The Kurator's summer destination round-up: Beyond the obvious
Some summer trips stay with you long after the tan fades - not because of what you saw, but because of how it felt to be there. That's the thread running through the places on this list. Each one, in its own way, hands you back the full, leisurely version of the season - the heat, light, long evenings, and the produce that's only this good for eight weeks a year. Six Senses Crans-Montana
As summer draws to a close, certain destinations linger in our memories not just for the sights they offer, but for the unique atmosphere they create. This list captures just such places - those that envelop you in the very essence of the season, be it the warmth, light, or the fleeting flavors that are available only during these eight warm weeks each year.
At the top of the list is Six Senses Crans-Montana, a luxury retreat perched above the main gondola in Crans. This haven offers a serene escape from the summer heat, nestled into the mountainside and offering sweeping views of the Swiss Alps. The property, spanning both modern guestrooms and traditional chalet-style suites, redefines Alpine luxury through its innovative architecture and focus on holistic well-being.
After a day of exploring, guests can unwind at the Six Senses Spa, where ancient wellness practices are reimagined with modern technology. The culinary offerings are equally impressive, with two restaurants and an all-day dining experience at the Wild Cabin where local flavors take center stage.
