Skiing in Crans-Montana: Epic Pass & 2027 World Championships Guide
Crans-Montana sits on a plateau at about 1,500 m facing due south, which means sunshine, long lunches and a panorama of the Valais Alps from the Matterhorn to Mont Blanc. In February 2027 the skiing world comes here for the World Championships.
The mountain
Wide, cruisy runs ideal for intermediates, with the Plaine Morte glacier at the top for higher-altitude skiing. Off the slopes: golf-course cross-country loops, sunny terraces and two villages full of restaurants.
