Small, family resort with bags of Swiss Alpine charm. We usually visit at Easter when there are virtually no queues and loads of space on the poste. Plenty of off piste and “itemerie” routes when the snow is good. Lots of self catering options near the lifts. The black run from Zinal cable car to Grimentz is a fabulous challenge, starts scary then eases off. 2 good ski schools, and the beginners area is at the top if the gondola and has good snow. Recommended for families.

Varied on piste when linking Zinal to Grimentz. Access to StLuc/Chandolin by car/bus. Skiing in Zinal is raw and more back country orientated. Gets great snow cover as wedged between valleys . Majestic views, surrounded by 4000m Peaks. Very unspoilt, lots of locals not a party resort. Rugged and authentic

It’s a great family area. We went as a group of friends and the places to stop for lunch / apres are very limited. Good if you want a more laid back ski break,
