Luxury holidays in Crans-Montana
Sun-drenched slopes, mirror-still lakes and views all the way to Mont Blanc: even for a Swiss ski resort, Crans-Montana is an overachiever. Its merits haven’t gone unmarked; the region’s restorative Alpine air has been relished by the rich and famous since the 19th century, and today glitzy bars draw an A-list après-ski crowd. Come summer, switch the salopettes for golf slacks and take your pick of the four prestigious, peak-ringed courses, or take to twisting trails for a pine-scented hike.
When to go
Skiing season runs from December to April, but golfers, cyclists and hikers won’t be short of sport in summer.
