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 11/02
Good snowfall is due for much of Switzerland over the coming week, as a large and strong storm system moves in over much of the Western Alps. Temperatures will peak briefly through the middle of this period as the freezing line climbs from 1,500m to 2,000m, although this will fall again as the week continues eventually hitting sea level by the weekend.
Snow is already falling on Tuesday, with around 15cm expected down over Tuesday evening and into Wednesday. Serious snowfall will then arrive on Thursday, with around 20cm expected down across the region; this will hit most slope elevations as the freezing line dips back below 1,500m. From Friday, things will slow down, albeit a further few flurries are expected on Saturday. Sunday will dawn cold, dry and bright, making for potentially excellent riding conditions with the new snow having had time to settle and the avalanche risk time to calm down.
More snow is then expected in the new week, potentially continuing the idiocy.
