The Bendolla ski area above Grimentz, provides the perfect base for learning to ski as well as challenging runs for intermediate and advanced skiers both on and off piste.

A total of 11 ski lifts, including a 10 person gondola and 3 chair lifts, give access to over 50 km of pistes from 3,000 metres down to Grimentz at 1,600 metres and below to the village of St. Jean. The area is also served by 3 mountain restaurants and a snowboard park.

Grimentz is currently linked to the Zinal ski area by a free Navette bus service. Plans are in place to link the 2 resorts with a high speed gondola.

The Grimentz Ski pass costs less than £110 (160 Euros) for six days and also gives free access to the other resorts in the Val d´Anniviers: Zinal, Vercorin, Chandolin and St. Luc. Together, the 4 ski areas provide over 220 km of vastly different types of terrain and scenery to provide many days of enjoyment during your holiday. The other villages can be easily reached by car or by Post Bus and hundreds of snow cannons ensure that excellent snow conditions are available throughout the season.
