& Spa
Intimate alpine chalet meets art-collector's mountain hideout. Designer Christophe Decarpentrie gave each room a mountain-range theme — maharaja's palace for Everest, pine-heavy Italian design for the Dolomites — so the décor is layered and specific rather than generic luxury. Rustic wood beams and vaulted ceilings, but the beds are canopied kings and the bathrooms are stone with jacuzzi tubs.
Request a south-facing room — they all technically face south, but ask specifically for full Alpine panorama rather than courtyard-side
Why It Matters
Two Michelin Keys for the hotel and one Michelin Star for Chef Yannick Crepaux's restaurant LeMontBlanc. Just 16 rooms, all facing the Alps. Open year-round (rare for the altitude), so it works for skiers, hikers, and cyclists alike. A member of Leading Hotels of the World and Swiss Deluxe Hotels. Former Bond star Roger Moore spent the last years of his life in a chalet ten minutes away.
Perched at 1,650m above Crans-Montana in the Swiss Alps, LeCrans started life as a humble family pension and was rebuilt into a 16-room, five-star boutique hotel without losing its soul. The chalet structure is wooden and angular — properly Alpine — and every single room faces south toward a panorama of peaks stretching from Mont Blanc to the Dufourspitze. It holds Two Michelin Keys and its restaurant, LeMontBlanc, carries a Michelin Star. Small enough to feel like a private mountain house, large enough to have a serious spa, a wine cellar, and a cigar lounge.

King · 53 sqm
Junior Suite Dolomites
Mr & Mrs Smith's top pick for romantics. Heavy on pine wood and dressed in forest greens and rustic plaid — it feels like a proper mountain dorm cranked up to five stars. Italian Venetian design references mixed with alpine warmth. Great for couples who want a room that actually feels like the Alps.
King · 53 sqmJunior Suite Everest
The most theatrical room in the hotel. Bright textiles, carved mirrors, rich wood panelling inlaid with colorful birds and exotic green gardens — it channels a maharaja's palace at the top of the Himalayas. A genuine conversation piece. Pink and green tones, exotic murals, plus the expected fireplace and jacuzzi bathtub.
King · 53 sqmOural Deluxe Room
Mr & Mrs Smith's pick for bubble-bath lovers — the Oural features a bathtub with direct mountain views that stop you mid-soak. Dark-wood panelling with red-velvet accents and a four-poster king bed. Private balcony. Russian Ural mountain theme.
King (four-poster) · 25 sqmPrestige Apartment
The biggest footprint in the hotel at 200+ sqm. Three double bedrooms each with en-suite bathrooms, a full American kitchen, fireplaces, and a large terrace with exceptional panoramic views. Proper self-catering option for families or groups who want serious space without losing the five-star services.
King (all three bedrooms) · 200 sqmPrestige Suite Rocky Mountains
High ceilings and a mezzanine level give this suite exceptional vertical drama. Inspired by the North American Rocky Mountains. The mezzanine arrangement creates a sense of private space-within-space — lounge below, sleeping quarters above. Panoramic Alpine terrace.
KingSuperior Room
The entry-level room at LeCrans, and still genuinely impressive. Features an accessible bathroom for mobility-impaired guests. Wood-beamed walls, canopied king bed, stone bathroom with jacuzzi, private balcony. Not enormous, but the mountain-facing terrace more than compensates.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
An intimate tasting menu dinner served inside the LeMontBlanc kitchen, guided personally by Chef Yannick Crepaux. The most direct access you can get to a Michelin-starred kitchen without wearing chef whites.
The sommelier leads private tastings through the hotel's curated Valais wine cellar. Heavy focus on indigenous Swiss varieties from the Valais — Petite Arvine, Humagne Blanche, Cornalin. Can be paired with cheese or charcuterie on request.
Horse riding and equestrian pursuits are available in the Crans-Montana area and can be arranged by the hotel concierge. A serious part of the local culture.

Guided snowshoe hikes through the alpine forests above Crans-Montana. The hotel can arrange guides. Harder than it looks — the terrain doesn't let you off easy.
