In winter, take advantage of the many sporting and non-sporting activities on offer in the dynamic resort of Zinal-Grimentz:
- Downhill skiing or snowboarding:
- Chronorace: Like the professionals, test your skills on the timed slalom. Starting gate, time displayed at the finish, everything is set up so that you can take the place of the greatest athletes for the duration of a run.
- Freeride : The Freeride area of the “Garde de Bordon” has no less than 100 hectares of unmarked runs. Made up of steep slopes and vertiginous walls, it is entirely dedicated to extreme skiers and snowboarders. Located between 2400 and 3000m of altitude, it seduces the fans of powder and great virgin spaces. However, this Freeride area is not safe: it is only open when the avalanche danger is lower than “3”.
- Speed check: Test your limits and experience an adrenaline rush at 40, 50, 60 km/h or more on a safe slope in the Bendolla sector.
On this track, young and old alike can measure their downhill performance with the speed sensor. The perfect competition for families! - Skicross
