Crans-Montana, Switzerland

Crans and Montana are two neighboring towns in the Swiss Alps that share 140km of pistes in the form of the Crans-Montana resort. Well situated, the pistes you’ll ski, if you hire skis in Crans-Montana, present views of the mountain range that spans from Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn, primarily of the Valais Alps. Crans-Montana is an ideal holiday destination because the town is modern, with many shops, restaurants, lodging, and cultural activities to enjoy; however, when just off of the town streets you enter a more pristine alpine environment with stunning vistas. The skiing at Crans-Montana is widely varied for all skier types. There are plenty of wide and open runs for beginners and intermediates, with nearby routes that will interest more advanced skiers. The highest on-piste access is 3000m, upon the Plaine Morte Glacier.
