European Masters Crans-Montana

Arguably the most stunning course on the European Tour, the Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club draws some 50,000 spectators each year to the Valais Alps to see the world’s top golfers swing at altitudes so high and in air so clear that balls actually travel up to 15 percent farther. As for diversions in between rounds, CransMontana also boasts all the trappings that come from being a ski town: great accommodation, outdoor activities galore, and fabulous nightlife ( September 7–10; omega europeanmasters.com).
