About Crans Montana
A large, popular, snow-filled Swiss resort.Crans Montana FAQs
What is the skiing like in Crans Montana for beginners?
Crans Montana is well suited to beginners and there are numerous gentle green and blue slopes, notably in the Merbé and Arnouva areas. Beginners can comfortably build their skills here, and when the lower slopes have less snow, the higher-altitude areas, such as Petit Mont Bonvin have some easy blue runs.
What is the skiing like in Crans Montana for intermediate?
Intermediate skiers are in for a treat in Crans Montana. The resort, with its vast stretches of red pistes, like those around Les Violettes and the Bellalui area, offers ample opportunities for skiers to challenge and improve their skills. With the efficient and modern lift system, intermediates can easily explore the breadth of Crans and Montana.
What is the skiing like in Crans Montana for experts?
While Crans Montana might be known for its sun and scenery more than its extreme slopes, expert skiers will not be disappointed. The challenging terrain around the Piste Nationale and the off-piste areas near the Bellalui summit attracts the more adventurous skiers. Powderhounds can also enjoy some exhilarating off-piste runs after significant snowfall, in particular through some of the forests lower down.
When is the best time to ski in Crans Montana?
Crans Montana is generally open from early December till mid-April. Despite the low altitude, the resort's tree-lined runs can retain snow well, even in warmer conditions. Late January or early March provides a good balance of great snow conditions and fewer crowds.
