Ski Slopes in Crans-Montana
The slopes here are best suited for intermediate skiers: they are wide and easy. For advanced skiers, there are a few trails—the descent from La Tza to Plumachy and the steep slopes in Bella-Louis. The most famous piste is the Piste Nationale; it’s fairly flat and offers a lot of fun for skiers, as it has a predominantly eastern exposure.

The Violette slopes meet the highest European standards. Direct access to the Plaine Mort summit is available. A very special high-altitude ski area is available on the Plaine Mort glacier; skiers will certainly be interested in the eight-kilometer “red” run.

The slopes near Crans and Cri-Dère are ideal for beginners.
Among the resort’s new features is a 25,000 square meter fun park, four specially designed picnic areas right on the mountain slopes, and a toboggan run and 50 kilometers of cross-country ski trails.
