Six Senses Crans-Montana Wants You To Know It's A Summer Getaway Too
The main pool (minus the jaunty beach cabanas) Courtesy of the hotel The beach club, such as it is, is cute. A half-dozen green-and-white-striped changing cabanas have sprung up beside the main pool at the Six Senses Crans-Montana hotel in Switzerland, and an ice cream cart has been docked in the shade. Guests are invited to sip poolside spritzes and lunch on club sandwiches beneath sun umbrellas on the terrace. The nearest ocean beach, of course, is more than 200 miles away. Even the small lakes and ponds in the center of the town of Montana are a 15-minute walk away. But the Six Senses hotel is working with what it has, and what it has is lovely. That's even more true this year, its third summer of operation and its first with all of its warm-weather offerings in place. The 78-room hotel, like the larger region that it's part of, is still undoubtedly a snow sports destination, with its ski-in, ski-out access and slopeside location in one of Switzerland's largest and sunniest winter resorts. (It was acquired by Vail Resorts last year.) In fact, the summery beach club has sprung up on the site of Club Alpin, an après-ski favorite. The overall design, with its pitched rooflines and interiors clad in oak and larch, is the quintessential multimillionaire's take on the classic Swiss chalet. It feels purpose-built for fireplaces and fondue. A deluxe room John Athimaritis But as European ski meccas are seeing erratic winter snowfall and newfound summer interest, some of the smartest hotels and resorts in Switzerland and beyond are upping their warm-weather game. (North American mountains were way ahead in this regard, probably already well aware of the business advantages of operating year-round.) Open-air cinemas, festivals, concert series, pop-up restaurants and even creative-license-taking beach clubs are sprouting all over the continent. Six Senses Crans-Montana does it well. It's helped by the resort's summer offerings. Nearly 200 miles of signposted walking paths and hiking trails crisscross the region, passing by vineyards, green prairies, pine forests, clear mountain lakes and historic villages, with glacial snowcaps in the distance. More than 100 miles of biking tracks run down the hills, with 14 routes suitable for all skill levels, and the hotel's partner guides don't mind taking their snazzy electric mountain bikes along a road with guests who prefer their adrenaline in smaller doses. Or for those who like it in a more controlled form, the hotel has also partnered with a local paragliding outfitter. Their tandem rides soar above the mountain peaks and vineyards down to Sierre (the origin point for the funicular up to the resort). They do this in winter too, taking off at sunset and landing on the famous Crans-Montana golf course. One of the lakes in Crans-Montana Ann Abel There are softer experiences too, like a gentle trip up to a mayen (pasture partway up the mountain) for a hands-on lesson in the region's traditional Alpine-style cheesemaking, complete with a (pre-made) tome d'alpage cheese to take home, and a short jaunt to the hotel property's edge to suit up and observe the five beehives in action. The latter isn't one of those suddenly trending 'experiences' where the beekeeper drugs the bees with smoke so they're calm enough for guests to hold up a honeycomb frame for a photo. Rather, the hotel's sustainability director—every Six Senses has one, and they're deeply committed to meaningful, measurable initiatives—Dominic Dubois, conveys a sense of wonder as he explains the bees' complex social structure and the intricacies of maintaining compliance with Swiss beekeeping regulations. Dubois has a tough job, maintaining the hotel's Earth Lab—something else that's found across the brand—overseeing donations from the hotel-revenue-funded Six Senses Crans-Montana Sustainability Fund to grassroots community organizations, tracking data from the sawdust pellet heating system, and making all of this interesting to a clientele that's perhaps fed up with greenwashing and doesn't want to be lectured in any case. But he does it with enthusiasm and levity, whether it's discussing the mating habits of bees or leading a workshop in making upcycled candles from used kitchen oil. The spa pool John Athimaritis He's part of an international team that seem to bring the same level of enthusiasm to everything they do, whether it's describing the dishes on the new sharable-plates menu at the locavore main restaurant, Wild Cabin (the tomato salad with whipped local ricotta is a summer standout) or signing in guests at the extensive spa. The second of these is especially useful, since there's quite a bit to navigate. State-of-the-art is one of those phrases that get bandied about a little too much, but it's apt here. In contrast to the cute summer poolside cabanas, and somewhat in counterpoint to the hotel's whole 'disconnect to reconnect' philosophy, the spa has gone all in on tech. In addition to four saunas, a sensory floatation pod, indoor and outdoor pools, and a relaxation area with 15,000 hanging 'icicles' and views of a birch forest, it has a tricked-out room full of plugged-in wellness gear. The Biohack Recovery Lounge is a circuit of massaging headsets, Normatec compression boots, Hyperice X contrast therapy devices, and red-light face masks and full-body panels. While it's unclear what a single session with any of these accomplishes, it's an intriguing introduction to a growing corner of the longevity world. And it's another way that Six Senses Crans-Montana is announcing itself as a year-round destination.

I've been to over 20 countries. These 4 popular bucket-list items weren't as glamorous in real life as they looked on social media.
I travel a lot and have learned some experiences aren't as glamorous as they look on social media. Some spots, like LA's Hollywood Boulevard and Hawaii's Mānoa Falls, can get crowded. Although gorgeous, taking a gondola ride in Venice can be expensive. Social media has a way of airbrushing reality, especially when it comes to travel. Many people plan their entire vacations based on viral TikToks and Instagram photo ops, often without realizing what those places are actually like behind the lens. I've been lucky enough to explore over 20 countries, and have been everywhere from the Arctic Circle and the European countryside to the Caribbean. I love snapping photos and curating videos of my adventures along the way, but I'll also admit that social media can make every trip look like a dreamy highlight reel with perfect sunsets, pristine hotel rooms, or bucket-list adventures. Although I'll always be grateful for the chance to see the world, the truth is, not every moment is as glamorous as it looks online. Visiting Hollywood Boulevard isn't as glitzy as it seems. As someone who grew up in the Los Angeles area, I'm incredibly familiar with every tourist hot spot in the city. As a product of the suburbs, I glamorized the idea of visiting Hollywood and immersing myself among those famous sidewalk stars. The truth, though, is that Hollywood Boulevard is packed with crowds, speckled with trash, and has lots of overpriced attractions and gift shops. If you want a good view of the Hollywood sign, I recommend going to Griffith Park Observatory instead. There, you'll get an up-close look at the landmark and sweeping views of LA. Taking a gondola ride in Venice can be expensive. Venice has become one of my favorite cities for its dreamy waterways, cobblestone alleys, and vibrant atmosphere. I've visited over the past two years and have plans to return this summer. Although a gondola ride might seem like a Venice rite of passage, I have a hard time justifying a nearly $100 price tag for a 30-minute ride. It may be worth the splurge if a ride is a must on your itinerary. However, it's also worth looking into the public gondola transfers (aka the traghetto) across the larger waterways that only cost 2 euros (about $2.35). You'll be with a group of people for a short, 3-minute ride, but you can still get a quick snapshot of yourself on the gondola. Mānoa Falls in Honolulu can get crowded. The Mānoa Falls Trail is a lush, 1.6-mile round-trip hike near Honolulu that leads to a 150-foot-tall waterfall. It's a gorgeous trail that I think is worth doing during your visit to Oahu. However, in my experience, it's not as serene as it seems online, and there will likely be crowds gathered at the waterfall's base and the viewpoints throughout. You'll likely have difficulty getting photos without people in the background, especially if they're swimming in the fall's natural pool. I only got a decent picture of myself in front of the waterfall because it started raining and everyone else left. I'd recommend going early in the morning to beat some of the rush, or going on a gloomy day when there might be fewer people on the trail. Also, keep an eye out for outlets along the way to find small and secluded streams. The northern lights are much more vibrant in photos. Don't get me wrong: seeing the northern lights in Iceland was one of the best travel experiences of my life. However, the photos you see online often make them look like a much more saturated version of what they actually look like to the naked eye. More often, the lights are a faint haze of subtle hues. Although photos typically appear more vivid and colorful than the in-person display, watching the colors dance in the sky is awe-inspiring nonetheless.

Alinea brings fine dining pop-up to Montana ski country
Lincoln Park's three-Michelin-starred restaurant Alinea is taking its culinary theater to the Montana mountains this winter. Why it matters: A four-month pop-up aims to fuse a luxe dining experience with outdoor adventure, drawing food lovers to Big Sky Resort during its peak season. State of play: A concept called M by The Alinea Group will debut as part of a celebratory world tour marking the modernist tasting menu's 20th anniversary. Though short on menu specifics, the Montana residency, set in Mountain Village, will blend European technique with elements from the mountain terroir. What they're saying: "True luxury is finding the extraordinary in remote places," said chef Grant Achatz in a press statement. "That's what we're building here in Big Sky: something rare, fleeting, and deeply connected to nature." Zoom out: M is among a limited number of destinations on the restaurant's anniversary tour, along with Brooklyn, Miami Beach, Beverly Hills and Tokyo. What's next: Alinea's Big Sky outpost is set to open in mid-December — just in time for Chicagoans craving altitude with their fine dining. Reservations, which aren't live yet, are expected to sell out fast. Email to sign up for reservation notifications.
