The slopes offer fantastic gentle cruising, with lots of easy blues. There’s also plenty going on off the slopes, including an ice rink, spa, casino and cinema and more than 70 restaurants – from traditional Swiss to Italian, Chinese, and even Lebanese – as well as a good clutch of bars. Everyone will find something to do on a luxury ski holiday in Crans Montana.

This chic Swiss ski resort is a well-kept secret among those in the know. Formed by the merger of two small towns – Crans and Montana – on a sunny plateau above the Rhone Valley, this particularly sunny corner of the Alps has a very high-end reputation with some fabulous luxury ski chalets to match.
