Hotel Aia-Castel ****  Crans Montana, Switzerland

The Hotel Aida-Castel offers a swimming pool and magnificent views of the Alps. It is situated within walking distance of the centre of Crans Montana and of all the sports facilities. Traditionally furnished rooms in chalet style with wooden furniture invite you to relax after a day out on the slopes. Apart from the pool, the wellness area of the Aida-Castel hotel also includes a sauna and fitness facilities. You can park your car for free on site. The ski resort of Crans Montana is located on a plateau above Sierre in the Swiss Alps. The area extends over 140 km of marked slopes, a third of which can be covered with artificial snow. Thanks to 3 ski lifts on the southern end of the Plaine Morte glacier, skiing is also possible in summer in this region, which is among the sunniest in Valais. It attracts not only the best skiers for Alpine skiing and freestyle competitions, but also offers nursery slopes or a golf course, which is transformed into a snow-covered playground during winter.
