Crans-Montana region

Crans-Montana is located on a mountain plateau on the right-hand side of the Rhône in the central Valais. Bathed in sunlight, the region offers a panoramic view over the Alps of Valais. Crans-Montana has everything it takes for nature lovers with its lakes and Plaine Morte Glacier. Not to mention all it has to offer the most demanding athletes with its ski area in winter, countless hiking paths in summer and its golf course, which each year welcomes professionals in this discipline to the Omega European Master. Below Crans-Montana lies the village of Lens at an altitude of 1100 meters, overlooked by the impressive statue of Christ-Roi. The Alaïa Chalet, a paradise for sports action fans, and the Fondation Opale for art lovers are two other highlights of the region. In September 2025, Crans-Montana will also be one of the host destinations for the 2025 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships, welcoming the Cross-Country events to the heart of the resort.
