The Omega European Masters, one of the most prestigious golf competitions played on European soil, will take place from 3 to 6 September 2026. Located at Crans-Montana in the heart of the Swiss Alps, the Crans-sur-Sierre Golf-Club is indisputably the most spectacular course on the European Tour schedule.
Players and spectators are unanimous that the Severiano Ballesteros course is one of the most beautiful in the world. "This is the first time I've finished a course and remember all the holes. And what a view," commented an English amateur at the end of his day.
The whole course is up for grabs, but here are seven places not to be missed.
Even if you can't see the professionals' drive from here, this is a strategic location. This par four has the particularity of being appreciated by spectators, as it turns to the right.
By staying on the green of the 5th, it is also possible to follow other players, those who leave from the 2nd hole.
This is a well-deserved hole, as it is the furthest from the centre of Crans on the course. This area of Severiano Ballesteros - as if out of time - offers a breathtaking view of the Rhone plain. With a big blue sky, you can see as far as Mont Blanc.
You have to be at the same level as the players when they play their second shot. Standing on the mound next to the large larch tree, you can see the second shot on 12, hole 11 and also the green on 17.
This is one of the most spectacular features of the Severiano Ballesteros course. The view of the water features and the entire par 3 is breathtaking. The players arrive directly on the green, hunting for the hole-in-one.
Don't miss the Monte Rosa Lounge, strategically located near holes 17 and 11. With its 360° panoramic view, this spot offers an ideal setting to enjoy a drink while admiring the golfers' performances, as many holes are visible from this vantage point. The Monte Rosa Lounge combines a friendly atmosphere with spectacular scenery! Make sure to take advantage of this unique opportunity to experience the tournament from this perspective.
This has the advantage that people who don't like to walk can see the golf course almost from the resort of Crans-Montana. Sitting here it is also possible to see all the players. In fact, they come to you.
Open to the public, it allows you not only to eat, but also to continue to follow the tournament... Not really by sight, but sitting on deckchairs in front of the giant screen on the terrace.
