Crans, in the Swiss canton of Valais, is one of the best ski towns in the Alps. It’s a little off the beaten path, but the place is not too isolated given that Geneva is just two hours away by train or car. Soon, a brand new ski-in/ski-out luxury hotel will open its doors here. The Six Senses Crans-Montana is perched almost 5,000 feet above sea level, with views of the Weisshorn peak. It’s best described as majestic.

The Details:

Six Senses is having another big year. Fresh off of opening multiple jet-set properties in 2021, the luxury hotel group is set to go big (again) in Crans-Montana. The new resort has 47 guest rooms and suites. There are also residential units that are available for purchase. Normally foreigners can’t buy land in Switzerland, which makes this extra special. For this development though, it’s one of the last construction projects able to offer residences for sale to foreigners. So yes, you too can own a piece of Switzerland to call you second or third home.

Crans-Montana is the Six Senses winter outpost where the name of the game is skiing. Enthusiasts will find 87 miles of pistes here. A 22,000-square-foot wellness center will contribute to the expansive and relaxing ambiance Six Senses is rightly famous for.

Amenities include a spa, a gym and fitness studio, a swimming pool, a sun terrace, two restaurants, and a bar.

Why to Go:

The resort is a ways from the bustle of the big city, but will fall right in line with the low-key luxury vibe of the Six Senses.

For a change of pace during your stay, buy tickets to the Caprices electronic dance music festival. The event takes place on two consecutive weekends — April 8-10 and 15-17. The annual event was hamstrung by pandemic regulations in 2020 and 21. That’s now a thing of the past.”No more rules and we are free to party like in the good old times,” the organizers announced.
