Ultima Crans-Montana: A Private Chalet of Swiss Opulence in the Alps
High in the Swiss Alps, where the peaks stretch skyward, Ultima Crans-Montana emerges as a beacon of luxury. This isn't your ordinary hotel experience—this is where private chalets, world-class wellness and a backdrop of snow-dusted mountains come together to create the kind of getaway that feels as if you’ve stepped into a living postcard. They call it Ultima for a reason. Let’s dive into what makes Ultima Crans-Montana the go-to for an elevated ski season.
The ultimate in private experiences
Ultima Crans-Montana is part of the broader Ultima Collection, renowned for its high-end, tailor-made experiences. This location offers private residences that function more like extravagant homes, and that’s the point! Think luxury chalets with space to spare, equipped with private spas, personal chefs and all the upscale amenities your winter getaway requires. And, positioned in the altitude of Plateau de Plan-Mayens, you are in the midst of 360-degree, jaw-dropping forest views.
There are two chalets on the property, appropriately named Ultima Chalet 1 and Ultima Chalet 2, the first having eight bedrooms and second six, both with a laundry list of amenities. With accommodations for up to 38 guests, you can choose to rent both properties or just the first chalet, either way it’s only you and your party. It’s like being handed the keys to your dream home—if your dream home happens to be perched on a Swiss mountain with stunning views.
Speaking of private experiences, look right outside your windows to the on-site lake.
Arriving to alpine chic
When you pull up to Ultima Crans-Montana, don’t expect towering hotel buildings or overly ornate fa?ades. Instead, the exteriors are contemporary and definitively alpin—stone and wood elegantly blended to feel both modern and timeless. Large windows reflect the surrounding beauty of the snowcapped mountains and the quiet luxury is clear from the moment you arrive. It's as though the chalets have been designed to complement the landscape, making them feel more like an extension of the mountain than a foreign structure on it.
Inside, the tone shifts from cozy alpine to sophisticated grandeur. The common areas are anything but common. Expect warm wood paneling, luxurious leather accents, and oversized chandeliers that cast a soft, welcoming glow over the rooms. There's a harmonious balance between opulence and warmth, making it feel both lavish and homey. It’s the kind of place where you’d sip a glass of aged whisky by the fire, reveling in the day’s skiing adventures or unwinding in one of the lounges where rich textures and muted colors invite you to relax.
Chalet living done right
The bedrooms are complete with open living spaces, private terraces and en-suite bathrooms that look more like mini-spas. Marble floors, fireplaces and deep-soaking tubs make it clear this is luxury, but not in a “look but don’t touch” kind of way. It's more like “put your feet up, you’ve earned it.”
And for those wondering if there’s enough space for the whole family, yes, there is. These chalets are practically built for multi-generational vacations, large groups or just anyone who appreciates a little (or a lot) of elbow room. Two dormitory style rooms are available for the kids, complete with lofted hangout areas. And if you need some alone time, then we can arrange for babysitting services, so you can hit the spa without a second thought.
Continue on through the property and you’ll find an arcade room, cigar lounge, an underground bar, a billiard room and a cinema room. Well, we’re sold. Can’t find something? Ask your private Butler, who is ready to meet any request.

A private affair with Ultima Signature Services
Dining at Ultima is about as personalized as it gets. Thanks to the Ultima Signature Services, meals are crafted to your preferences by a private chef in the comfort of your own chalet. There’s no need to worry about reservations or navigating through a crowded dining room. Instead, sit back and enjoy gourmet dishes created from seasonal ingredients, each meal tailored to your tastes. Whether you're craving traditional Swiss fondue after a long day on the slopes or something more exotic, it’s all within your reach. You decide what’s on the menu, and the chefs make it happen.
Your mornings will be spent dining on what the property calls the “Luxury Ultima Breakfast” and yes, that’s as grand and delicious as it sounds. Don’t worry about groceries either, you’ll arrive with a fully stocked space for your hungry travelers.
But that’s not where the indulgence ends. Ultima’s Signature Services extend beyond dining into realms of wellness and personal pampering. The property is equipped with its own 1,000 square meter (yep!) spa facilities, and you can book everything from deep-tissue massages to personalized wellness treatments right in your chalet. You’ll be able to (at any moment) rejuvenate in the sauna, hammam and heated outdoor pool. And, the impressive wood-paneled gym has you actually wanting to keep up that workout routine in between ski sessions–the chalet’s private fitness coach & physiotherapist will make sure of that.
Yet, inevitably, you’ll need to be seen, so the private Chauffeur's on the property will transport you in style to your favorite restaurant or shop for a bit of meandering.
Skiing, Snowshoeing, and Beyond
Beyond the chalet, KAX will coordinate with the concierge team to organize everything from your lift passes to heli-skiing adventures. We’ve got it all covered—because who wants to stress when they’re on holiday?
Ultima Crans-Montana places you at the heart of one of Switzerland’s premier ski destinations. Whether you're a powder hound or just testing the waters, the slopes here cater to all levels. You’ll have access to Crans-Montana’s expansive ski area, with runs that range from beginner-friendly to more challenging terrains for advanced skiers. There’s also heli-skiing for those looking to push the boundaries, whisking you off to untouched peaks for an unforgettable descent.
Prefer something a little less intense? Snowshoeing, sledding and even scenic helicopter tours offer alternate ways to enjoy the snow. For those who like to mix skiing with other winter fun, there’s dog sledding (Apollo-approved) and ice skating to keep everyone entertained. The town of Crans-Montana itself is also worth exploring, with a selection of upscale shops and restaurants—because you’ll need some downtime (and a few things from the Louis Vuitton store) off the slopes too.
A quick peek at summer
Though ski season is the star of the show, Ultima Crans-Montana doesn’t close up shop when the snow melts. In summer, the resort becomes a hub for mountain biking, hiking, and golfing. If you're into wellness, yoga sessions on the terrace with sweeping mountain views might be just what you need to unwind. The chalets and the surrounding area transform into a lush, green paradise perfect for those who like their outdoor activities served with a side of elegance.
Ultima Crans-Montana is the kind of place where everyday is retreating to your own private chalet, indulging in personalized meals and spending your time in the mountains, whether you're on skis, snowshoes or a sled. Every detail is designed for ultimate comfort and luxury, and that’s what makes it stand out. If you’re after a Swiss winter experience where extravagance meets intimacy, Ultima Crans-Montana will exceed your expectations—without ever making you feel like you have to compromise on anything.
