Crans-Montana

Crans-Montana is one of Switzerland’s most sophisticated ski resorts, a dual resort set on a sun-drenched plateau at 1,500 metres in the Valais Alps above the Rhone Valley, with one of the most exceptional panoramas in the Swiss Alps: a 180-degree arc taking in 22 four-thousand-metre peaks, from Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn. The plateau’s south-facing orientation gives Crans-Montana noticeably longer sunshine hours than comparable Swiss resorts, making it as appealing to golfers and hikers in summer as to skiers in winter.

The resort hosts the European Masters golf tournament annually on a course that ranks among the most scenically situated in the world, and Crans-Montana’s shopping street houses Swiss watchmakers, international fashion houses, and gourmet restaurants at altitude. The skiing spans 140 kilometres of marked pistes across a varied terrain that includes the famous Plaine Morte glacier, accessible year-round, and the challenging World Cup downhill course on the Nationale.

Luxury chalet rentals in Crans-Montana are among the most prestigious in the Swiss Alps, with private residences offering unobstructed Matterhorn and Mont Blanc views, ski-in/ski-out access on the plateau, and the type of discreet personal service that has made this resort the preferred choice of European royalty and financial elites for over a century. For a Swiss Alps experience where the scenery, the snow, and the standards are all extraordinary, private villa rentals in Crans-Montana deliver without compromise.
