Crans-Montana

I think the biggest question is what is the transportation situation? How close is the nearest train station? There are plenty of sites to see like Zermatt (Matterhorn), Montreaux, Lausanne.

What do you like to do? Crans Montana is very outdoors oriented. So if you like to hike or mountain bike it is a fantastic place to be. I have not stayed in Crans but have spent time across the valley close to Sierre. PM me if you are interested in that region.

Re Transportation: I dont know how far the hotel is from a train station - but Im sure transport there could be arranged. Mainly looking for ideas of places to go and about how far they would be.

Zermatt is 2 hrs. by train from Montana Gare. Lausanne is 2 hrs. Montreaux is 1.5 hrs. All are great day trips.

https://www.sbb.ch/en will show you the way to Montana Gare from any spot in Switzerland including Geneva airport or Zurich airport. You will go to Sierre, then walk a couple of blocks to the funicular that will take you up the mountain to Montana. You can also get there by post bus.

If you tell us the name of the hotel, we can better advise.

There is a golf course in Crans-Montana. It is the home of the Omega European Masters for the PGA European Tour, usually held in late August.

Diane , I just booked our trip for next Autumn which includes a return to Switzerland for two weeks . I'll be happy to fill you in on the details . If you are around , I can call you this evening , Steve
