Ski area Grimentz - Zinal
With the "Val d'Anniviers" ski pass, you have access to 195 kilometres of piste and 15 km of ski routes of all levels of difficulty as well as a total of 46 lifts in the 3 ski areas of Grimentz - Zinal, Vercorin and Saint Luc - Chandolin (see ski region). At an altitude of 1,340 to 3,026 metres, winter sports enthusiasts will find a wide range of adventures in the best snow conditions. From ski tours and numerous off-piste options to the ultimate adrenaline rush of heli-skiing, everything is on offer.
The "Grimentz - Zinal" ski area stretches from 1,570 metres to 2,900 metres above sea level. The two ski areas have only been connected by a 3 km long cable car, the third longest in Switzerland, since the beginning of 2014. Since then, winter sports enthusiasts with the "Grimentz - Zinal" lift pass have 21 lifts and 115 km of perfectly groomed ski slopes at their disposal. These are divided fairly evenly between the different levels of difficulty, so there is the right piste for every winter sports enthusiast.
The "Gardes de Bordon" off-piste area is particularly suitable for experienced freeriders, who can enjoy an incredible 100 hectares of untouched powder snow. Vast natural landscapes and steep slopes provide the ultimate thrill and can be skied indefinitely up to avalanche danger level 3.
The "Grimentz - Zinal" ski area also caters for younger skiers: a children's ski slope with a wide variety of obstacles and stations makes the first attempts at skiing a fun experience.
