How high could you go, before you hit the deckchair in your ski resort...... :?:

There is an orange arrow on the map, showing the location, which is mid system really.

That is exactly what I was thinking then I figured there must be a reason.. let the mind wander.. two families have fallen out and they refuse to connect their ski hills?

Lots of plans and proposals for a cable car to cross from the bottom of the Grimentz gondola station, up to Sorebois in Zinal. Currently the lift company is looking for investors, if you have a few spare bob )

I feel certain it will get built, and our place is close to both the existing station and the proposed site for the new cable car :D

I think the fact its not super connected explains why its off the radar for a lot of people. It does get good write ups but WTSS suggests having your own transport to get about.

Zinal is already connected to Grimentz by piste in 1 direction. It's a black run mind you, through stunning scenery :D

I do agree about the advantages of having your own transport if you want to visit St Luc/Chandolin and Vercorin, and there is a good ski bus between Grimentz and Zinal.

People seem to want it on a plate these days, sometimes its worth the effort of travelling

To me it seems to be the effect of the French Mega resorts, with ski in-out accom and giant corporations running several resorts with the same blandness.
