The mountain echoes with classical masterpieces

16 July 2025

This summer, classical music takes on a new life in Crans-Montana. With an inspired programme, renowned artists and unexpected venues, enjoy more than concerts: discover cultural experiences that come to life in nature, in the streets, and across the resort.

Driven by the vision of its new director, Isabelle Bagnoud Loretan, Crans-Montana Classics ventures off the beaten path. Music finds its way into the heart of everyday life: from markets and terraces to its now iconic performance on the golf course.
