Lantern Path

A winter wonderland in the mountains

A winter tradition in Crans-Montana, the Lantern Path is one of the season’s most beloved attractions. Each year, thousands of visitors come to experience its enchanting atmosphere, delighting both children and adults alike.

Set in nature just a short walk from the centre, this illuminated evening stroll captures the true magic of winter. Snow blankets the trees, footsteps crunch softly underfoot, and the gentle glow of lanterns creates a poetic scene as night begins to fall.

A free experience open to everyone

Throughout the winter months, the Jack Nicklaus golf course is transformed into a magical Lantern Path. Usually reserved for golfers, this elegant setting lights up and invites visitors to wander through a sparkling winter landscape in the heart of Crans-Montana.

Stretching for around 2 km, the route is accessible to all and takes about 45 minutes to complete. It is the perfect opportunity for a beautiful walk in nature, to be enjoyed with family or friends.

Unique light installations

Following a theme that changes each year, original light installations appear along the path, creating visual worlds that transform the forest into a truly immersive and sensory experience.





Enchanting concerts and shows

The Hameau de Mayens transforms into a welcoming place to meet, share and discover artistic performances. With a programme renewed each winter, enjoy a series of special evenings where concerts and enchanting shows follow one another, bringing rhythm and atmosphere to the season.

Whether with family or friends, let yourself be captivated by the beauty of the setting and the talent of the artists, and savour a magical moment beneath the stars.





A gourmet break

Along the way, treat yourself to a delicious break at the Hameau de Mayens, where the "Chalet Vin chaud et Terroir" invites you to savour regional wines and local specialities.

And for an even richer experience, why not indulge in a Gourmet Evening at the Mayen and enjoy a culinary journey inspired by the flavours of the past. Available by reservation only, for groups of 8 to 12 people.
