Here's how the night scene works in the twin playgrounds of Montana and Crans: Head for a pub both before and after dinner. Suitably rowdy choices with a bit of flair and humor include Amadeus Pub, rue Centrale, in Crans-Montana (tel. 027/481-24-95); and the woodsy and British-looking George & Dragon, rue du Grand-Place, in Crans (tel. 027/481-54-96). After your obligatory pints of beer, which cost around 6F ($4.90/£2.55) each, head off to any of the resort's discos, preferably after midnight. The best of them is l'Absolut Club, rue Centrale, in Crans (tel. 027/481-65-96). The cover is around 20F ($16/£8.30), which includes the first drink, and both mingle -- in ways that can be a lot of fun -- electronic dance music with bouts of folkloric evergreen.
