Crans Montana General Overview
The
resorts we are referring to in this story are Crans, Montana and Aminona.
Crans and Montana are virtually geographical twins. Aminona is just a jaunt
down the road and does not boast any of the shopping and nightlife benefits
that its two partners flaunt. However many folks like it just like that, thank
you very much, and, what do you know, it is connected with and easy to get to
all of the major ski areas anyway. Isn't skiing what you came here for in the
first place? Lets have a look at what you might expect if you visit Crans -
Montana this winter.
Crans
and Montana, two adjoining villages above the city of Sierre and about 160 Kms
from Geneva and 280 or so from Zurich, combine in more ways than simply ski
lift compatibility. In order to give you some idea of this combination, we
will first have to give you a bit of a statistical rundown. There are a
whopping 40,000 beds available to visitors in the combined area. Conversely
the combined resorts boast a relatively modest
160 Kms of ski terrain. You see, Crans Montana is truly an up-market resort, and, as such, skiing is not the "life and death" must-do-at-all-cost pursuit that it is in many other resorts. You will find activities such as bridge and ballooning, curling and hiking, snowboarding and skibobing that will interest visitors almost as much as the skiing. And if that doesn't dilute the masses enough, there are always those who just want to be in the mountains in winter, relax in their first class hotels, and enjoy the fresh air outside.
