Welcome to the oh-so-chic ski resort of Crans-Montana in Switzerland. Your first-class ticket to skiing paradise begins with spectacular views over the Rhône Valley, the Matterhorn, and Mont Blanc.
Seasoned skiers swoosh down cruisey blues and reds. And thrill-seekers put their skills to the test down steely blacks and off-piste routes. Glide past frozen lakes on the dazzling cross-country course. Or head to 'Snow Island' to learn the basics. Phew!
Need a break after all of that? Meet up with the clan at a swanky mountain hut, relax on the sun terrace, and enjoy a glass of fizz. Proscht!
NEW TRAIN TRANSFER OPTION - you can now transfer by train from the airport, for a more environmentally friendly (and often cheaper) option. Win win!
If bluebird days are high on your wishlist, you're in luck. South-facing Crans-Montana enjoys over 300 days of glorious sunshine a year. Soak up those rays!
This doesn't mean the snow suffers, though. With altitudes soaring up to 3000m and snow-making cannons on standby, coverage is pretty decent throughout the season. That said, January and February tend to be the snowiest months.
Highlights in the Crans-Montana events calendar include the Etoile Bella Lui, an enchanting light festival in December, and the Women's FIS Ski World Cup in February.
