Crans-Montana at a glance

This is Crans-Montana

Crans-Montana is located in the southwest of Switzerland, in the French-speaking part of the canton Valais. The place is a popular holiday destination because of its variety of summer and winter activities, its shopping and gastronomic offer and the unique panorama.

Discover Crans-Montana

A walk along the nine lakes is the most beautiful way to get to know Crans-Montana. Take a break in a buvette and let the scenery of Mont Blanc, Weisshorn and Matterhorn work its magic on you. After a round of golf or a trip to the climbing gym, it’s time for a shopping spree on Rue du Prado. In winter, the lantern path enchants the snowy landscape. In the evening, enjoy fine dining or Valais raclette in a “Cabane”, a typical mountain hut of Crans-Montana.

Winter paradise Crans-Montana

One thing in advance: Crans-Montana with its lakes, forests, and meadows is enchanting in summer. But here you can experience the Valais winter above all: with slopes and hiking trails up to the glacier plateau, cross-country ski trails and toboggan runs through enchanting snowy landscapes and touring ski routes for all levels. Also: discover a snow park and one of the largest Swiss ice rinks in the heart of Crans-Montana.

Golf paradise Crans-Montana

Crans-Montana is known for its first-class golf courses in a unique mountain ambiance. The Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club hosts the Omega European Masters every year, the most spectacular venue of the tour. Crans-Montana also offers a Golf Academy and a year-round indoor golf centre.

Around Crans-Montana

Venture onto the Ro bisse path, which leads from Lake Tseuzier along steep walls to Crans-Montana. After a mountain tour to Bella Lui, enjoy a fondue at Violette’s Hut with an overnight stay and sunrise. Other popular destinations include the Saint-Léonard subterranean lake and the Pfyn-Finges Nature Park with the winegrowing village of Salgesch.
