Crans-Montana

Skiing is just the tip of the ice-berg... Close your eyes and imagine you are standing on a sunny plateau at 1500 m above the Rhone Valley. In a place where a vast network of marked pistes and walking trails can bring you higher and higher, right up to 3000 m and the start of eternal snow. Each winter, Crans-Montana's famous golf course is transformed into a fantastic children's playground and this modern holiday resort offers skiing, sledging and snowtubing, ice-skating and snowshoeing. This is Crans-Montana - guaranteed winter fun for all, young and old!
