Crans-Montana is located in the sunniest part of Switzerland, in the heart of the Alps, between the Matterhorn and the Mont-Blanc. Its large terrace above the Rhone-valley dotted with many lakes, the exceptional mild climate and a breathtaking view on the imposing southern summits of the Alps have made of Crans-Montana a top holiday destination for more than a hundred years, since the moment Sir Henry S. Lunn, a pre-World War I British tourism promoter in the Swiss Alps, launched the first ski competition in History in 1911.
Completed by a large and selective range of lodging facilities as well as of notorious gourmet-temples, the little city in the mountains is your place to be this winter!
