Val d'Anniviers sits in the canton of Valais, southeast of Sierre, and connects several traditional villages including Zinal, Grimentz, and St-Luc — each with their own ski areas and a shared lift pass covering the wider valley. The valley has remained relatively uncommercialised compared to neighbours such as Verbier or Zermatt, which means quieter slopes and a more authentic village experience. Hotel Bella Tola offers ski-in, ski-out access, removing the need for shuttle buses or car transfers to reach the lifts. The valley is accessible by rail via Sierre, which sits on the main Swiss rail network, with connecting bus or transfer services into the valley. For guests flying in, Geneva and Zurich airports are the primary gateways, both within reasonable transfer distance.

Authentic Swiss charm meets thrilling freeride terrain in the heart of the Valais Alps.
Val d'Anniviers is one of Switzerland's best-kept secrets, offering an authentic alpine experience far removed from the mega-resorts. Comprising picturesque, sun-drenched villages like Grimentz, Zinal, Saint-Luc, Chandolin, and Vercorin, the valley is steeped in tradition, featuring ancient sun-blackened timber chalets and a distinct, unhurried atmosphere. Skiers and snowboarders are drawn to its 220 kilometers of diverse, uncrowded pistes, which are accessed via a single valley-wide ski pass. Grimentz and Zinal, linked by a spectacular cable car, provide a haven for freeriders with high-altitude, north-facing slopes that hold pristine powder. Meanwhile, Saint-Luc and Chandolin sit on the sunny, eastern side of the valley, offering spectacular panoramic views of four-thousand-meter peaks, including the Matterhorn. The appeal of Val d'Anniviers lies in its combination of raw natural beauty, thrilling off-piste access, and deeply rooted Swiss heritage. It caters perfectly to those seeking a mix of challenging mountain adventures and quiet, romantic evenings enjoying traditional Valaisanne cuisine by a roaring fire.
The skiing spans across multiple distinct sectors, offering everything from sunny, sweeping blue and red runs in Saint-Luc/Chandolin to steep, technical descents and legendary freeride terrain in Zinal. The recent cable car connection between Grimentz and Zinal has created a vast, varied playground with breathtaking views of the Imperial Crown of 4,000m peaks.
A dramatic, high-altitude region in southwestern Switzerland renowned for its towering 4,000m peaks, excellent snow reliability, and traditional alpine culture.
