Grimentz is located in the Val d'Anniviers and is an unspoilt, mountain village. Winter: For beginners and intermediates there are high, varied runs on the open slopes above the excellent mid mountain children's nursery area of Bendolla (2,100m). For experts the off-piste terrain is first class: high (1,570m - 2,900m), East and North facing, snow sure and largely untracked. There are some good reds and a genuine black and a fabulous North facing itinerary route from Zinal back to Grimentz. The Valley lift pass also covers the neighbouring resorts including Zinal (to which Grimentz will link by cable car in 2009). The total area gives 220 km of piste (Grimentz on its own gives 60km). Summer: Grimentz is a traditional farming village. Cows graze the high Alpine pasture - the mountains echoing with the sound of their bells. Glaciers flow into the beautiful azure Moiry Lake and there are exceptional walking and mountain bike trails.
