The
Specialist for Winter Sports Holidays to Switzerland for
Groups
The towns of Crans and
Montana are situated next to each other on the
high broad plateau at an altitude of around 1500
metres with a panoramic view of the Rhone Valley
and some of Switzerland’s best loved mountains:
Matterhorn, Mont-Blanc, the Weisshorn, and the
Dent-Blanche.
Crans-Montana has a rich skiing history and sits
in the shadow of world-class ski mountains. The
ski-lift improvements made for the World
Championships resulted in one of the most
accessible skiing areas in the world.
The ski slopes stretch from the high plateau up
to the Plaine Morte Glacier at 3000 m. Directly
beyond the edge of the forest the pistes are
broad and open slopes, ideal for beginners and
deep-snow skiers.
Advanced skiers will take the chairlift to La
Toula to find a really challenging descent.
Particularly popular are the broad carving
pistes and the valley descent down the Piste
Nationale which, at 12 km, is the longest in the
region.
