Four days in Crans-Montana in summer, with friends

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.

With friends you save energy for the day's thrills and a long table at night, without breaking the bank.

The plan starts from Chetzeron, at 2,112 m, and takes in Chez Elsy - Crans-Sapins, Tandem Paragliding and Merbé among others. Every place links to its page, checked at the source.
