Crans-Montana, Switzerland

Getting thereThe resort is a 2 hour drive from Geneva, with motorway almost all the way that ensures transfers are easy to both Crans-sur-Sierre and Montana. A fast funicular railway which comes up from Sierre provides a second transfer option. Sion Airport is 40 minutes away from the resort, and with SwissAir trialling flights directly from London to Sion during February, transfers look set to get easier than ever.

Resort informationCrans-Montana is one of Switzerland’s world-famous ski resorts, occupying what is claimed to be the sunniest plateau in the Alps. Facing south over the Rhône valley, Crans-Montana enjoys views of a spectacular mountain panorama.

The resort is comprised of two villages; Crans-sur-Sierre and Montana. Equally popular among skiers and non-skiers, the resort boasts a choice of lively bars and restaurants, beautiful hotels and high-end shopping. Skiers can enjoy sunny pistes and year-round skiing on the Plaine Morte glacier, sitting above 3000m.

Crans-Montana is a dual season resort with a large number of permanent residents and year-round appeal, which means it’s the perfect place for both second homes and retirement.

SkiingCrans- Montana suits all levels of skiers with a pleasant mix of open and wooded slopes more often found in Canada. The 160km of pistes are 38% beginner runs, 50% intermediate and 12% for expert skiers with wide open sunny slopes. The longest run is 12km, and nearly all the slopes enjoy full sun. There are some great mountain restaurants too including the stunning Chetzeron.

Winter Situated on a sunny plateau, Crans Montana offers its guests an impressive view from the Matterhorn to Mont Blanc. The 160km of slopes offer skiers and snow boarders challenging terrain, and there is plenty to do for non-skiers too, including taking advantage of the 60km of walking trails.

Instructors can be hired for Nordic walking, while accompanied excursions with a qualified mountain guide are also available. Crans Montana has 40km of cross country ski trails, 60km of groomed winter hiking paths and 30km of ice skating, both natural and artificial.

Winter activities include curling, mountaineering, snow tubing, sledging, heli-skiing, and sleigh rides amongst others, with plenty of indoor facilities for those looking for a quiet day off the slopes.

There is a huge selection of tea houses, bars, discos and even a casino, and the night-life is always lively and sophisticated.

Après SkiCrans-Montana boasts a fantastic selection of bars, restaurants and shops, with some live music and a buzzing apres ski scene. The high street mirrors the haute couture culture of Paris and Milan, from the elegant boutiques that make up the shopping to stylish cafes and superb food.

Of the two main resorts, there are more smart boutiques and restaurants in the glitzy Crans, while Montana is primarily skier focused. On the mountains there are over 20 restaurants and bars, including the stylish Chetzeron restaurant and hotel.

Expert’s OpinionAngela Turnbull, our Crans-Montana expert, has this to say:

“Crans-Montana is an up-market, world class, dual season resort with luxury shops and a championship golf course. Set on a sunny plateau at 1500m, just two hours from Geneva, this is the perfect resort for those looking to buy a second home in Switzerland.”

SummerBy far Crans- Montana’s most prominent summer sport is golf, as the home to one of Europe’s most famous courses. But for those who don’t play, there are plenty of other activities to keep busy, including 280km of hiking routes between mountain lakes and lush forests.

Crans-Montana also boasts mountain biking, horse riding, archery, rink-hockey and lakeside volleyball. The more adventurous guests can take a hot air balloon flight.

For those who enjoy more cultural past-times this is a great place to be. Unlike many more sport focused resorts, Crans-Montana also has great music and fashion festivals as well as visiting art exhibitions. As the resort has so many permanent residents, the active social scene continues right through the year.

GolfCrans is known for hosting the European Masters golf tournament every September, which is second only to the British Open for prestige and top names. The course is “by far the most spectacular tournament site in the world” according to Greg Norman and was redesigned in 1999 by Seve Ballesteros, and now boasts stunning scenery but fiendishly complex upturned-saucer greens.
