This winter, Six Senses Crans-Montana is embarking on a new chapter in its culinary journey, unveiling two reimagined dining experiences that highlight authenticity, creativity, and craftsmanship. The resort’s signature Japanese restaurant, Byakko, reopened following an extensive redesign, introducing a softer yet vibrant ambiance. Under the leadership of new Executive Chef Yukta Ghale, Byakko delivers a refined and authentic interpretation of Japanese cuisine.
Launching in early December 2025, Ora Bar will become the resort’s dynamic social hub. Guests can enjoy cocktails and mocktails crafted from locally sourced ingredients, accompanied by curated DJ sets, live performances, and an energetic atmosphere that captures the essence of the destination of Crans-Montana.
“Culinary excellence is at the heart of our vision, which is why we are elevating our signature dining experiences alongside our dedicated team. Our goal is to offer cuisine at Six Senses Crans-Montana that is lively, authentic, and sophisticated,” says General Manager Jean-Yves Blatt. The resort’s shared-dining concept, Wild Cabin, introduced in early summer 2025, has already proven a success, quickly becoming a guest favorite.
Byakko: A Feast for the Senses, Inspired by Nature
Byakko embodies the culinary evolution of Six Senses Crans-Montana, seamlessly blending tradition and innovation following a complete redesign. Under the guidance of Chef Yukta, the restaurant celebrates the essence of Japanese cuisine with subtle, contemporary touches. Carefully sourced seasonal ingredients are transformed into dishes that are both authentic and refined, from delicate sashimi to slow-simmered broths and charcoal-grilled specialties, showcasing artisanal skill and a deep respect for nature. The serene, minimalist interior, crafted from natural materials and thoughtful details, enhances the dining experience with a sense of calm and elegance.
Ora Bar & Lounge: A Dynamic Escape Above the Alps
Ora Bar & Lounge brings a fresh, lively energy to Six Senses Crans-Montana, perfectly complementing Byakko’s culinary journey. Reopening in December 2025 after an expansion and redesign, the space combines warmth, light, and an inviting atmosphere with sweeping views of the Alps. Guests can enjoy cocktails and mocktails crafted from regional ingredients within 100 miles, alongside elevated small bites, whether gathering after a day on the slopes or relaxing with friends in the evening. A curated soundtrack of guest DJs and handpicked playlists sets the mood, while the dedicated cigar and cognac lounge adds a touch of refined indulgence. Ora Bar & Lounge promises memorable moments in a sophisticated setting.
Together, Byakko and Ora Bar & Lounge embody a harmonious evolution of Six Senses Crans-Montana, offering guests a balance of culinary artistry and enriching social experiences. From the serene setting of Byakko to the energetic pulse of Ora Bar & Lounge, the resort invites visitors to awaken their senses, savor exceptional moments, and create lasting memories in the heart of the Swiss Alps.
