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 07/04

After a good couple of weeks for the Swiss Alps, particular after the arrival of a series of Nordstau events, things settle down through this week as high pressure brings fine, dry and bright conditions to the region.

Temperatures will be warm, with the freezing line dropping only to 2,500m overnight and climbing as high as 3,500m in the midday sun. A rare flutter of cloud could move in over on Friday and Sunday, but otherwise spring is firmly here in the Swiss Alps.

A couple of flurries of snow could fall early next week as the freezing line drops in to the new week, but it remains a bit too early to tell exactly how much, when, and where this might fall.
