Lifts/cable cars Crans-Montana

Four gondola lifts, ranging from older to more modern, lead up from Crans, Montana and Violettes to the ski resort. A funitel (wind stable gondola lift with two parallel cables) brings guests from Plain Morte up to 2883 m. Multiple detachable chair lifts distributed throughout the ski resort await the guests, but none of them have weather protectors. There are also some t-bar lifts available for beginners.
