Hostels in Crans-Montana

Alaïa Lodge is amazing! We selected it for our winter vacation because we traveled via train-bus connection to Crans-Montana with ski gear. Alaïa Lodge is 50m from the Cry d'Er bus stop and walking distance to the Cry d'Er gondola giving us easy access to the mountain resort. Also, the hotel is a short walking distance to a grocery store on the same side of the street as well as the Crans and Montana villages. We had a comfortable room with a south-facing patio on an upper floor. Housekeeping was always prompt and thorough. The check in process was very easy and there is an on-site winter sports room for you to store your gear. Mounted on the wall in that room are about 10 boot dryers. For an extra charge, you can have a delicious daily breakfast buffet that is well worth it. The Alaïa Lodge has two on-site restaurants: Twin Peaks on the ground floor that serves great Swiss cuisine including, of course, fondue. One floor below ground level is Viva Voce, an authentic Italian restaurant with a piano bar that serves everything from oven baked pizza, various pasta dishes and fresh fish. The wine list in both of these restaurants is great. Best of all, you will experience exceptional service at the Alaïa Lodge, Twin Peaks and Viva Voce!

Style, breakfast and dinner, the terrace and the panoramiv view, the super comfi beds, the set up and location

A youth hostel with an indoor pool and sauna what else is there to say. Exceptional staff

off the beaten track. Private rooms and hot shower. Beautiful views from the Cabane. Food and coffee were great.

Very friendly welcome by the staff. We were received by Markus who kindly waited for us despite our late arrival and shown us around. Note that late check-ins can be arranged by notifying the staff beforehand. The room was fit for purpose and as advertised on the website. As backpackers, what we also appreciated is the shared kitchen, the shared dining room and the washing/drying machines. Not being from Switzerland and travelling on a budget (wink wink, the too are related), it was great to be able to prepare our own dinner and breakfast (and not spend a month of salary on restaurants --> although rest assured, there are good options). Note as well that the hostel is conveniently placed very near to the town center and the train station (a 5 min walk away at most). There you go. Happy with our stay and we actually went back for a second night there. Hope this helps.

Very clean, very modern. Extremely convenient location.
