Great family resort, beginner to advanced slopes. Not many places for apres ski. Very civilised. A bit hard to get around in the buses. Also quite expensive

We headed to crans montana just before Christmas and had some incredible conditions. Although there are ample groomed pistes, one of the big draws of crans montana is the access to off piste and tree runs - some great powder fields just off the main pistes.
But there is plenty to do on the groomed runs too. I'd say one thing is that the signposting on the pistes is a bit hit and miss - sometimes there isn't signage or it's not clear, which can be annoying.
When we were there they hadn't finished the snow park but it's supposed to be a good one when it's up and running.
Also the dynamic lift pricing means you can get an absolute steal on the lift pass. We paid something like chf38 a day in mid December 2023.
The town itself is also good fun with a few bars and lots of places to eat and drink. At Christmas the lantern walk is also a really nice thing to do with family.
We loved Crans and would love to come back soon.

An epic Swiss alps resort with some great advanced skiing and off piste stuff with a great glacier.. the town has excellent food and accommodation although the night life scene can be a bit dry! A place for serious skiers I would say..
