Luxury Chalets in Crans Montana

Crans and Montana are in fact two separate towns, their centres a mile apart from each other. However, a number of low-rise buildings have merged the two towns together, with each centre retaining its individual character.

Crans is the more upmarket of the two areas with the majority of the luxury chalets and apartments. There’s also an abundance of designer shops to peruse, numerous gourmet restaurants for fine dining, and bustling bars and clubs to while away the evening. Montana is the quieter and more family-oriented part of the resort.

Luxury chalets in Crans Montana include various ski-in/ski-out chalets as well as those that are able to cater to larger groups with several expansive chalets sleeping upwards of 16 guests. The resort continues to expand as more visitors succumb to its charms and there are some exciting luxury chalet additions on the way in the near future.

Crans Montana offers 140 km of sunny south-facing ski slopes with the Plan Morte glacier at the top providing good snow conditions in even the warmest weather. From your luxury chalet in Crans Montana, you have access to the slopes from three main points - the Merbé/Cry d’Er gondola in Crans, the Arnouva gondola in Montana and Les Violettes in the middle of the ski area.
