Ski vacations Val d'Anniviers – Alpine Valley with Mountain Lake Panorama!
The valley offers a wide range of leisure activities. Winter sports are particularly popular here, as the towns of Vercorin (1,330 m), Grimentz (1,553 m), Zinal (1,675 m), St-Luc (1,655 m) and Chandolin (1,936 m) have been combined to form a large winter sports region. At altitudes between 1,340 and 3,026 m, skiers and snowboarders will find around 200 diverse kilometres of pistes of varying degrees of difficulty as well as freeride opportunities and fun parks. There is also plenty of fun off-piste: snowtubing, ice skating, ice climbing, sledging, winter hiking and paragliding are just a few of the many leisure activities on offer. The Zinal swimming pool, with sauna and hot tub, also provides a change from the fun on the slopes. Alternatively, the whole family can try their hand at a tricky riddle in the Escape Room in Grimentz.
Don't miss out on the traditional Valais raclette and special "glacier wine": this oxidative white wine has a taste reminiscent of sherry and is matured on site at an altitude of over 1,200 m, pressed and aged for many years in larch barrels near the glacier.

At the foot of the Crêt du Midi (2,332 m) lies the village of Vercorin with its 600 inhabitants at 1,330 m altitude. Not far from the town of Sierre, you can enjoy an excellent view of the Rhone Valley from the Swiss village. In Vercorin, winter sports fans can directly enter the same-named ski area and enjoy pure skiing fun. Vercorin's location also invites you to go on enchanting hikes through snow-covered, untouched winter landscapes. The …resort details
Zinal
Surrounded by the imposing mountain landscape of the "Kaiserkrone", the holiday resort of Zinal lies at the end of the Val d'Anniviers in the French-speaking part of Valais. At first, the former "Maiensäss" - a special form of Alpine pasture with huts and stables - seems a little inconspicuous, but it exudes its very own charm. Holidaymakers here will not only find some well-preserved "old-fashioned" huts, but also cosy restaurants and bars …resort details
