Amazing original wood panelling and beams, seven restaurants, one with a Michelin star, apartments offering typical Swiss charm, terraces overlooking the town of Crans-Montana, and top-quality service both warm and attentive… More than ever before, the Best Mountain Resort is now a real treasure of Le Valais. Run by a passionate family, the Bestenheiders, these three hotels and seven restaurants have been designed to bring their noble materials back to life, but also to make all your stays truly memorable. Each address is steeped in history and represents the very essence of a luxurious stay in the mountains, during which relaxation, pleasure and adventure are all on the programme.
 
The most intimate: Le Pas de l’Ours - Relais & Château

Managed and entirely decorated by Séverine Bestenheider-Reynaud, Le Pas de l’Ours is a real cocoon of serenity. Original and unique, its 15 rooms and suites will enchant you for their spaciousness, lovely high ceilings and, for most of them, a balcony or private terrace offering sensational views of the Swiss Alps. Not forgetting their lovely hearths for wood fires that crackle in winter, seeing that you relax peacefully after a long day of skiing or hiking. Above all, do not miss out on the elegant, modern dishes orchestrated by Chef Franck Reynaud, the owner's husband,  in the hotel's two restaurants: Le Bistrot de l’Ours and the gastronomic "L’Ours". Here, the cuisine is perfectly in tune with great vintages.
 
The most family-friendly: L’Étrier

Nestling in a mountain village in the Swiss Alps, just next door to Le Pas de l’Ours, L’Étrier casts its spell under the expert and dedicated management of Géraldine Bestenheider. Renovated throughout, the chalet is impressive for its XXL proportions and cosy decor, but also for its refined cuisine served in the lounge area or at the restaurant Le Fer à Cheval. This 4-star hotel is entirely devoted to top-notch comfort for families. Here, quietness, relaxation and discoveries go hand-in-hand with memorable moments of togetherness.
