A cable car from town whisks you up to Sorebois at the heart of the local ski area,
from which a network of blues, reds and blacks radiate out to a lofty 2896m. The main attraction however is the lift-served off piste, which is excellent, as well as the epic descent down to Grimentz via the Chamois black – which drops a thigh-burning 1326m of vertical. This then accesses another pod of long, steep slopes which after fresh snowfall transform into an off piste paradise. Catch the long cable car back, the same cable car that linked the two resorts in 2013 to form the Val d’Anniviers ski area.
In town there are a handful of hotels, rustic chalets to rent and a number of newer accommodation options – but all of these are still tastefully designed.
There are some good, traditional restaurants to choose from in town and also on the hill, but off slope activities are relatively limited in comparison to other Swiss resorts as skiing is very much the focus.

Snow Overview
Switzerland
Updated 02/05
Warm weather opens the weekend across Switzerland, with the freezing line sitting high at close to or above 4,000m throughout. Things change as the weekend continues, with temperatures cooling as the freezing line comes down to as low as 1,500m.
Cloud cover dominates, and with it precipitation; this will fall as rain initially, but will turn to snow as temperatures fall. Around 12cm will fall in steady flurries throughout the weekend and into the new week, falling almost entirely on higher ground as the freezing line remains above 2,000m during this period.
High pressure brings fine, dry and bright conditions especially across the west of the region.
Thus concludes our snow overviews for this season. Thank you to everyone who has read them this season, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
