The cinema in the heart of the resort
On Rue Centrale, right in the heart of Crans-Montana, the Cinécran is the resort’s cinema. You come for the big films of the moment, in a friendly hall, often after a day outdoors. It is the perfect activity when the weather changes: a warm outing, a stone’s throw from the lodgings, without having to go back down to the valley.
What your children will discover
The Cinécran shows the big films on release, including animated features and family hits depending on the programme. In the mountains, it is a lovely option to give children a warm moment, especially on bad-weather days. Remember to check the recommended age and the language of the film.
What you do there and the atmosphere on site
You get your ticket (the box office opens about 30 minutes before the screening), and settle into the hall, where seats are not numbered. The atmosphere is that of a resort cinema, simple and warm. A cosy interlude between two outdoor activities.
