Upon completion, the 47–room Six Senses Crans-Montana will operate under a long-term management agreement. The resort marks a significant milestone for Six Senses development and will be in one of the region’s most prominent ski areas. Located in the canton of Valais, Geneva is two hours away by car and train.

Resort accommodation includes 47 guest rooms and suites, with 17 Six Senses residential units already available for purchase. They include three-bedroom loft units and four-bedroom configurations, which are being sold on-plan and marketed by high-end property agent BARNES. They have the special Crans-Montana provision that allows 13 of them to be bought by foreigners as second homes. This is one of the last construction projects in Switzerland that is able to offer residences for sale to foreigners.
This project will offer an amazing selection of outdoor activities, including onsite ski-in and ski-out access, plus a rich wellness offering.

Follow the Six Senses philosophy of sustainability
Consistent with Six Senses sustainability focus, recycled and local materials will be selected by the architect and design teams and repurposed materials will be used in the manufacture of finishes including flooring, millwork and fabrics. Energy and water conservation also plays a key role in the project’s design. Efficient lighting, lighting controls, ozone protection and renewable energy sources will be featured at the resort.
The design team is dedicated to establishing energy efficient systems and equipment integrated throughout the design, following Six Senses sustainability guidelines as a minimum. A black water and grey water system are to be included into the infrastructure of the project, ensuring that wastewater is not wasted but reused within the building operations. Rainwater will also be collected for treatment and use.
Six Senses Crans-Montana is slated to open in 2020.
