Visitor Reviews of Crans Montana


Robbert Kalff from NETHERLANDS writes:

Coming to Crans now for over 15 years I still like to come as often as I can. Nr. 1 in Crans-Montana is the ski-ing. Perfect groomed slopes some daring of piste and a lot of ways to come down. Very good connections between the areas. The one thing I don't like is how busy it is in the high season (holidays) If you want to enjoy Crans-Montana to the max, do not go with Christmas and during spring holidays. Good shops with all brands. Good food in several restaurants. some nice bars. In recent years even the somewhat cold staf of shops and other places is melting and the service became friendly and correct.
I do like to come in Crans for many years to come.
