Travellers' Choice
Everything is at its peak here in Crans-Montana: the high plateau is a sunny place, the air quality is above average and the hotel with its large salt spa is located directly next to the valley lift station. The local hotel manager, who doesn't miss the opportunity to personally spread the raclette on the plates of his guests on Wednesday evenings, guarantees a high level of Valais hospitality.

We had the menu at the restaurant and frankly it's probably the worst food I've eaten in Switzerland, ever..... The (dry) fish with tangerines didn't make any sense and was absolutely dreadful. Wouldn't recommend eating there to anyone....

Dear 629philippei, Thank you for taking the time to evaluate your evening in Valaisia. As for your remark about the kitchen, I find it insulting to the people who work there and who throughout the year receive a lot of compliments from our customers. In 10 years of management in Valaisia, I have never heard such criticism without any obgectivity. We have to satisfy an average of 150 customers every evening with a kitchen brigade including a chef who has been in charge for more than 10 years in Valaisia. If his cuisine was as you describe it, it would probably be a long time ago that he would have changed jobs. And I can assure you, that with the unimaginable number of compliments we receive, he has my confidence at least for the next 10 years. Taste and colors are very personaI and I must say as a lucky manager, I have the chance to eat every night the same menu as the clients and iI really loved this fisch. Unfortunately I don't see you name and reservation by us. I wish you a nice year 2021 and above all, take care of yourself. Kind regards. Nicolas Deslarzes General Manager

I stay in more than 30 hotels a year for 8 months of every year so I like to think I know what to write. Here the room is very dated but clean. No international electronic socket, not one. WiFi was poor at best with only 1mb speed. It should have minimum 5mb. No kettle for tea/coffee, no safe. It does have a large balcony with stunning views but I am sure every hotel has a view to behold.

Stayed in this renegade hotel for a week skiing in Crans Montana. Staff all very pleasant, dining room food and service excellent. 5 mins to ski lift which is very appealing. HOWEVER my skis were stolen from the ski room after the first day, and not recovered. The ski room has public access - someone can walk into the ski room from the street unchallenged during the day. There are no ski lockers or cameras. I got the impression that the hotel didn’t take the theft too seriously. Advice - if you intend to stay here bring a small ski lock to secure your skis. The hotel should be providing better security but is not being realistic that in 2018 there is opportunistic theft.

Dear Twentyoneforever, Thank you very much for your comment. We are very pleased to read that you were happy with your stay. About your ski, we are very sorry. We have told you to make a declaration and to write to the insurance. As we explained to you, it was the first time that something like this hapenned. If we would have had other theft, we would have changed our system for a long time because we always take very seriously the clients’ complain. We hope that maybe once, a client will call us to say : I'm sorry but I'took the wrong pair of ski back home. Anyway, we will think about what you wrote and maybe should we provide small ski lock. We wish you a good year 2018 and we hope to see you again for another stay.

The hotel is rather nice, however not very luxurious, but, the food was always good, the breakfast buffet is huge and you will find all you need. Staff was very helpful. The spa & pools is a real plus after a day in the slopes. The hotel is ideally situated right in front of the lifts to the slopes. Avoid staying in the secondary building, rooms are older and the hall in between is not heated, so when you come from the pool, wet, is not that nice. But if you stay on the main building you won't have that problem. I'll recommend it, also Crans-Montana, great slopes and views.

We stayed in the Valaisia hotel for one night over the weekend to get away from the summer heat and enjoyed it very much! Very friendly, helpful and efficient staff. Pool area is lovely (although a little on the small side if you want to actually swim!), we enjoyed our afternoon between the inside pool (saltwater), outside pool, spa, veranda and great massages available. Room was very clean, good bathroom/shower and very comfortable beds. Good choice for breakfast! Easy walk to village taking the "escalator" and back. Lots of activities available and can be organised by hotel. Underground parking available for small price. Very efficient, down-to-earth and pleasant hotel in Crans-Montana including a friendly welcome by the hotel director!

not the best hotel we have ever stayed in but for 3* it was ok. My husband had won a trip to Crans Montana in a golf competition and the Tourist board had offered the Valasia as a hotel choice. It certainly didn't give us a very good first impression of the resort. No parking available so had to park in the ski lift car park up the road for 15swiss francs per day. The rooms were extremely dated and the carpeted brown walls in the corridor made for an oppressive entry in the heat of the Summer. On the up side, the rooms were super clean and the spa area was great. As a ski hotel, I would think this would be an ideal choice, next to the lift and a great sauna, pool and steam room to unwind in and cheaper than most of the hotels in this areas. No opulence but great location. Mainly older French and German clientele in the Summer.…

We spent two nights at hotel Valaisia for a skiing week-end, and had mainly had a very nice time: - Location is very good for skiing, right next to the lifts - Staff is extremely friendly and willing to help - Breakfast buffet was good - Nice spa after a day skiing. However, I only scored 3* because for 250 F per night, the rooms need to be renovated, the bathroom is really small and the walls too thin. And we did not like that the hotel charge extra for bathrobes and slippers to go to the spa. At that price, this should be included.

Dear fabienen29, Thank you so much for the evaluation. We are happy to read that you enjoyed your stay. Our hotel is a perfect start point to go skiing as the station of the Grand Signal is right next to the building. Best regards, Michael K., Ferienverein-Hotelgruppe

We spent a nice week in this hotel which is only 50 steps away from the station Montana Grand Signal to Arnouva (where skischool starts). You can leave your car in the garage for 50 francs per week which also allows you to park at Barzettes or at Crans Cry d'Er parking. Right down by the hotel (2 min.walk) you can do outdoor icescating or enjoy the small town Montana, which is not a as snobbish as Crans. Ask the reception for skiing pass, which is cheaper as at the station. Children stay free of charge with their parents in a family room (cosy but a very small bathroom!) until 11yrs of age! Even incl. halfboard! The food is excellent - buffet breakfast and set menues in the evening. Bring your own bathrobe & swimsuit and enjoy the 33 degree celcius Solebath which is located inside the hotel. Kids enjoy the playroom (Lego, table football, pingpong table, etc.)…

Have stayed at the hotel 4 or 5 times now. Good value (by Swiss standards!) Décor in the rooms is older style, with bathrooms "1970's chic". Cleanliness in the rooms has always been of a high standard. Plenty of space in the rooms, Wifi works well. (Room tip: if possible, take a room in the main building, on a higher floor for better views. "Standard" rooms are on the back of the hotel without a view, can be small and darker. Well worth the extra to take "Superior" rooms) Location of the hotel is good, 50m from the Cry D'Er lift and 100m from Montana center. The spa in the hotel is the best asset - 33c saltwater spa, with Jacuzzis, steam room and sauna. Outdoor pool and sun lounger area in the Summer. One of the best facilities in a 3* place we have used.
