Hotel Olympic

Book

From the outside, Hotel Olympic blends classic Alpine charm with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Step inside and you’ll find a warm, unfussy interior with a friendly reception, cosy lounge spaces, and that familiar buzz of a place that’s used to hosting athletes, mountain-goers, and weekend adventurers alike. It’s easygoing, authentic, and perfectly placed for everything you need.

The hotel operates on a room-only basis, giving you total flexibility when it comes to fuelling your race your way. While there’s no in-house restaurant, you’re just steps from a wide choice of local cafés, bakeries, and healthy dining spots where you can grab what suits your schedule – whether that’s a pre-dawn coffee or a hearty post-race meal.

There’s no dedicated spa or indoor pool here, but for those who like to loosen up post-run or activate before a big climb, the hotel does offer access to a basic fitness area. For deeper recovery or spa-style relaxation, several wellness centres in Crans-Montana are close by – and we’ll happily point you to our favourites.

Outside, you’ve got the mountains on your doorstep. Whether it’s stretching your legs with an easy walk, doing some light mobility in the fresh air, or simply soaking up the alpine views with a coffee in hand, the outdoor space around the hotel is a big plus – especially when the sun’s out.

Rooms are straightforward and comfortable – not flashy, but well-equipped with everything you need to rest and recover. Expect quality bedding, blackout curtains, and a calm environment to help you wind down after a big effort. There’s also free Wi-Fi and plenty of space to stash your kit, so you can stay connected and organised during your trip.
