The Search crew just got in touch to say that they’ve added Crans Montana in Switzerland to their list of daytrips destinations.

According to Nick and the team Crans offers flat out, pedal to the metal riding that’s rapidly becoming a ‘must visit’ Alpine spot. If you want to check it out they can show you the way and make sure you get the best out of your trip.

Super high, super fast:

“Crans Montana is just coming onto the radar as another classic riding spot.  Swiss Cup races have been held there for many years and all the UK racers who have entered came back raving about the place.

Nestled high up in the Valais region, Crans Montana is one of the more affluent resorts in Switzerland.  The fast modern gondola takes you up to nearly 3000m before you drop into the fast purpose built trails.  Speed is a defining feature of the trails here with long smooth berms and floaty jumps.  There are also some pretty unique technical sections on the race track that will challenge any rider!”
