CRANS-MONTANA
Dalla valle del Rodano (alt. 500 m) al ghiacciaio della Plaine Morte (alt. 3.000 m), la regione di Crans-Montana è baciata dal sole e offre una vista mozzafiato sulla corona di cime che si estende dalla Punta Dufour al Monte Bianco, passando per il Weisshorn e il Cervino.
Con laghi, boschi, ghiacciai e vigne, la regione offre tutto quanto gli amanti della natura possono desiderare. Se gli sportivi non rimangono certo delusi dalle numerose infrastrutture a loro dedicate, gli amanti della cultura possono sbizzarrirsi con la vastissima offerta di musei, eventi e festival.
Crans-Montana coniuga perfettamente i vantaggi di uno stile di vita cittadino con l’atmosfera di montagna, grazie anche a una vasta scelta di ristoranti – dalle baite a quelli stellati –, alla varietà di boutique e negozi, alle proposte benessere, ai divertimenti più svariati e a una vita notturna molto animata.

THE HEALING POWER OF THE MOUNTAINS
Crans-Montana has been a popular health resort for a long time. It all began 125 years ago, with the commitment of a doctor who brought his patients here for recovery. He was also instrumental in making Crans-Montana a tourist destination.
