As part of our \u201cTable & Terroir\u201d series, Amedee Mathier<\/a><\/strong> was a guest yesterday at the \u201cLeCrans Hotel & Spa\u201d in Plans-Mayens high above Crans-Montana \u2013 for lunch and an exchange about our wines at the restaurant \u201cLe Mont Blanc.\u201d The location is among the most impressive in Switzerland: from the terrace, especially in sunshine and clear visibility, the view opens across the chain of four-thousand-meter peaks of the Valais Alps all the way to Mont Blanc. <\/p>\n\n

LeCrans is an exceptionally refined boutique hotel \u2013 you feel as if you are in your own luxurious private chalet. Only <\/a><\/strong>seventeen rooms and suites, but truly remarkable ones: the finest alpine materials, great attention to detail, and a very special alpine coziness. A highlight is the intimate spa with plenty of stone, wood, and tranquility \u2013 complemented by an indoor pool and a heated outdoor pool. <\/p>\n\n

In the kitchen, Yannick Crepaux<\/a><\/strong> stands for a passionate, precise, and classically grounded approach with a clear focus on the product \u2013 without effects for the sake of effects.<\/p>\n\n

The wine list, curated by sommelier Diego, feels like part of its own unique dramaturgy at the table \u2013 with a palpable joy in creative and unusual pairings. The selection of wines by the glass is particularly striking: unusually broad and of high quality. That Diego especially enjoys serving Valais wines pleases us greatly. <\/p>\n\n

There was also an opportunity for a brief, warm introduction and exchange with the new General Manager, Etienne Biedermann<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 one of the youngest luxury hotel directors in Switzerland, who, even after his first days in the role, clearly brings great drive and empathetic energy to further refine #LeCrans<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

The restaurant is also an exciting destination in Valais for non-hotel guests \u2013 even at lunchtime, with exceptional panoramic views in sunshine and clear conditions.<\/p>\n\n

All that remains is to quote the renowned Swiss hotel ranking \u201cThe 150 Best Hotels in Switzerland\u201d (Weber Verlag AG<\/a><\/strong> and NZZ<\/a><\/strong>) in its current 2025\/26 edition: \u201cIt seems as if one ages more slowly at \u2018LeCrans\u2019 than elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
