Crans-Montana on Google Maps

Skiing in Crans-Montana, one of the most exclusive ski resorts of the Swiss Alps, allows us to observe an unique panorama that includes the major peaks of the western Alps such as the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc.
But it's not just skiing in Crans-Montana.
Thanks to the presence of the Plaine Morte glacier, during the year there are major sporting events and entertainment such as building igloos or cross-country skiing at high altitude or rally of hot air balloons.
Crans-Montana is also culture, as you can see by observing the rooms of the Foundation Pierre Arnaud, worldliness with the shopping streets at high altitude and curiosities such as the Museum of model railways.
Do not miss the visits to the wineries in the valley to enjoy fine wines produced on site.
