LeCrans

At LeCrans, pine trees frame this outdoor pool.

A week here, month by month

I go up to LeCrans to sleep at 1,650 metres on the edge of the forest: Kilimanjaro has a fireplace and a terrace open to the mountains. Crans-Montana lies below, so an evening in town means going down.

Is it for you?

I like Oural for 2, with its bath set beneath the window.

I’d ask for
Oural with its king-size bed.
Worth knowing
The room has a terrace.

8 min readHow we write the guide

  1. Booking dinner

    I would book LeMontBlanc from Wednesday to Sunday, from 7pm to 9pm. If you want to avoid meat and fish at dinner, there is a vegetarian option.

  2. Visiting as a non-resident

    For non-residents, booking a treatment costing at least CHF 245 includes access to the relaxation area.

  3. Facing the open kitchen

    For a group, La Table d’Hôtes faces the open kitchen. The table can accommodate up to 12 people.

What LeCrans is

LeCrans stands at Plans-Mayens. Rooms take their names from mountain ranges and peaks, from Sierra Nevada to Everest. Yannick Crepaux’s French cooking at LeMontBlanc follows the seasons and local produce.123456

I would choose it for a weekend of Valais food and wine: a guided hour-long tasting brings together 3 wines, local charcuterie and cheeses.

Distinctions

How we choose the hotels

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them

What do LeCrans’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.

  1. Location

    Nearly every guest who mentions it is happy with it. A guest finds the centre a little far away, suggesting the hotel shuttle, a car or taxi to reach it.

  2. Room

    9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. A guest travelling with their father and older brother finds the bed a little uncomfortable.

  3. Staff and service

    The team helped a guest with a car problem.

  4. Breakfast

    A guest remembers homemade preserves and pastries, local cheeses and cold cuts.

  5. Price

    A guest finds the stay expensive but feels the views, food and service justify the cost.

261 guests said so on Google, from 18 August 2012 to 14 October 2026. The other hotels are assessed on the same 5 themes. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.

The hotels we weigh it against in Crans-Montana:

  • Crans Ambassador
  • Guarda Golf Hotel & Residences
  • Hotel Royal
  • Six Senses Crans-Montana

Price: for 2, the night of 13 December 2026, from 799 CHF on Google Hotels on 23 October 2026.
