Crans-Montana sits on a south-facing plateau in the Swiss Valais at around 1,500 metres, giving it reliable sun exposure and a broad, interconnected ski area spanning over 140 kilometres of piste. Chalet Bénou is positioned directly beside the Les Violettes ski gate, one of the area's key access points, making it genuinely ski-in, ski-out without qualification. The resort centre — home to restaurants, shops, and the main lift hub — is approximately five minutes by car or shuttle. Crans-Montana is served by Sion Airport, roughly 45 minutes away, with Geneva Airport accessible in around two hours. The resort's dual-village layout means both Crans and Montana offer dining and après-ski options within easy reach, and the plateau setting keeps transfers between them straightforward throughout the season.

Sun-drenched luxury and spectacular Valais Alps views on a sprawling south-facing plateau.
Perched on a sunny, south-facing plateau high above the Rhône Valley, Crans-Montana offers breathtaking panoramic views stretching from the Matterhorn to Mont Blanc. Known for its upscale ambiance, the resort seamlessly blends world-class alpine skiing with designer boutiques, Michelin-starred dining, and luxury wellness retreats. It is essentially two towns, Crans and Montana, combined into one vibrant alpine center. The skiing terrain is incredibly varied, catering heavily to intermediates and advanced skiers who enjoy wide, scenic red runs. The resort extends up to the Plaine Morte glacier at nearly 3,000 meters, ensuring reliable snow cover and spectacular high-alpine descents. For freestyle enthusiasts, the expansive snowpark at Cry d'Er is widely considered one of the best in Switzerland. Beyond the slopes, Crans-Montana is a true year-round destination, but in winter, it comes alive with bustling après-ski spots, ice skating, and extensive winter walking trails. Whether you're carving down perfectly groomed corduroy, exploring off-piste zones in Aminona, or sipping champagne on a sun-drenched terrace, Crans-Montana delivers a quintessential premium Swiss ski experience.
Crans-Montana boasts 140km of predominantly south-facing slopes, meaning skiers enjoy long, sunny days on the mountain.
