Hotel Guarda Golf

Calling all golfers: predictably, for somewhere with the word ‘golf’ in its name, this hotel is so close to the course, it’s set on the first hole. It’s also one for the Swiss-chalet fans, since this wide-roofed wooden building has all the carved balconies and beams you could wish for. In summer, the Alps are there for mountain-biking and hiking, and in winter, the Crans-Montana slopes – and their eye-popping views of the Rhone Valley – await.
