Terrace to overlook the spectacular summer sea of clouds in Hokkaido. They can also visit Furano to immerse themselves in vast flower fields, embarking on a more seasonally rich mountain exploration experience in Hokkaido’s unique cool climate and natural scenery. Also located in northern Japan, Club Med Kiroro Grand, Hokkaido, Japan offers the brand’s only grass sledding experience globally, extending winter skiing culture to the summer slopes.
Glaciers and Snowy Peaks: Exploring Alpine Mountain Inspiration
Unlike the forest and summer retreat atmosphere of Asian mountains, the Alps in summer showcase a magnificent landscape woven from glaciers, snowmelt river canyons, and alpine meadows. Guests can experience downhill biking, white-water rafting, and glacier hiking at Club Med Serre Chevalier, French Alps, unleashing their vitality in a more challenging mountain environment. They can also visit Club Med Val d’Isère, French Alps to embark on alpine hiking in the Vanoise National Park and experience the unique healing and relaxation of the Alpine summer through specialized yoga and spa treatments.
From the first summer operations at Beidahu to multiple mountain resorts across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, Club Med is continuously expanding its summer vacation landscape. The brand redefines the new generation of premium mountain vacation experiences through a mountain lifestyle that integrates sports, nature, healing, and social interaction. In the future, Club Med will continue to leverage its global destination network and premium all-inclusive model to provide guests with summer lifestyle inspiration for “vacationing freely and moving naturally.”
