Crans-Montana Events

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:37:05 +0100

Not a single day without entertainment Throughout the calendar, throughout the holidays, there’s always something going on in Crans-Montana. A little show by street artists one day, the fun daily programme at the Fun Park Bibi, a huge show in front of cameras from all over the world another day, a competition you can take part in, or a golf tournament uniting the very best players around: Crans-Montana is a region on the move, all the time.

Crans-Montana, “Families Welcome ”

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:25:53 +0100

Crans-Montana is a fantastic playground for the young. Every winter, the golf course is covered with a white blanket of snow, and it becomes a kingdom for children and walkers. Bibi the marmot lives here, and offers numerous activities: snowtubing, sledging, maxi trampoline, flying fox, slide, swings, treasure hunt…

Crans-Montana, nature

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:14:51 +0100

The advantage of being in a small town is that there are masses of possible activities to do on your own, with the family or in a group. The advantage of being in the mountains is that you can do all sorts of sports, whether you’re a beginner or experienced sports fan. The advantage of being in Crans-Montana is that you can make the most of the town and natural surroundings at the same time, as well as both outdoor and indoor activities, day and night, in summer and winter alike. The most frustrating thing during your holidays in Crans-Montana is not being able to do all the sporting, cultural and relaxation activities on offer. So, inevitably, you’ll come back one day

Crans-Montana a small town in the mountains

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:58:32 +0100

CRANS-MONTANA : a small town in the mountains, perched on a plateau studded with small lakes, at the foot of a ski area with over 140 km of pistes, Crans-Montana is located on the sunniest hillside in the valley where the Rhône rises. It is this region with its Mediterranean character – stretching from the valley where the river flows, right up to the eternal snow of the glacier at 3000 metres - we are inviting you to discover.

Ski in Crans-Montana
