The spot for "extreme sport" pros

It is not by chance that the Crans-Montana snowpark is renowned as being the finest in French-speaking Switzerland. Its varied and perfected infrastructures meet Olympic standards and extend over more than 100,000 sqm. Those in search of thrills will find them on the country's one and only Super Pipe 23, one of only ten permanent half-pipes in the world. Riders and freestylers can perfect their techniques on the two slope-style courses, big-air and Swatch courses.

In search of new sensations

Imagine yourself seated in a sled drawn by a team of huskies for an escapade on the Plaine-Morte glacier, the wind blowing on your face in a grandiose snowy decor where quietness reigns supreme. A unique experience conjuring up magic each and every time. Another possibility: discovering the resort from the sky. In a plane, helicopter, hot-air balloon, paraglider… taking to the air becomes child's play!

A place for relaxation and foodies 

Sports activities aside, those who prefer to track down new trends can stroll along the Rue du Prado for spell-binding window-gazing with luxury brands. Thanks to around 120 boutiques, everyone will find their niche. Crans-Montana is also the ideal place in which to benefit from the here and now. The most discerning gourmets can treat their taste buds in one of the resort's 90 restaurants. You will be spoilt for choice with typical mountain dishes, local produce, exotic recipes and gastronomic cuisine. And, of course, the Guarda Golf also proposes quality spa treatments and facilities to restore your vitality.

A dream for sportsmen for the day

Offering 140 kilometres of signposted trails, the ski domain offers breathtaking panoramic views. Fans can ski down the many slopes for all levels of ability or discover cross-country skiing on the Plaine-Morte glacier or directly in front of the Guarda Golf. The most courageous can follow in the footsteps of the finest athletes who compete each year in the World Cup on the dizzying slope of Mont-Lachaux.

Bliss for young and old alike

Bearing the label of "family destination", Crans-Montana is the ideal resort for wonderful holidays spent together. As well as essential winter sports on the slopes and countless play areas, the mascot, Bibi the Marmot, proposes a wide range of entertainment in different spots in the resort: dancing, giant games, treasure hunts, karaoke, mini-golf, 3D cinema, toboggans, bowling, climbing, ice-skating, horse-riding… All possibilities for exploring new ways of having fun with lots of laughter.

A must address for art-lovers 

Here, culture can be admired, heard, savoured and shared. The region is full of history and popular Valais traditions. Let yourself be drawn by numerous exhibitions of contemporary art on aborigines, but also workshops and encounters proposed by the Opale Foundation. Step back in time in the Museum of Le Grand-Lens, the Château de Vaas, or the Art and Collections Museum at the Bernard and Caroline de Watteville Foundation.
