A cosy family hotel away from the crowds

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 6 Apr 2020
Hotel de la Foret is located at the far end of the Montana part of Crans Montana, on the main road with an exceptional view over the Rhone Valley and Alpine ranges. It has parking space up to a limit (hard to have a space when the hotel is fully booked). It is a ten minute walk to the skilifts and cable cars taking you to the 3000m Plaine Morte. The centre of Montana is 15 minutes away, and a walk to the funiculaire to Sierre takes 7 minutes (the funiculaire to Sierre takes 12 minutes, it is an amazing ride!). Rooms at de la Foret are on the tiny side and bathrooms give away its 1970s origin.
Service is very helpful and friendly and there is a generous breakfast buffet. In terms of price: excellent value for money!

Television is to small and not a lot of channels. Bathroom with the old equipment. But the Service it's very good, I think they must change little things and all its ok. I hope this message can help you.

We went as a couple and got a nice big room with three beds. it was very clean. we got the room on the side without a balcony.
It is really a three star hotel so no special amenities (so for example small tv,a bit old stylish cupboard) but the bed was very comfortable and the stuff was nice,bathroom was spacious with bathtub.
We went without car and it is a 7 minutes walk from the station. Good price for this hotel. In addition: nice breakfast (no omelettes but still enjoyable:)

I stayed at the Hotel de la Forêt a while back and it was very beautiful. The location is good, however, since it is on the way up the mountain it can be a bit hard to reach. The room was very comfortable and quite spacious. The breakfast buffet has many options, offering a range of pastries, eggs, cereals, fruits, and different kind of beverages. The lounge beside the reception area is also very nice. The staff is also very nice and friendly and the price is very reasonable.

I came here with my wife for our honeymoon and had the time of our lives! Not only was the hotel impeccably appointed and presented, the attentiveness of the staff was second to none. My wife and I were personally greeted and congratulated by the manager Raph, who was the kindest and most helpful hotel staff we've ever met. We'll definitely be returning for our anniversary! Appreciate it!

I stayed at the hotel de la Forêt on March 23 and 24 and was delighted with the hotel.

Its location is perfect, close to the Signal and Violettes gondolas (which can be quickly reached by bus) and walking distance to the restaurants, shops and lakes in the center of Montana.

My room was spacious and comfortable: from the balcony I had a beautiful view over the valley and the Alps, my double bed was spacious with extra pillows and a comfortable mattress, the bedroom was roomy and toasty warm. I did miss having either a hot water kettle or a coffee machine in my room.

The breakfast buffet was plentiful featuring fruits, breads, pastries, cheese and meats, hard boiled eggs, cereals, hot drinks and juices. The lounge/bar is lovely and enjoyable.

The two gentlemen hosts were well informed and eager to please. I can only highly recommend this hotel and I will most certainly return in the near future.

Room tip: My room had a lovely balcony with a view over the valley and the Alps.
