Crans-Montana

Few resorts in Valais have a history as closely tied to the rise of Alpine tourism as Crans-Montana. Spread across a sunny terrace above the Rhône Valley, the resort combines the neighbouring centres of Crans and Montana and faces the Valais Alps. Its mountain setting includes broad ski slopes and access to the Plaine Morte glacier. Golf is another established part of local life: the Severiano Ballesteros Course at Crans-sur-Sierre hosts the annual Omega European Masters, one of Switzerland’s leading professional tournaments. Crans-Montana also staged the 1987 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships. See how Crans-Montana fits within the wider Valais region by browsing webcams nearby.
