Swanky Crans-Montana Resort

Largely another travel day today as we say goodbye to Ouchy/Lausanne and head to the resort in Crans-Montana.

Our morning was free, so we decided to walk up to and through the botanical garden. We found some funny statues mid tumble down the hill, which I was compelled to mimic, much to Laura's delight.

We checked out of the hotel and did a quick load of laundry at the laundromat, urging the dryer to speed it along so we could race up the hill and catch the next train (we made it).

Once we disembarked in Sierre, we rode the funicular up to Crans-Montana the hotel shuttle was waiting for us. And by shuttle, I mean Maybach. After muscling our luggage up to and off of the funicular, I thoroughly enjoyed the air conditioned massaging seats while our driver raced through the twisting and turning roads winding the way up the hills to the ski resort.

We enjoyed the view from our room's balcony with a glass of champagne. We enjoyed a quick nap (I'm still dealing with that head cold), and then went to enjoy the resorts pools, hot tub, sauna, and steam bath.

Our driver took us back down into town for dinner, where we ate outside at a charming Italian restaurant. The owner was delighted by Laura's mastery of Italian, and ensured that every part of our meal was delightful.Baca selengkapnya
