We update Hotel Crans Ambassador's details often, but facilities do change. e.g. some extras listed by the supplier as "free" or included might only be for the first time you use them, or for one time per party, then charged for further use. If any specific feature is essential to your holiday, make sure you ask us to confirm the details of it before you book your holiday.

Crans Montana is formed of two towns - Crans-sur-Sierre and Montana - which were merged in the 60s to form the ski resort we know today. Crans is the more fashionable, with shops like Cartier and Gucci lining the streets while with a more down-to-earth vibe, Montana has livelier après ski and cheaper places to eat. The resort itself is less Swiss chocolate box and more a mix of different architecture but once you’re out on the mountain you’ll enjoy some incredible scenery: high up on a sun-drenched plateau...
The four main lifts that take you up to the different parts of the mountain are accessible via the local ski bus. Children and complete novices will learn the basics in the ‘Snow Island’ area – which serves as the golf course in the summer months and has some lovely gentle nursery slopes. The magic carpet here is perfect for little children, and much easier to use than a drag lift if you are a total novice. The Discovery area has a beginners only ‘Secure’ run near the Verdets lift, and there’s also a fu...
The après is laid back and quiet but with over 130 restaurants and bars and 3 nightclubs, there’s still lots to do. Zerodix (at the end of the blue Crans piste by the Cry D’Er lift station) is a hotspot for lively après ski drinks and snacks. New additions include 180 degrees at the Crans Ambassador Hotel (you can ski to it) and the Memphis Bar and Lounge in Crans. For a bit of insider knowledge about the local tipples, visit Ratatouille for wine tastings and Brasserie La Marmotte to sample the local b...

"Splendid"

Family party, Gloucestershire
5/ out of 5
A splendid week, we would go back. The service at the Ambassador is superb and we thought that the concierge was excellent. We liked the facilities and used the pool most nights. The only thing I’d say is that it would have only been properly ski in, ski out earlier in the season – they scooped up the snow on the way down to put a new lift in, so we couldn’t ski back (visited late March). The route down is a red run so you have to be a confident skier, but you can always come back by the cable car. If you just want to go straight up the mountain and ski it’s great, if you want to go around Montana and shop it’s difficult. It’s a long walk which wasn’t fantastic with a buggy – not Montana’s fault, just because the Ambassador is up above the town. The food was fine; we ate in the bar most nights as the main evening meal was too late for our boys. The bar has big windows with lovely views of the mountains. One thing that’s especially good is the onsite ski hire shop by the hotel, which we will definitely use next time. It makes things so much easier than having to travel out to the Intersport, especially with children. The staff there were so helpful and they let us leave our skis there overnight.
