  • 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 โ€“ where there are some exceptional touring options.

    Pros and cons

    • Loads of tough on and off piste terrain
    • Great access to some fantastic touring terrain
    • Cute village with traditional chalet-style buildings
    • Little on offer for beginners and intermediates
    • South facing slopes can become slushy
    • Antiquated lift system โ€“ still a lot of t-bars

    On the Slopes

    There are certainly better places for beginners to begin their skiing or snowboarding careers, however there is a decent Jardin des Neiges for first timers up at Bendolla. Progression on to longer blues is good, with the Grands Plans and Tsarva lifts providing some cruisey blues. Beyond this, the terrain for intermediates is fairly limited and some of the reds here are pretty steep in places.

    On piste, there are some good challenges for advanced and expert skiers and riders, particularly in the Lona sector โ€“ where even the groomed reds are steep. Try the long Chamois black from the Zinal ski area, it can be a blast if the snow conditions are good. The real attraction for experts however is the extensive off-piste. There are loads of options, including over 1500m vertical down to Vercorin, returning from there to the village of St-Jean, a bus ride from Grimentz.

    In the Resort

    The village is spread out on quite a steep slope with a lot of new building โ€“ but most of these are traditional wooden chalets. Most of this focuses around the base of the Bendolla gondola, slightly away from the chocolate-box old centre. Although the resort is generally quiet, as the lifts close, Chez Florioz on the piste just above the village is the place for a drink. The best restaurants are probably those in the main hotels, serving traditional Valais fare. Away from the slopes there is a lot to do, including winter walking and tobogganing, whilst thereโ€™s also a good public pool and a natural ice-rink. Paragliding is also very popular here.

    Getting to Grimentz

    Geneva airport is around two hours away by car, or a little over three hours by public transport โ€“ you get the train to Sierre and then the bus. Zรผrich and Basel are other options, with the drive taking around three hours and the train taking an hour longer.
    • Geneva airport: 2 hours (driving) or 3 hours (public transport)
    • Basel airport: 3 hours (driving) or 4 hours (public transport)
    • Zรผrich airport: 3 hours (driving) or 4 hours (public transport)
    • Calais: approximately 11 hours driving (550 miles)
