I have always ski-ied,climbed and hiked in Switzerland and admired its political system. I have passed on my love of Switzerland to my wife and family, so we were delighted to be have the opportunity to buy an apartment in Grimentz 4 years ago. We have been fortunate in our choice; Grimentz is an unspoilt village high (1560m) up in the Val d'Anniviers, at the end of the mountain road from Sierre in the Rhone Valley. It Is a delight; terrific ski-ing for all standards, unmatched summer hikes, all with the stunning backdrop of the Swiss Alps' most majestic peaks. Grimentz has good shops, restaurants and bars but limited night-life.
The beautiful old village centre is pedestrianized, so a delight to stroll through, winter or summer.
