Crans-Montana

Crans-Montana are two neighboring villages located at 1500 meters above sea level on a sunny plateau. The municipality in the French-speaking Valais is very popular as a climatic health resort. Crans-Montana has a renowned ski resort and very many shopping facilities to offer. In summer it is a golf mecca. It offers possibilities for canyoning, paragliding or swimming. Five lakes are in the immediate vicinity. Above you will find the glacier plateau of the Plaine Morte at 3000 m above sea level (Photo: Switzerland Tourism, Cyrill Muller)
