Most of the slopes aresouth-facing, so they get a lot of sun, which can be both good and bad. Youmight not get a lot of ice here, but the snow can turn slushy very quickly,especially in the spring, which is when I visited.
Crans Montana is a moreupscale and urban resort than others, and you will certainly feel more in themiddle of a bustling city than in a quiet, traditional alpine village. Thereare five-star hotels aplenty in Crans Montana, and some great high-end shoppingas well. Since the towns are spread apart quite a bit, a car may be a benefitfor families here, though there is a shuttle bus service that runs between thetowns and the slopes. When I visited Crans Montana, I did so as a nonskier, soI enjoyed a great snowshoe on top of the glacier – just one of many differententicing nonskier activities.
