Crans-Montana Youth Hostel

Interesting building history. Lovely views of the lake and the forest from the different terraces. Neat clean modern rooms, toilets and showers. Sink in room. Outlets and lights easy to reach. open armoires with a spot for luggage are handy. Breakfast was good. Dinner ok. Others staying were very friendly and interesting. Some were with their extended families; others with friends or solo. Staff very sweet and personable. Lift tickets well priced at reception. Buses are free. 1 minute stop to Télé cry. Angel’s does a nice job with tuneups. Migros is at the bus stop down the hill from the hostel. Final check out with credit card easy the night before.

If you are coming from the funiculaire and have luggage and skis, taking a taxi is suggested as there is a hike up to the hostel. Beds might be narrow if you are a chub. Store your skis at a rental locker at Télé cry. i have a cold bc one guest thought that a wide open window all night long was ok-far too cold; the room is aired out all day long anyway.

The location of the property is in good walking distance to a lot of places of interest in Crans-Montana. I had booked a bunk bed(6 in a room) because it was the only option available. But I was able to upgrade to a private room the next day from the property when a room became available. The room was clean and the view from my room which was on the second floor was amazing.

The Crans Montana Youth Hostel was a great place to stay. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was all freshly prepared and really tasty both at breakfast and the evening meals. The views from the balconied rooms were just stunning. Very sunny aspect too. Good to see the hosteling experience working so well for so many people of all ages and nationalities. Free bus service every twenty minutes to the main gondola stations from the main road below the hostel. Ski lockers and secure luggage lockers also readily accessible.

My stay was exceptional. Manager Nicolas was very helpful and all the staff were friendly and enthusiastic. It's a great location, close to the Gondola for skiers and boarders and the villages of Crans and Montana for shopping. The breakfast is complete in every way and my two dinners were also healthy and tasty. It's a classy 'retro-historic' building and my sunny balcony views were the magestic Valais Alps. It is also the only hostel-hotel-hipstel that l know that pour's a decent pint of beer at Reception! Thank you Edwige. And the great spring skiing on the challenging Crans-Montana slopes made my stay exceptional and great value. Cin Cin, MuzzA.

If you travel from Sierre Gare by local bus ensure you get off at the Pavillion stop. Read the signs, the hostel is just up the hill.

Decent clean and causy rooms, great view and kind staff. Very good value for money.

- Parking: It was very unfortunate that while Booking.com mentioned that the Youth Hostel offered free parking, this was completely inaccurate. The hotel only offered paid parking (10 CHF per day) and upon reservation. Of course, when we arrived there was no spot left and we had to use other paid parkings for over 30 CHF per day.

I particularly liked the atmosphere and the layout of the property, the minimalist decoration gave me peace, and it is very practical and functional, and I also liked the awareness with recycling. Breakfast was varied. And I was able to leave my suitcase in the lockers a little bit longer than planned. Highly recommended. Thank you.

everything was good

Everything - the accommodation, the available facilities, the breakfast, the absolutely gorgeous view from the terrace, the piece and quiet. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is also very close by the Cry d`Er gondola - approximately 5-7min walk.

Great location, absolutely kind and friendly staff, clean area, rooms and showers. Very good varied breakfast. Nearby bus stops, shops, and restaurants. See you next time.

I liked that it was close to the slope, the breakfast was so delicious, comfy rooms, clean bathrooms. Highly recommended

I would also add a kitchen for the use of all renters

Natascha is awesome!! Breakfast and Location are perfect!

The price per private room but I think that switzerland is expensive in general
