Zinal and Grimentz are two small hidden ski towns in the Val d'Anniviers. They belong to the canton of Valais in Switzerland. I invite you to join me on a 6-day backcountry snowboarding trip and discover the great possibilities they offer for a fantastic riding adventure.

The pure air of the Alps and pristine white peaks await you in these two beautiful off the radar villages, together with amazing slopes, blue sky and sunshine!

We will be able to access the great terrain in the area right from the lifts or after a short hike. I'm a passionate snowboarder, so I will choose the best spots and terrain for a great snowboarding experience. We will be one of the few groups to access the backcountry terrain, as this is how this place works!

Zinal and Grimentz are not crowded, as the slopes around Verbier, Zermatt and Chamonix. Therefore, we are able to enjoy great runs on untracked powder all day long.

During this trips we will stay in a hotel with its own micro brewerey, for the well deserved beer at the end of the day.

Interested in discovering the backcountry possibilities in Zinal and Grimentz? Send me a request and we will start planning your next snowboarding trip! I also offer a<a href="https://www.explore-share.com/trip/backcountry-splitboarding-in-chamonix/"> 6-day splitboarding trip in Chamonix</a>. Check it out!

Ski touring the Zinal Haute Route

Francis Kesley

<h6>If anyone asks me where would I go skiing in peace and quiet, I would say freeride ski in Zinal, always.</h6>
<div>One of Zinal's main advantages, besides being a great ski destination, is that it's off the radar. This means it is not crowded. You can ski as much as you want without worries about others being in your way. The little village of Zinal, in Switzerland, has a good lifts infrastructure, great amount of ski slopes and 19.5 km of cross-country skiing. It also has routes for all levels and abilities, day tours, designated freeride zones and all kinds of skiable summits.</div>
I think freeride skiing in Zinal is the hidden paradise of ski, come see it for yourself!

I will take care of the accommodation logistics. We will stay at the SkiZinal lodge, award winning for its food and hospitality.

All the participants must have an excellent base fitness and solid off-piste skiing level.

On the first day we have some safety training and check the equipment before starting. Then, each morning we discuss the perfect plan for the day. It is important to understand that we have to adjust our itineraries depending on the weather and the terrain conditions. Destination and timing are the most important decisions to be made when skiing off-piste. They can mean the difference between a good day and a fantastic one and are certainly crucial in having a safe day out.

Did you find this trip interesting? Then please contact me for more information! I would love guiding you on these fantastic slopes. 

Please note that this is a private program. Unfortunately, for the time being, I don't have any group departures planned.

Far away from the crowds and amid the most perfect stillness, Saint Luc is great for those looking to spend some quiet time in contact with nature.

That is why I would like to invite you to this 5-day ski tour, leaving from the Saint Luc ski resort and reaching Zermatt, in the Matter Valley.

With generous hours of sunshine, Saint Luc offers a panoramic view over the Anniviers Valley and its 4000-meter peaks (the Matterhorn included). Saint Luc is also known as the "star resort" since it is home of the François-Xavier Bagnoud Observatory.
