Details

The Hotel EUROPE "Swiss Comfort lodge" in Zinal with its French flair and excellent food is the ideal place to end a full day of skiing in the evening. Meeting point from 18:00 at the hotel bar the evening before.

Getting there: Journey to Zinal via Kandersteg / Goppenstein (railway loading) or through the Rhone Valley/Martigny to Sierre and further up into the Val d'Anniviers.

Day 1: Drive in at "Sorebois". Right at the beginning you will explore the first-class freeride area between Sorebois and Garda Bordon. In the evening you discuss the next skiing day with your guide.

2nd - 4th day: Freetouring and Freeride in the Val d' Anniviers. Depending on snow conditions, weather and motivation, we will adapt the tours and descents to your needs. We have known the area for years. We find the best runs right between the steep northern flanks of the Corne de Sorebois and the Pointe de Tsirouc, which lead up to 1300 meters of altitude and far down into the forest above Grimentz. Thanks to the new cable car of Grimentz we are quickly back in the skiing area of Zinal. Incredibly beautiful western slopes lead down to Lac de Moiry. So sporty round tours are possible at any time. The downhill runs on the Roc d'Orzival are also fantastic and allow for round tours all the way to the Vercorin area. With incomparable views of the Valaisan 4000m peaks, the epic tours and descents behind the Becs de Bosson and at the Diablon, which lead over the plateau of Lona and the steep slopes of the Mareinda into the Val de Moiry and back to Grimentz, are topped.

Some info...

The Val d'Anniviers wonderfully combines the two worlds of the glaciated summit regions and the Mediterranean Rhone valley - which are so close together. The modern lifts of the Grimentz, Zinal, Vercorin and Saint-Luc ski regions take you up into extensive, high alpine terrain and enable powder runs with a difference in altitude of over 1500 metres. The ideal altitude and the north-east orientation of the ski areas on the Corne de Sorebois, Bec-de-Bosson or Roc d'Orzival often guarantee the best quality snow. In combination with short ascents with the skins, many downhill altitude meters come together in one ski day. Freetouring expands the range of action enormously and you can expect a lot of still inexperienced slopes. A visit to the summit ridge of the "Becs de Bosson" and the hut of the same name should not be missed, of course. Downhill runs to the dam of the Lac de Moiry and views of the 4375 m high Dent Blanche, the Weisshorn or Zinalrothorn are as much a part of the day's programme as the descents through the challenging couloirs from the summit ridge of the Sorebois. Powder snow of the finest in the world of the 4000m peaks! In the evening you can let yourself be spoilt in Zinal in our nice and fine hotel EUROPE "Swiss Comfort Lodge". The Val d'Anniviers is also famous for its raclette specialities and fine wines.
