Resort Details
In Detail
The Resort
The resort's immediate slopes are seamlessly linked to neighboring Zinal via a spectacular 3km-long cable car, creating a combined high-altitude ski area renowned for its snow reliability and dramatic views of the Imperial Crown—a magnificent ring of 4,000m peaks including the Matterhorn and Weisshorn. The pistes are generally uncrowded, well-groomed, and predominantly face north and east, preserving excellent snow quality throughout the season.
Beyond the marked runs, Grimentz is a celebrated off-piste paradise. The upper reaches of the Roc d'Orzival and the vast backcountry terrain of the Val d'Anniviers draw expert skiers looking for untouched powder bowls and steep descents. Yet, its gentle nursery slopes at Bendolla and highly regarded local ski schools ensure it remains warmly welcoming to families and intermediates seeking a truly authentic alpine escape.
On the Mountain
Grimentz offers a spectacular mix of long scenic red runs, gentle rolling blues, and some of the best lift-accessed off-piste terrain in the Alps. The seamless cable car connection to Zinal dramatically expands the terrain, providing high-altitude snow reliability and incredible descents for all abilities.
