Grimentz, 30 January 2005
30th January 2005
Grimentz is another station in the Val D’Aniviers close to Zinal. The village is at 1600m and the skiing takes you up to 2853m on the Roc d’Orzival (above photo). Like Zinal this place is pretty small and the ski are is not huge.
Like Zinal though the skiing is incredible, the runs are steep and mostly black or red with great variations in pitch and terrain and the off-piste is endless. It was slighty busier than Zinal as it was Sunday but it was still possible to park in the tiny lift car park at 9:30 without any problem.
The snow’s just incredible at the moment, the low temperatures have kept it in excellent condition. On the downside it’s very, very cold around -13′c air temperature.
There’s a great red/black down the FIS course back into town which is a fantastic return and gives some great views over the valley.
