Association des communes de Crans-Montana (ACCM)

What Association des communes de Crans-Montana (ACCM) does

The Association des communes de Crans-Montana (ACCM) is a public intercommunal association established under articles 116 and following of the Loi sur les communes du 5 février 2004, uniting the Swiss municipalities of Crans-Montana, Icogne, and Lens in the canton of Valais. Its purpose is to harmonize and stimulate regional development by delivering a shared portfolio of municipal services that would be inefficient or impossible for any single small commune to provide alone. ACCM is governed by a 29-member Assembly of Delegates (19 from Crans-Montana, 8 from Lens, 2 from Icogne) and an executive Comité Directeur composed of the three commune presidents plus a vice-president, with a rotating two-year presidency currently held by Nicolas Féraud (2025-2026).
