Architecture Actescollectifs Architects
Covered with natural local stone, the building’s exterior at once blends in with its environment and is a striking juxtaposition to its luxuriously cozy interiors. Generous windows let the nature flow in.
Interior design Actescollectifs Architects
The public spaces, such as the popular après-ski bar and restaurant, feature cozy furniture and special lighting to create comfy nooks. The windows in the 19 rooms and suites frame spectacular views of the mountains. The luxe interiors contrast rough materials like stone against plush bedding and furniture, resulting in Alpine interiors far from traditional but in keeping with the surroundings.

Chetzeron Restaurant Local meets global
Chetzeron Restaurant serves a wide range of Alpine classics, from traditional Valais-based specialties to contemporary wonders. An exclusive selection of Valais-based, French, and Italian wines chosen by Françoise Lamaa are stored in the hotel’s natural cellar.
Superior relaxation Zen wellness
Go from the slopes to the sublime in wellness facilities that combine a Zen atmosphere with high-end equipment. Indulge in an area that includes an outdoor heated pool, steam room, hammam, and sauna. And surrender to an assortment of massages under the skilled hands of expert therapists.
Sustainability Keeping an eye on our Conscious Hotel Principles
The building was recovered and renovated, the exterior stone was recovered from three kilometers away, and the materials were sourced from local companies.
The hotel limits food waste and the use of plastic, PET, paper, cardboard, etc. In the rooms, there are no coffee machines, kettles, tea sachets, or coffee capsules.
The building is equipped with solar panels, pellet heating, heat recovery, and highly efficient glass wool insulation. Chetzeron has Minergie certification for buildings with very low energy consumption.
Water is taken from a dam a few kilometers from Chetzeron, stored in a tank, and filtered on-site. It is considered a precious commodity that is conserved as much as possible.
Food is sourced from local producers only. Materials in the rooms are also sourced locally, such as bedding and furniture. The Kaaita slippers are made from plastic bottles and can be recycled.
The hotel works with regional artisans, exhibits the work of local artists, participates in cultural events such as the Vision Art Festival, and more.
Chetzeron promotes eco-friendly recreation via such labels as Food, Slow Food Travel, Swisstainable from Switzerland Tourism, Label Fait Maison, and more.
Guests are encouraged to use the Crans-Montana ski lifts to get to the hotel. When the lifts are not working, 4x4 vehicles must be arranged. Journeys are limited and a hybrid vehicle is used.
The hotel favors year-round contracts, though it is a seasonal establishment. Leadership encourages internal promotions.
By crafting authentic experiences from emotional memories, this hospitality visionary has created a rare, sky-high wonder.
Over the years, we’ve learned that our Originals are individuals who push the very boundaries of hospitality. And they don’t fit neatly into any one category—just like their hotels.
More than just a buzzword, the eco credentials of these destinations will have you hitting the slopes with a clean conscience.
High in the hills of Crans-Montana, Switzerland, an abandoned gondola station has been transformed into the striking hotel Chetzeron. The commitment to environmental responsibility began with that very idea.
