Crans-Montana: Switzerland
This new book from Farrol Kahn gives you an insight to the people and places of Crans-Montana, known for its openness to accept all-comers. In fact this is more of personal guide to Crans-Montana than a traditional travel guide; it is about the people who live, work and make the town what it is. The listings, from the prestigious Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club to the cafes and restaurants, hotels, health and wellness to property services, shopping, art and culture, and local produce are accompanied by details, anecdotes and photographs. This book is the equivalent of a local showing you around and suggesting activities and things you can do, and introducing you to the people who run the establishments, their thoughts, philosophy and stories. What makes Crans-Montana so unique is
not only its panorama, its year-round sunshine, the fantastic run from the glacier on Plaine Morte all the way down a 6, 000 foot vertical drop to the village, but its spectacularly scenic golf courses where the ball travels much further because of the high altitude. But insiders know there is more to Crans-Montana than just the high plateau. It comprises medieval villages and families like the Barras and Bonvin that go back to the 13th and 14th century respectively. There is also the tradition of vertical living through seasonal migration, from the vineyards near the Rhone to the Alpine meadows and in-between. Above all, it is about the people. In a research programme on air pollution, the Swiss Federal government found that the cleanest air in the country was in Crans-Montana.
