Ultima Crans-Montana
Sophisticated eyries from an award-winning duo
In 2016 Byron Baciocchi and Max-Hervé George garnered praise – and awards – with their debut residence Ultima Gstaad, and now they raise the level of intimate sophistication a notch higher still with a pair of independent chalets with cutting-edge amenities in another Swiss resort. The newly conceived Crans-Montana outpost of Ultima is a 3,850sq eyrie with ten suites and dedicated billiard and fitness rooms which, along with its cosy six-bedroom sister property, benefits from a concierge service, on-site chef and direct access to the Ultima Spa and Clinic.
