About Crans-Montana
Crans-Montana sits on a plateau about 1,500 metres up, above Sierre in French-speaking Valais. The municipality was formed in 2017 from Chermignon, Mollens, Montana and Randogne, so the resort takes in several former communities rather than one centre. Golf-Club Crans-sur-Sierre has four courses and hosts the Omega European Masters each September. A walk past nine lakes is the classic summer outing. In winter the ski area has 140 km of pistes, up to the Plaine Morte glacier. The homes sit within a couple of kilometres of each other, mostly sleeping around four. Some have a pool or a sauna, and many have a fireplace.
Is Crans-Montana right for you?
- Best for
- Golfers and relaxed skiers wanting a sunny plateau with views
- Not for you if
- You want a small village feel, since this is a town of around ten thousand formed from four former municipalities.
