CRANS-MONTANA, THE MOUNTAINS, TAILOR-MADE FOR YOU…<br />

Established in 1893, Crans-Montana is one of the oldest and most famous Swiss alpine resorts. Perched on a plateau situated 1’500m above<br />

sea level, facing the largest alpine panorama in the world (from the Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn), Crans-Montana offers Switzerland’s<br />

sunniest climate and purest air.<br />

Ski competitions have been invented in Crans-Montana in 1911 by Sir Arnold Lunn, a British Lord who created the “Roberts of Kandahar<br />

Challenge”, the first downhill ski race in history. In February <strong>2012</strong>, Crans-Montana hosted the men’s downhill ski world cup but the resort<br />

is also known for its wide choice of beginners’ ski slopes. In addition, the “Snow Island” area on the Golf Course is a ski paradise for young<br />

children.<br />

Culture within easy reach<br />

Crans-Montana offers an exceptional number of art galleries for a mountain resort. Popular culture is also important in this area which<br />
