The ski lift pricing policy is changing for the 2026/27 winter season, with a clear aim: to offer simple, transparent and value-for-money rates for those planning their skiing holidays in advance.
The main new feature is a fixed, great value day pass, available online until midnight the day before your skiing outing. This means you can check the weather forecast and conditions in the ski area, then decide whether to hit the slopes.
With the new system, prices no longer fluctuate depending on demand, or the date of booking. You know the price of your ski day pass in advance, and can enjoy the best rates simply by buying your pass online.
Season tickets are also available with a ‘skip-the-queue’ option, La Fastlane, which gives you priority access to the ski lifts.
Access to the ski area is also designed to be as seamless as possible. When purchasing your ticket online, simply enter the number of your existing compatible Keycard to access the slopes directly, without having to go through the ticket offices.
For those who wish to enjoy the ski area for longer, multi-day ski passes are also available, ranging from 2 to consecutive 7 days. These passes make it easy to plan several days’ skiing in Crans-Montana and benefit from a rate tailored to the length of your stay.
In Crans-Montana, youngsters can discover the joys of skiing for free, and have their first experiences on skis in the best possible conditions. Skiing is free for children up to their 6th birthday in the ski area and at the Snow Island facilities. The child’s age is taken on the first day the ski pass.
Young skiers from 16 to 20 years old also enjoy a preferential rate on all types of ski passes.
Seniors, meanwhile, can take advantage of a special package, the "têtes blanches" offer, which includes a day pass and a pasta dish at the Self-Service Violettes or Cry d’Er on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays during the low season.
For beginners, the Pass Step One offers a package specially designed for learning. This pass gives access to two separate areas where you can learn to ski at your own pace and with confidence: Snow Island in the resort, and Arnouva on the ski area.
As an added bonus, access to the Ycoor ice rink is included in the pass, offering a change of activity.
The new pricing structure doesn’t just apply to day passes. The ski lifts also offer various different options which allow everyone to enjoy the mountains in whichever way they like (snow park, pedestrians, etc.). And if you want to enjoy Crans-Montana all winter long, the season passes are still available online with different options tailored to regular skiers.
