Crans Montana tourist information
Crans-Montana is charming, sporty, entertaining, culturally mature and trendy. Tasteful ambience amidst the most plentiful Alpine shopping in the world is what characterises the town's chic.
280 km of hiking routes extend between five mountain lakes and fragrant forests. Water as life-giver: Crans-Montana has brought the Alpine irrigation system that dates from the 12th century and the paths along its canals back to life again. The «Bisse du Rho» with its overhanging passages is a special jewel. But Crans-Montana also means: mountain biking, horse riding, bridge clubs, enjoying music festivals, visiting art exhibitions, archery, hot air balloon flights, playing streetball, rink-hockey and lakeside volleyball. It is home to a Culture and Congress Centre of international repute, which regularly hosts meetings of world-famous political leaders. Crans Montana is also famous for its holes - the ones on the golf course. The European Masters is one of the top events in the Swiss calendar. The amazing Severiano Ballesteros (18-hole) and Jack Nicklaus (9-hole) golf courses boast a magical backdrop: a panoramic view from the Matterhorn to Mont Blanc.
Situated on a sun-soaked high plateau, Crans-Montana offers its guests comfort and an impressive view of the majestic peaks from the Matterhorn right round to the Mont Blanc. On the 160 km of slopes, which incorporate 38 of the most modern cable railways, skiers, snowboarders and carvers will find a real sporting challenge.
40 km of cross-country ski trails and 60 km of groomed winter hiking paths offer a natural adventure in a snowy landscape. The friendly welcome and the complete range of cultural and sporting events will make any stay an experience.
