•Beautiful old village •Val d’Anniviers ski pass •Heliski from resort
With chocolate-box chalets dating back to the 1300's and mammoth mountains overhead, one thing we love about Grimentz is the scenery. Another's the skiing, with over 100km of pistes and oodles of powder terrain throughout Val d’Anniviers. Not forgetting the food and wine, which alone is enough to keep us returning year after year...
