Intro
The hut of the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) with its old stone walls and red and white shutters creates a wonderful contrast to the glittering world down in the glamorous alpine villages of Crans and Montana. You will find cosiness and the finest Valais delicacies. Thanks to the direct connection, its guests are the first on the ski slope in the morning.
