Campsite in Crans Montana. It’s right on the edge of town with shaded and unshaded pitches. Some are within the trees. It’s right next to a lake and has onsite bar. It was quiet whilst we were there with little noise coming from the bar.
All the shops are uphill from the campsite but I believe there is a bus up but we never used it, preferring to walk (it is really quite steep though).
You get a guest card (having paid tourist tax) and early in the season this gives you free access to the cable car… a lovely bonus (check dates and other pearls online).
The owner Zoran was very helpful and will accept emailed reservations and is quick to respond.
Our only slight niggle is that the general public can walk straight through the site to the lake. Also be warned that the helipad is on the edge of the site but luckily it was never used whilst we were there (possibly for mountain rescue / air ambulance? we never...

Such a wonderful place that I'd never expect to see in the Alps! The family & team who run it are all exceptionally nice and professional, the location is genuinely dream-like, and the atmosphere is a perfect mix of homely comfort & staggering beauty!
I performed here with a band for their recent blues festival, and it was perfect in every way - the other bands were chosen by the owners specifically and (despite my job being touring the world) they stood out amongst the worldwide competition as being an exceptional group of people running an exceptional venue (they gave the same care to the crowd/public as the bands - that's very rare!)
Even if you're not camping & you're just nearby, pop in & visit and you'll see...
Read moreEndroit sympathique au demeurant mais desservi par un personnel non professionnel et dépassé. Nous avons commandé une pizza et quelques boissons, mais bien entendu la serveuse n’a pas noté la commande. Après plus de 20 minutes, sachant qu’une pizza surgelée ne cuit pas 1/2h, nous allons à l’intérieur demander ce qu’il en est. On nous répond que notre pizza a été « oubliée ». C’est dommage mais ça peut arriver. Ce qui est inadmissible par contre, est de se l’entendre dire de façon très désagréable, en nous disant qu’attendre 20 minutes n’est pas le bout du monde et qu’il y a du monde. Le problème c’est que sans notre rappel, nous l’aurions sans doute attendue 1h, vu qu’elle a été oubliée... Sachez que la moindre des choses quand on fait des erreurs est de les reconnaître et de s’excuser. Mais cette politesse élémentaire semble n’avoir jamais été apprise par le responsable de cette guinguette. À éviter donc. Par ailleurs, je pense que l’avalanche de commentaires négatifs (ainsi que leur réponse respective) parle malheureusement...
