Swiss Alps, Switzerland 🇨🇭
Two beautifully preserved Valais villages linked into one 75 km domain, Grimentz-Zinal is a freeride favourite deep in the Val d'Anniviers. Big, north-facing snow and grand 4000 m peaks define it.
Generally yes. From 1570 m at the base to 2900 m up top, the profile holds snow well across a normal winter (score 83/100).
This is more of a valley base than a slopeside village, so expect a lift, train or shuttle to the snow each morning. Staying central, near the main lift, saves the most time.
With 75 km of piste on 17 lifts, it is a mid-size area, easy to get to know over a long weekend. The terrain is balanced (0 green, 18 blue, 30 red, 16 black), which suits a mixed-level group skiing together.
Grimentz-Zinal stands out for serious off-piste and freeride terrain.
The season usually runs Dec 14 to Apr 14 (about 17 weeks). For the most dependable cover, the deep-winter window of January to February is the safe bet. Conditions soften as spring arrives, so earlier in the window is the safer call.
