The Haut-Plateau is shared by three municipalities, Crans-Montana, Lens and Icogne, and postal addresses do not always follow municipal boundaries. Our studio is in Montana, in the municipality of Crans-Montana, less than 400 m from the funicular. Our two apartments, on Rue du Petit-Vallon and Chemin des Myosotis, and our chalet on Route de la Délège are in the municipality of Lens, with a Crans postal address.
Crans and Montana form the heart of the resort: shops, lift departures and the funicular from Sierre, which climbs in 13 minutes and runs every 20 minutes according to Crans-Montana Tourisme. All year round, free shuttle buses link the different parts of the resort, from Crans to Aminona, and several regular bus lines are also free within the plateau's free-travel zone.
Lens, an independent municipality in the west of the region, has its old village at 1,100 m, nestled against the Châtelard hill beneath the statue of Christ the King. Chermignon, in the municipality of Crans-Montana, is made up of two villages, Chermignon-d'en-Haut at 1,100 m and Chermignon-d'en-Bas at 920 m, known for their busy community life and their two brass bands. Bluche, just below the resort, grew strongly in the early 2000s around the Les Roches hotel school.
Aminona, to the east, can be recognised from afar by its three towers; it is the starting point for walks, snowshoe outings and ski tours, and for mountain-bike routes in summer. We have no properties in Chermignon, Bluche or Aminona.
