Crans-Montana

Nice wintersport area. Large ski area of 140 km. Not a cozy atmosphere in the village. A lot of luxury shops.

A beautiful and peaceful place to be , free of pollution as well. Had good walks around. Went twice but both in winter time but I'm sure it will be as beautiful in summer. If you choose to take the bus it is free to move around. Prices are bit higher than what I usually pay in Paris for clothes, shoes and food but you can also find cheaper and of good quality.

Perfect for adults and kids of all ages. Safe. Clean. Culturally interesting. A lot of options for sports, hikes, restaurants- walks, love it.

Beginner ski and snowboarders please read!! Do not recommend except if you are very skilled. The slopes are not clearly marked, and you must ski down a red intermediate difficulty slope to get to the bottom. They do not allow you to take the gondola back down! The blue beginner slopes are further up, but because you have to ski down red to go back to the hotel or car, many of us had to go down a slope we were not ready for. People got hurt. No day lockers! If you do not drive and park in their car park, you have to arrive from your hotel wearing your ski boots. If you were like us and rented gear, there is nowhere to put the shoes you arrived with. The people in town at restaurants, shops, and hotels were very kind. The view was amazing. Just the ski resort was really bad.

Wonderful place both in the winter and summer. Lots of activities like hiking, downhill skiing and mountain biking, tracking, golf, and more. Nice temperature in the summer around 25°

Great resort, but beware of the lift company's (CMA) dishonest practices. I am sharing this here because the Tourism Office needs to know how the lift company (CMA) is treating visitors. On December 23rd, I was sold day passes for beginners after explicitly being told at the counter that the beginner slopes at the top were open. They were, in fact, closed for the day. Despite CMA admitting in writing that their staff provided false information, they have refused a refund. They only offered short-term vouchers that expire before I can return to the resort. It is a shame that such a beautiful destination is tarnished by the lift company’s "take the money and run" attitude. If you are a beginner or a family, be aware that you cannot trust the information provided at the ticket offices. I hope the Tourism Office holds CMA accountable, as this lack of integrity and poor customer service reflects poorly on the entire Crans-Montana brand. Until this is resolved, I recommend families look at more customer-friendly resorts in the Valais.

Recommended ski location with more than 100km of slopes. The town is cool, full of high-end shops like Swiss watches and clothes, plus various range of restaurants. Coming to the slopes, the maximum height is 3000mt so really good but the slopes are facing the sun so the snow is worsening really soon during the day. Last but not least, I found the slope condition not the best even in the morning with snow melted (sometimes being on piste or off-piste is the same). Overall, good ski location!

Crans-Montana, you stole my heart and soul. I cannot wait to see you again. So many beautiful pictures, amazing moments, and breathtaking views.
