Where2Golf says: 

If golf was meant to be played in spectacular settings, you will find nowhere better than Crans-sur-Sierre. Perched at 5000 feet above sea-level, in Switzerland's Valais region, you are not just continually looking at stunning high Alpine scenery, you are part of it. Seve Ballesteros's design improvements to this wonderfully playable golf course, has ensured a layout that can test the best in the game, while still giving a thrilling golf experience to the aspiring amateur. The holes will fairly challenge you, sometimes a little bit tight between the tree-lined fairways, at other times revelling in the open majesty of the summer pasture environment. In winter skiers wizz down the fairways at speed, but from late-Spring to early-Autumn the sound of club on ball is all that is heard on this wonderfully natural and immensely scenic layout. The best golf course in the high Alps is complemented by three wonderful 9-hole courses: the Nicklaus course will give your game a full workout; the Noas will sharpen your accuracy and iron play, while the Super-Crans course is a fun Pitch & Putt layout for golfers of all abilities.
