So you've decided to try your hand at cross-country skiing but you don't feel like skiing around in circles?! Head east up the valley to Switzerland's second-largest cross-country ski area; Goms. Mile after glorious winter wonderland mile, over 100kms of the most beautiful cross-country skiing terrain. With the cross-country pistes prepared each morning, you'll make your way right through the villages of the Goms valley, along the frozen Rhône river and through snow covered larch forests. For lunch you'll stop and relax at any number of the local inns, enjoy the excellent cuisine and chill out with a glass of mulled wine while basking in the warm winter sun sparkling over the mountain ridges. At the end of the day we'll take a leisurely drive back to Crans-Montana and maybe stop on the way for a spot of shopping or sight seeing. The choice is yours.
