Crans Montana

The Alpine Sanctuary of Crans-Montana

Perched on a sun-drenched plateau in the Rhône Valley, Crans-Montana is a rarity: a destination that harmoniously blends a modern, high-altitude lifestyle with the raw majesty of the Valaisan Alps. At 1,500 metres, the twin villages of Crans and Montana offer a privileged perspective, where world-class infrastructure meets an awe-inspiring natural landscape. This is a resort of understated luxury, defined by its architecturally significant chalets, vibrant apres-ski scene, gastronomic excellence, and curated shopping. A destination for those who return, season after season.

While its legacy is rooted in championship golf against a backdrop of dizzying peaks, Crans-Montana’s alpine credentials are equally compelling. The Plaine Morte glacier, at 3,000 metres, ensures expert-level skiing from November, offering a snow-sure sanctuary with a panoramic vista stretching from the Matterhorn to Mont Blanc.

The Domain

One hundred and forty kilometres of pistes artfully traverse four distinct sectors, catering to snowboarders and skiers of every inclination. Over thirty lifts provide seamless access, while wooded runs offer both sheltered skiing and enchanting scenery. The presence of a dedicated snow park and authentic mountain restaurants makes it a destination that truly caters to the entire family. Beyond the downhill slopes, forty kilometres of cross-country trails and sixty kilometres of winter hiking paths invite a different pace of discovery.

Beyond the Slopes

The Crans-Montana portfolio of pursuits is extensive. From mountaineering and heli-skiing to the serenity of a hot air balloon flight, every adventure is catered for. A dedicated adventure park ensures younger guests are captivated with sledging, tubing, and carousels. Meanwhile, adults can retreat to world-class spas, the ice rink, or a comprehensive sports complex featuring tennis and squash courts, a golf simulator, and bowling.

The Summer Season

Summer reveals a different rhythm. The resort's equestrian and golfing traditions come to the fore, culminating in the prestigious Omega European Masters. For a change of pace, the museum of miniature trains in Montana offers a moment of charm, while the legendary towns of the Swiss Riviera—the romance of Vevey, the grandeur of Montreux with its Chillon Castle, the vibrancy of Lausanne—are all just a thirty-minute journey aboard Switzerland's efficient rail service.

Your Dolce Villa Chalet in Crans-Montana

The chalets, hotels, and residences are strung along the length of Crans and Montana, connected by a constant flow of ski buses that make exploring the entire resort effortless.

Crans is the vibrant heart, home to the majority of the region's most exceptional chalets and apartments. Here, you will find cobbled streets lined with boutiques, sophisticated bars, gastronomic restaurants, and nightlife. Montana, in contrast, offers a more serene atmosphere, often preferred by families seeking a tranquil alpine retreat.

Our portfolio features a selection of exceptional chalets, each offering the coveted ski-in/ski-out access and comprehensive amenities for diverse leisure. These properties masterfully balance absolute privacy with immediate proximity to the resort's attractions, comfortably accommodating groups of up to 16.
