Switzerland: Weekend in Crans-Montana

Relaxation and Skiing in Crans-Montana

Hi everyone! Back on the front page, this article of Crans-Montana to help you to organize your trip in this beautiful destination. Enjoy your reading!

In the afternoon, we arrive in Montana in the Valais canton. Then we take a ride into a caterpillar to reach the Chetzeron hotel. Stunning landscape with snow, the magic of the Swiss Alps! Located at an altitude of 2112 m on the slopes of the Crans-Montana ski area: the Chetzeron offers a sleek design quite Japandi, in a former gondola station (photos “The hotel” below and photo of the swimming pool in “Day 1” below). From the warm welcome to the excellent dinner with regional products, to the comfort of the room with panoramic views of the moutain peaks and the valley, as well as the really cool team: everything is great! I could be able to spend my stay without leaving the hotel!

Day 1: snowshoeing, early departure from the hotel under a bright sun. Sporty snowshoe descent! Especially when you find yourself on ski slopes (oops!)… Crans-Montana has 140 km of marked ski slopes, including 14 blue, 39 red, 8 black and 40 km marked and secure paths for ski touring routes. Well yes, we got lost on snowshoes. After walking along a few ski slopes, we finally found the restaurant where we reserved for lunch. In the early afternoon, we go up in the cable car to the Plaine Morte glacier at 3000 meters above sea level. Stunning setting, brisk air and blinding (photos “Day 1: Snowshoes & Glacier” below).

Day 2: skiing in overcast weather. Refresher course with an instructor from the ESS (Swiss Ski School). Months and months without skiing, an eternal beginner/intermediate level. Then we take real descents and I am euphoric (photos “Skiing & Fooding” below). Lunch at the restaurant Cry d’Er Club d’Altitude. Tired, I spend the rest of the afternoon in the swimming pool of the Hotel Royal in Crans. More traditional than the Chezteron, this hotel has a gastronomic restaurant, Le Cadre Royal. Rooms are comfortable and the service is pleasant and professional. I really enjoy my stay. For our last evening, we have a dinner at the Mosaic: simple and tasty cuisine (photos “Skiing & Fooding” below).

The Countryside With Style And Simplicity

To go to Can Lluc Hotel Rural, we took a taxi. Honestly, it’s the simplest way: the road ends with a track of red earth. What a pleasure to discover the property of 11 bedrooms, 14 one-bedroom villas and 2 large villas! Lovely welcome, lush gardens, beautiful swimming pool with a panoramic view of hills and orchards. The old and modern architecture discreetly blends into the decor. Far from the noise and traffic jams of Evissa.

Chic and intimate countryside to enjoy Ibiza differently. Our room has a small shaded terrace, near the swimming pool. Inside the room, the rustic decoration is in the Mediterranean style with floor tiles, wood and thick stone walls : simple, practical and comfortable, without unnecessary objects. There are a small fireplace for the winter season, air conditioning, mini bar and television. The large bathroom is bright and the bedding of good quality. A little cocoon. This summer, two new villas with very contemporary decoration have been added.

We had planned a thousand things to do: a trip to the north of the island, a dinner at Aubergine… But from the moment we arrived, we didn’t want to move. The swimming pool deserted during daytime by the customers who visited the island, has become our swimming pool. Swimming, enjoying the view, swimming,. And why not a mini trek in the surroundings, or cycling… Farniente (idleness). The excellent breakfast is presented and served with taste. And the dinner cooked by the chef is delicious too. We sit down on the large terrace, surrounded by vegetation. Dreamily, I watch the night fall slowly. This is the South… beautiful South!

Savoy Seychelles Resort & Spa, Mahé

Posted on July 29, 2017 | Leave a comment

The Sunset View

The Gecko Bar

The Savoy Seychelles Resort & Spa is located opposite the busy beach of Beau Vallon, North of Mahé Island (first photo of the article).

Late in the afternoon, with Lisa, my friend from Seychelles, I discover the promenade next to the beach, with many restaurants, bars … and barbecues of fresh fish! 

It’s very lively and crowded (too much people for me). I am happy to have spent most of my stay in the South of Mahé which is more preserved and quiet.

At the Gecko Bar (photo above), one of the restaurants and bars of the Savoy Seychelles Resort & Spa, you can enjoy a pleasant view of the spectacular sunset over the Indian Ocean (photo below). 

The Room

Great Bedding

The comfortable functional room has a well-equipped bathroom with separated bath, shower and toilet. Nice details: L’Occitane bath products. And a little balcony with a view of the swimming pool, where I used to rest on a sofa the afternoons.. 

The Swimming Pool

Huge And Graphic  

The largest pool in the Seychelles islands! To be honest, I didn’t have time to swim there, because I was busy to visit the different parts of Mahé. I like the tiled drawing of the flowers (photo montage above), more graphic in the evening with the lights.

Boasting a central position in the vast complex, the pool is close to the Grand Savoy restaurant, where I had breakfasts and dinner.

The Gardens

Many Shades Of Green

I really enjoy stopping on the way and stroll ing in one of those greenery oases (photo above). Luxuriant and scattered on all the resort, they offer a little freshness and privacy.
