Go Back
Winter at altitude carries its own quiet poetry. In Crans-Montana, where the Valais Alps stretch in glittering white toward the horizon, Six Senses Crans-Montana rises from the mountainside like a sculpted extension of the landscape. Mornings break in soft rose-gold over the Weisshorn and Mont Blanc, and by the time first tracks curve over fresh powder, the resort already feels like a private gateway into Switzerland’s most cinematic season.
Perched directly above the main Crans gondola, the resort enjoys one of the region’s most privileged locations. A place where vitality and tranquillity meet adventure at altitude. With ski-in/ski-out access, high-altitude panoramas, and a design rooted in authentic Alpine character, Six Senses Crans-Montana embodies the refined winter lifestyle celebrated by the Winter in Switzerland with CINCH.
Six Senses Crans-Montana is built into the rock itself, with open terraces pushing outward toward the peaks, making the mountain both the resort’s backdrop and its identity. Its aesthetic blends traditional chalet warmth with contemporary clarity: quartzite stone facades, larch and oak woods, and natural fabrics shaped into modern, airy volumes. Throughout, sustainability remains central, from recycled and renewable building materials to an Earth Lab inviting guests into local environmental initiatives.
Inside, an elevated chalet atmosphere prevails. Large windows frame forest and mountain views, while bespoke furnishings and natural textures create an elegant sense of place. It is luxury, yes, but rooted in the authenticity of the Swiss Alps.
The resort offers 78 guest rooms and suites, along with a spacious three-bedroom Prestige Apartment. Each space maximizes light and nature: oversized windows, generous terraces of up to 21 m², and views that sweep from the final curve of the Chetzeron piste to the silent forest beyond.
Suites feature living rooms, guest bathrooms, and even private saunas in certain categories. Throughout, the Sleep With Six Senses standard ensures deep rest with handmade mattresses and breathable cotton bedding.
For families or gatherings, the four-bedroom chalet offers privacy with full access to the resort’s services. A secluded winter home paired with all the comforts of a five-star property.
After a day on the slopes, the 2,000-m² Six Senses Spa becomes a sanctuary of warmth and renewal. A vast indoor pool flows visually into a birch-lined courtyard, guided by a suspended wooden ceiling designed to draw the eye from interior to nature in a single organic movement. A heated rooftop pool and jacuzzi offer open-air bathing with mountain views, even as snow falls softly around you.
The spa blends modern and traditional therapies: ten treatment rooms, Finnish and bio-salt saunas, a steam room, ice fountain, and a yoga studio. Guests may explore seasonal wellness programs, meditation sessions, or integrative treatments that reflect Six Senses’ high-tech, high-touch philosophy.
The Biohack Recovery Lounge provides intelligent, fast-acting recovery tools, from NormaTec compression to Hyperice therapies, to soothe tired muscles and optimize natural processes.
At the Alchemy Bar, guests create their own scrubs or hair treatments with seasonal, organic ingredients, learning the healing properties of each component in a sensorial, hands-on ritual.
The resort’s culinary world is anchored by two contrasting restaurants.
Wild Cabin, an all-day brasserie with ski-in/ski-out access, draws from the wild Alpine landscape that surrounds it. Classic Swiss dishes, local ingredients, and a broad terrace facing the piste create a warm, relaxed setting for breakfast through dinner.
Byakko, inspired by the spirit of the Japanese Alps, offers a contemporary interpretation of Japanese tradition. Its atmosphere is serene, its cuisine shaped by seasonal ingredients and careful craftsmanship.
The Ora Bar & Lounge on the fifth floor complements dining with classic cocktails, seasonal bar bites, and a dedicated cigar and cognac corner overlooking the slopes.
Crans-Montana offers 140 km of slopes rising to a 3,000-m glacier, with sunlit runs, quiet forest trails, and even a renowned snowpark with a five-star Adrenaline zone. Guests can return directly to their suite via the tree-lined Chetzeron piste.The resort’s Alpine Lounge welcomes skiers back with warm drinks, equipment care, and drying services, while instructors and guides create tailored mountain programs for all levels.
Seasonal highlights include the Etoile Bella Lui Festival, Winter Golf Trophy, FIS Ski World Cup, and April’s Caprices electronic music festival. Each adding a cultural or sporting dimension to winter’s charm.
Six Senses Crans-Montana distills everything that defines winter luxury in Switzerland: natural beauty, refined design, holistic wellness, and cultural richness. It is a place where guests move seamlessly from slope to spa, terrace to tasting menu, starlit cinema to the quiet of a private terrace.
In the context of Winter in Switzerland with CINCH, the resort stands as a luminous example of alpine sophistication. A retreat where winter feels both timeless and freshly reimagined, designed for travellers who seek serenity, elegance, and a deeper connection to place.
