Discover Our Luxury Chalets in Crans Montana

Located on a sunny plateau above the Rhône Valley, Crans Montana ski resort is known for its panoramic views, varied terrain and high-end lifestyle. With 140 km of sun-drenched slopes and an altitude rising to nearly 3,000 metres, it’s no wonder that Crans Montana ski holidays are a favourite for those seeking both snow and sophistication in Switzerland.

Where to Stay on your Crans Montana Ski Holiday

Crans and Montana, the two main centres of the resort, are located about a mile apart and are linked by a long stretch of low-rise buildings. These modern constructions blend in with the stunning Alpine scenery, though the architecture tends to be more contemporary than the traditional chalet style. Despite their proximity, Crans and Montana retain their distinct identities. Crans is the more upmarket of the two, featuring high-end shops, luxury hotels, and glamorous nightlife, while Montana offers a more relaxed, youthful vibe.

Crans-Montana is a hidden gem in the Swiss Alps—the feeling throughout the town is luxurious, yet understated as well as welcoming, yet refined.

What Sets Crans Montana Ski Resort Apart?

History of Crans Montana

With a heritage dating back to the late 1800s, Crans Montana was first established as a health resort, known for its fresh Alpine air and sunny climate. Over the years, it has evolved into a leading luxury destination, while retaining the peaceful charm that first attracted visitors. Once home to Sir Roger Moore, the resort remains a favourite among those who value elegance, privacy and understated sophistication.

Crans Montana Ski Area

Crans-Montana is equally renowned for its skiing. With 140 km of south-facing slopes, it’s a paradise for sun-seeking skiers. The Plan Morte Glacier at the top of the resort ensures excellent snow conditions even into the warmer months, making it a reliable choice throughout the winter season.

While not as well known as St. Moritz and Zermatt, Crans-Montana has epic skiing and great restaurants. There's nothing like a long leisurely lunch at Chetzeron after a morning's skiing or unwinding in the incredible spa at Six Senses - the perfect way to spend an afternoon!
