When golf courses transform into winter leisure grounds

During the winter, the two prestigious golf courses are transformed into a true leisure hub, combining sport, relaxation, and conviviality, while preserving the alpine environment that makes Crans-Montana so renowned.

Walks on foot or snowshoes, numerous family activities, and cross-country skiing: of the 20 km of trails available, 16 km are directly laid out on the golf course for both skating and classic style. Long winter walks are thus accessible to everyone.
Add to this activities specially designed for children, and everyone can fully enjoy the mountains and their panoramas.

At nightfall, the Jack Nicklaus golf course turns into a magical walk thanks to the famous Lantern Path.


Activities for young and old at Snow Island

Among the highlights, Snow Island, located on the Severiano Ballesteros golf course, offers a variety of activities for the whole family. Children can learn to ski on adapted slopes, slide down the hills on sleds or snow tubes, or compete on electric snowmobiles.

The more adventurous can try the airbag or the Bungee Trampoline and learn boardercross. Lifts are facilitated by conveyor belts and ski lifts.

The Maison de Bibi, at the heart of Snow Island, completes the offer with activities supervised by the staff of Crans-Montana Tourism & Congress. Children can meet Bibi, Crans-Montana’s mascot, participate in craft workshops, play different games, or enjoy a library corner for quieter moments. This friendly space provides creativity and discovery perfectly suited to the youngest visitors.






Relaxation and conviviality areas

The site features refreshment stands and restaurants with panoramic views of the mountains, ideal for warming up after activities. Deck chairs are also available to enjoy the sun and scenery.


Accessibility

Located just a short distance from the center of Crans-Montana, the Severiano Ballesteros and Jack Nicklaus golf courses are easily accessible by free shuttles or car, with parking nearby.


The little extra for families

In Crans-Montana, families are especially well looked after:

  • Free up to age 9: Children enjoy free access to the entire ski area when accompanied by an adult.
  • Step One Pass from CHF 10: For children from age 3, as well as adults, this pass provides access to Snow Island (on Severiano Ballesteros golf course), Arnouva’s snow garden, beginner lifts and conveyor belts in the resort, and the Ycoor ice rink. An ideal way to gently discover skiing and mountain pleasures.
