Crans-Montana

The sunny plateau of the Valais, winter and summer

Set at 1,500 m on a wide, south-facing plateau, Crans-Montana is one of the sunniest places in Switzerland. Before you, the peaks of the Valais Alps; around you, larch forests, around ten lakes and ponds, and a resort that's lively all year round. Here you ski in winter, play golf in summer and enjoy great food in every season.
