Crans-Montana

Crans-Montana Unmissables

Crans-Montana sits on a sunny plateau 1,500 meters above the Rhone Valley, offering 140 kilometers of south-facing ski slopes and the Plaine Morte Glacier. The region is home to the prestigious Severiano Ballesteros and Jack Nicklaus golf courses, which host the Omega European Masters. Cultural landmarks include the early 20th-century Château Mercier in Sierre and the alpine waters of Lac Grenon. For dining, local establishments serve traditional Valaisan specialties like raclette and fondue against a backdrop of 4,000-meter peaks including the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc.
