A picturesque classic Alpine village in the heart of Val d'Anniviers, Grimentz is the perfect place to get away from it all and return to the simple things. Small when compared to some of the mega-resorts in the region, it still manages to retain its authentic charm and traditional way-of-life and due to this many of the best places to stay in Grimentz are charmingly rustic.
Grimentz is a village made up of narrow pedestrianised lanes lined with quaint wooden grain stores, barns and houses decked with blood-red geraniums. Some of the houses, like the Burgher House, date back to the 16th century: it is there that you can sample the infamous white glacier wine - a mainstay of nomadic farmers in days gone by - aged in large Larchwood barrels. There is also an old village bakery, where you can buy locally-made rye bread, and in the local bars, there is enough Edelweiss Schnaps to drown the region.
As for things-to-do, you are spoilt for choice. During the wintertime, skiing is popular here, particularly cross-country skiing, so the more experienced will be thrilled by the off-piste scene in the area. The glacier forefield of Moiry-glacier bares many geomorphological forms, and the Moiry glacier itself being the finest of its kind in the Alps. During the summer, there is a lot of hiking trails to choose from: the winding paved mountain road that runs around the gorge is a sight to see in itself, and there are over 100km of hiking and biking trails nearby.
This is a charming spot and, unsurprisingly, can get quite busy, so to ensure a room at one of the best places to stay in Grimentz we recommend booking well in advance.
