Plans · 4 days

Four days in Crans-Montana in summer, as a couple

In summer the resort lives between its lakes, the bisses and the high pastures: walk in the morning, swim in the afternoon, and the evenings are long.

For two, the pace is slow: a starred table at night, time at the spa, and places where you talk quietly.

The plan starts from Chetzeron, at 2,112 m, and takes in Le Mont Blanc, L'Ours and La Maison Crans-Montana among others. Every place links to its page, checked at the source.
