Expert's Opinion
″I have been selling property in Grimentz for almost 20 years and it is one of my favourite resorts. This traditional, chocolate-box pretty village is part of the Val d’Anniviers ski area, which has some of the best powder in the Alps. If you are looking for somewhere charming and peaceful where the skiing is more important than the nightlife, then Grimentz is perfect. It's as lovely in summer as it is in winter too.″

Yes, Grimentz has some incredible skiing that’s directly linked with the village of Zinal as well as being part of the wider Val d’Anniviers region. This brings in the ski areas of St-Luc-Chandolin and Vercorin creating a total of 220km of varied pistes. New lifts, high slopes, great snow and often few crowds make this a great place to churn through the miles of piste on offer. There is plenty to occupy all types of skier, but experts in particular will appreciate the many challenging black runs as well as the un-rivalled off-pisting which can be enjoyed with a guide.
Grimentz is certainly worth visiting in the summer and can be just as popular as the ski season. Stunning red geraniums cover the chalets and there are a huge amount of activities on offer from hiking and biking to fishing and swimming. There are also a decent number of golf courses within easy reach including the European Masters course in Crans-Montana.
Grimentz has a good mix of traditional chalets and apartment developments spread across the resort. There are lots of large chalets located away from the centre and apartments near to the slopes. At the moment there are a number of new projects with full hotel-style facilities and management services available. These come with a flexible rental obligation and can earn you a decent annual income.
Grimentz is an excellent place to invest thanks to its huge popularity in both summer and winter attracting thousands of visitors every year. A large ski area linked to neighbouring villages, a charming, medieval centre and multiple bars and restaurants also keep people coming back season after season. This recent increase in tourism has led to a decent rise in property prices, which is likely to continue as more and more people discover the resort.
Grimentz is easily accessible to all visitors as it is just a two hour drive from Geneva airport. It is also possible via public transport as you can take the train from Geneva to Sierre and then a bus up to the centre.
Grimentz - Zinal Resort
Grimentz is a picture perfect Swiss village in the Val d’Anniviers that dates back to the 15th century. Set at 1600m at the end of a winding mountain road, the area has a great snow record with skiing up to 3000m and has some of the best off-piste skiing you will ever come across.
The centre of the old village is traffic free and full of old barns, dark wooden chalets and narrow lanes giving the village a unique atmosphere. Grimentz has a good choice of restaurants, serving traditional and rustic Swiss cuisine, as well as a couple of hotels and cosy bars.
St-Luc, only 20 minutes away by car, and Zinal, which is now linked by a new cable car, both share the same charm as Grimentz, retaining the character of the classic Swiss Alps. On the mountains there are several cosy restaurants serving Swiss dishes on terraces with panoramic views of the valley.
The Val d'Anniviers has a total of 200km of pistes spread across five main villages of Grimentz, Zinal, St Luc, Chandolin and Vercorin. A new cable car now links Grimentz and Zinal, while a free ski shuttle bus service links to the other villages.
Reaching an altitude of 3000m, there is good snow coverage while the slopes are very quiet with no crowds and no lift queues to worry about. Each area provides something different; St Luc-Chandolin is best for beginners and intermediates, while Zinal has a Freeride zone which is dedicated to extreme skiers and snowboarders. Open only when the avalanche risk is low, this 100 hectare area between 2400 and 3000m is a real delight for powder enthusiasts and aficionados of wide open virgin snow slopes.
Grimentz has a good variety of slopes for most skiers, however it is experts that will find the most enjoyment here. While there are some highly rated black runs, Grimentz has earned its reputation through the extensive off-piste on offer. Explore with a guide to discover some world class powder that keeps fans returning year after year.
The Val d’Anniviers is simply traditional Switzerland in summer. In each of the main villages the old chalets are adorned with red geraniums and quaint old Valais hay barns are everywhere. There are over 100km of hiking trails and over 350km of mountain biking trails winding between forests and lakes, all enjoying a spectacular Alpine backdrop.
Other activities in the area include rock climbing, paragliding, archery, fishing, swimming, football and tennis. There are also four golf courses within a 45 minute drive including the Championship Course at Crans sur Sierre. For the ultimate adrenalin rush head to Bungy Niouc, where you can zip-line or jump off Europe's highest bungee bridge if you dare.
