Inside Scoop

Reviews

Ethan Reed

Having explored St Anton and Andermatt last season, we decided to check out Crans Montana this weekend on the epic pass. It is definitely the smallest resort of the three but it’s great for beginner / intermediate skiers/ riders. The town has a lot to offer for food / beverage and a great atmosphere. As many have reported, runs on the resort are difficult to navigate due to a lack of signage but we’ve been able to find our way every time. You can see where Vail resorts is planning to build up more bar areas and you can see why they purchased Crans Montana. I imagine in a few years this will be a popular spot. For now, it still feels it tailors to local skiers familiar with the slopes but definitely worth checking out if already in Europe / if interested in a smaller resort with a great town.
