Grimentz and Zinal are two old Val d'Anniviers villages linked on the mountain; gondolas climb from each, with most lodging a short walk from the lift base.
Grimentz and Zinal are two of the most authentic villages in the Valais, dark-timber hamlets in the wild Val d'Anniviers, now joined by lifts into a single 75 km domain. The skiing is high, north-facing and snow-sure, with a serious freeride reputation and a grandstand of 4000 m peaks including the Weisshorn and the Besso. It is a connoisseur's resort: small in pisted terrain but big on snow, scenery and off-piste adventure.
