CRANS-MONTANA FAMILY SKIING

Switzerland's Sunniest Resort, Perfect for Families

Crans-Montana is one of the sunniest ski resorts in Switzerland, perched on the south facing slopes above Sierre, this certified «Family Destination» is the perfect place to spend family time in every season. 


The mountain is a beginners & intermediate skier’s paradise, offering many options of blue and green slopes for easy learning near the famous golf course (home to the European Master’s). “Snow Island” is the family meeting place in winter, where snow-tubing, drag lifts and a magic carpet welcome beginner skiers and sledders.

There are also intermediate slopes at altitude at the top of the Arnouva gondola – free to everyone. For more advanced skiers, the Plaine-Morte cable car brings you to the top of the ski resort at 2927m, with stunning 360° degrees views of the surrounding mountains, glaciers and the Rhône Valley far below, and challenging runs back to the base.

Plenty of non-skiing activities are also offered year-round: visit to a local cheese-maker, indoor climbing park, dog sledding, Swiss Model Railway Foundation (a historic collection representing 150 years of Swiss railways), ice skating, and swimming pools.

 

With a wide array of luxury hotels and chalet options, as well as renowned gastronomic opportunities both in town and on the mountain, Crans-Montana provides an incredible base for an introduction to skiing in the Alps.

  • "I would have to say that Verbier and Zermatt might be the best places I have ever ridden a mountain bike, and I couldn't imagine going without the help of Epic Europe's guides. It was a dream trip for sure." - B.S., PA USA
  • "A day of heliskiing in Italy culminated with a sunset run off the Breuil saddle of the Matterhorn - one of the most thrilling runs of my life - and we left our tracks in a place where they remained for a week afterward, reminding us of the best day of skiing in our life!" - WG, CT USA
  • "I have done trips in the Alps and surrounding regions with Epic Europe for the past 4 years, and every one has been unique and surpassed the last. The experiences that they deliver due to their personal relationships are a window into the real life in these incredible locations, and they share these friendships with us." - K.B., CT USA
  • “The team at Epic Europe created the most incredible trip for us, where everything came together seamlessly, and we never had to think about what came next - it just magically happened as if it was meant to be. That takes real talent, and they make it look easy." - B.N., WY USA
  • "Our family spent last Christmas in Zermatt on a bespoke Epic Europe ski trip. The special thought and care that they put into our holiday made it our best yet." - L.M.; CA USA
  • "Hiking in the Alps has always been on my bucket list, but I wasn't sure that a typical trip was my style. Epic Europe designed a custom route for our group, staying in the best little inns and hotels, and we felt like we had the trails to ourselves. I will come back again and again to explore new trails with their guides every year that I can!" - R.B., NY USA
  • "Epic Europe's custom road biking trip that they put together for my buddy's bachelor party was great - the right combination of killer rides, great hotels, and outstanding restaurants. Great guides, and overall a perfect trip." - A.S., London UK
  • "Epic Europe has coordinated several corporate events for us over the past 5 years, and I cannot imagine a more professional operation to handle all of the details. From a team-building event for 50 people in a 17th-century castle atop a mountain pass, to marketing conferences and catalog shoots, their knowledge of the best locations in the Alps is second-to-none, and they are as good as it gets at being creative." - E.P., Lugano CH
