Ski holidays Crans Montana - sunny pistes and lively atmosphere!

Crans Montana

The renowned and popular resort of Crans-Montana is situated in an exposed location on a sunny plateau (1,500 metres), which offers you a wonderful panorama of the Matterhorn, Mont Blanc and the Valais mountains. The Alpine World Ski Championships were held here in 1987 and since then the varied ski area at the foot of the Plaine Morte glacier has regularly hosted winter sports competitions. To this day, Crans-Montana is a magnet for a colourful and international audience and presents itself as a lively place that offers guests an attractive range of leisure activities. Over 120 boutiques and shops line the pretty streets. Art galleries, sports shops, fashion stores and numerous shops selling local products and handicrafts offer ideal conditions for an extensive shopping spree. There is a wide range of leisure activities on offer: paragliding, sledging, ice skating, cross-country skiing and curling are just as much a part of the programme as relaxing spa treatments. In the local restaurants, bars and clubs you can round off your holiday in a relaxed and entertaining way.

Rhône Valley

The lovely Rhone Valley is located in Switzerland, stretching from the Rhône glacier right down to Lake Geneva. It's landscape is especially beautiful, and it offers an amazing variety of flora and fauna. Within the mild climate of the lower regions wine, fruit and vegetables are perfectly suited to grow here, whilst the surrounding 4,000-metres peaks have been turned into fantastic ski areas, attracting tourist from all over. The river Rhône is the heart of the valley, giving it it's very own flair - no matter at which time of the year. Deeply crevassed side valleys have created a fascinating landscape over a course of millions of years.
