Grimentz, Switzerland
The skiing in Grimentz is
mainly between 1340m to 3000m although the vast majority of the
skiing is above 2100m thus the area is snow secure. The area has
varied skiing from open pistes to forest runs and steep blacks to
easy blues. There is a great snow park at 2500m in Grimentz and
additionally one in Zinal. The lift system is modern with
Gondolas, Cable cars, a funicular in St Luc and fast six man
chairlifts. To see what the snow conditions are like today in

To get to the other resorts in
the area from Grimentz there are free buses - a regular bus goes
from Grimentz to Zinal and a slightly more irregular service to the
other resorts. If you are a competent skier there is a fantastic
long black run from Zinal back to Grimentz which starts steep and
then meanders through the forest until you pop out a short walk
from the main gondola station in Grimentz. A new cable car link is
planned to link Zinal and Grimentz.
New for 2010/11 ski

Vericorin. In addition your lift pass allows one days skiing in
Crans Montana and also in Leukerbad that are about one hour
