Open since 2023, this Six Senses group property is the ideal refuge to forget the hustle and bustle of the world for a weekend.
Day 1: Awakening the senses and powder snow
Day breaks over the Swiss ski resort. From your bed, through the spacious veranda of your suite, once the curtains are drawn, you glimpse the rising sun in the distance. At the foot of your terrace, patches of snow and a few fir trees complete this idyllic scene. A scene that puts nature front and center, to be observed in a minimalist room, in a palette of organic colors, allowing it to take center stage.
Fancy a light or hearty breakfast? Head to the Wild Cabin. In a warm and inviting atmosphere, you can enjoy classic favorites like Eggs Benedict, or an egg served on a bed of raclette and potatoes. A mountain setting, after all. After satisfying this first sense – because, as you've surely noticed, we're at the Six Senses, which celebrates sensuality in all its forms – why not try a guided breathing session? While the experience might seem unusual at times, relaxation is guaranteed, even for those new to it. You might even find yourself longing for a nap.
For those looking for a light lunch, or simply a place to relax, the Ora Bar & Lounge seems ideal. In addition to its generous seating, the bar, which underwent a complete renovation in 2025, offers a wide variety of cocktails, such as the surprising Valais Negroni, as well as several sharing plates, ranging from croquettes to club sandwiches.
Others will certainly want to enjoy the slopes right at the hotel's doorstep. And with good reason: the hotel offers an on-site ski concierge service, equipment rentals, and can even arrange your lift pass. In short, no organizational complications. Finally, the highlight: at the very end of the slope bordering the hotel, a door on your left allows you to easily return to the cozy and welcoming atmosphere of the Six Senses Crans-Montana.
With dinnertime approaching, it's high time to head to Byakko, a Japanese restaurant with a freshly revamped concept. The Tasting Menu offers a wonderful glimpse into the team's expertise, accompanied by a wide selection of regional wines. Among the courses that particularly impressed us were an oyster with a yuzu vinaigrette and a king crab with hollandaise sauce.
Day 2: Body Wellness
This second day is dedicated to relaxation. And it begins with a truly fantastic spa session, thanks to its extensive offerings: steam room, cold plunge pool, Finnish sauna, stone sauna, and organic salt sauna. In short, a whole host of possibilities, crowned by a heated swimming pool, itself topped by a suspended wooden ceiling, as if to echo the birch trees in the courtyard opposite.
The next step takes place in a spa treatment room. There, you'll receive a one-hour holistic massage. This personalized treatment allows you to request that your therapist focus on a specific area and massage you with the oil of your choice. Another opportunity to unwind.
For those who would prefer a sporty morning on the slopes, après-ski at the Club Alpin is a must. Accessible from the pistes, the establishment's terrace is delightful in good weather and offers an incredible view of the snow-covered peaks. On the menu, you'll find comforting and hearty dishes, such as a Margherita pizza, a burger (with raclette cheese, of course), and the ever-popular fondue.
After a brief break for digestion, the most energetic can enjoy a 50-minute yoga session to soothe their aching muscles. As luck would have it, your studio is located just steps from the spa, where you can recover from your exertions.
Once dinnertime arrives, if hunger strikes, the Wild Cabin will satisfy you with a range of brasserie-style dishes inspired by Swiss cuisine. On the menu are filet mignon and beef tartare, and vegetarians won't be forgotten either, with beetroot carpaccio or celeriac steak.
The stay is drawing to a close, but there will always be opportunities to visit the Six Senses Crans-Montana again. And for good reason: the hotel is open year-round. A perfect excuse to head back to the mountains this summer.
