Grimentz Ski Resort
Located in the picturesque Val d’Anniviers in the southwest of Switzerland, Grimentz is home to some of the country’s best lift-accessed off piste.
Since the Sorebois cable car was built in 2013 to link it neighbouring Zinal, Grimentz has slipped firmly on to the radar of British skiers and snowboarders. Many are rightfully drawn to the resort by the cute villages and the peace and quiet, but an increasing number are coming here for the vast off piste and freeriding potential of the resort. After fresh snowfall, the options are almost limitless, both within the confines of the lift system and beyond – where there are some exceptional touring options.
Ski Club Freshtracks have been making the most of this for several years and again this winter, three off piste skiing weeks are based in Grimentz – with six days of expert mountain guiding included in the holiday price.
There are rarely waits for the lifts in Grimentz but the resort is concentrating on reducing lift waiting times even further - this season a six-seater chairlift will replace the current Les Crêts two-seater and for the 2020/21 season a ten-seater gondola will replace the Zinal-Sorebois cable car, reducing the travel time by almost 250%!
