Two interconnecting south facing duplex chalet apartments in the exclusive all season ski and golf resort of Crans Montana. The apartments are set above the main village with breathtaking views across the Rhone valley from the private gardens and balconies.
The apartments together sleep up to 12/14 plus a cot, with outside seating areas and a private grass area; stunning views, situated just above the town of Crans Montana, known for its sunny climate, varied skiing and world class alpine golf courses.
These are much loved family apartments which we rent privately for a few weeks each year. They are self catered unless you bring your own cook.

Founded in 1893, Crans-Montana is known as one of the sunniest destinations in the Swiss Alps and the one with the purest air. French speaking, Crans-Montana is perched at 1500m, ideally situated on a plateau above the Rhone Valley with its world class and ancient vineyards. It has magnificent views across the valley to 19 of the highest peaks including the Matterhorn.
Crans-Montana is a paradise for skiers and golfers. The Omega European Masters takes place in late August every year. It is a lively town with most residents living there all year round, meaning the cafes and restaurants stay open - and it is well known for its restaurants, cafes (including the famous family run Taillens), shopping and culture. The world renowned Le Regent International school, now owned by Le Rosey, for ages 3 to 18 is in the town attracting many international families. The Crans Montana ski area is now owned by Vail Resorts.

Crans Montana is the perfect resort for all ages; young children can to learn to ski on nursery slopes while older children can explore the mountain. Experienced skiers can also venture further afield to Veysonnez and Nendaz to join the Verbier ski area. The Val d’Anniviers with its vast amount of off piste skiing is a 60 minute drive away.
During the ski season (snow permitting) you can ski from the door a short way down to the Signal ski lift and ski back to the chalet from Arnouva where the nursery slopes are situated.
Crans Montana provides skiing for every level of skier on pistes (and off piste) with spectacular views and often peaceful and sunny conditions. Being mostly the preserve of Swiss locals and Italians the resort is mostly free from tour groups.
The resort offers a strong mix of beginners’ slopes, woodland runs and a long glacier run down to Montana and cross country skiing. Ice rink (photo )
