Super high, super fast:
Crans Montana is just coming onto the radar as another classic riding spot. Swiss Cup races have been held there for many years and all the UK racers who have entered came back raving about the place.
Nestled high up in the Valais region, Crans Montana is one of the more affluent resorts in Switzerland. The fast modern gondola takes you up to nearly 3000m before you drop into the fast purpose built trails. Speed is a defining feature of the trails here with long smooth berms and floaty jumps. There are also some pretty unique technical sections on the race track that will challenge any rider!
