Ski Safari
One day, a new resort

Grimentz-Zinal is a wonderful home base, and the Valais is full of great ski resorts within easy reach. A Ski Safari takes you to one of them for the day, with an instructor who knows the area, plans the route and coaches you on the way.

You ski the best runs of the day, avoid the queues, stop at the right restaurant and never waste time looking at the piste map. Your instructor adapts the day to your level and goals, so it is part adventure and part lesson.

We recommend resorts close to the Val d’Anniviers, so you spend your day skiing, not in the car. For a day inside the valley, read about our ski safari in the Val d’Anniviers, linking Grimentz, Zinal, St-Luc, Chandolin and Vercorin.

How the day works

  1. Plan. We choose the resort together, based on snow, weather, your level and your wishes.
  2. Travel. We meet you in the morning, with private transport if you need it.
  3. Ski. A full day of guiding and coaching, with the best runs and a good lunch spot.
  4. Return. Back in Grimentz or Zinal in the late afternoon, with a new resort in your legs.

Who is it for
Skiers who want to explore

A Ski Safari is for confident skiers who can ski red runs comfortably and want to discover new terrain. It is ideal for guests staying a week or more in Grimentz-Zinal who want a change of scenery for a day.

It works for individuals, couples, families and small groups of friends with a similar level. We tailor the resort, the pace and the coaching to your group.

Where we can go
Resorts near the Val d’Anniviers

Every Safari is tailored to your group and the conditions of the day. These are some of our favourite destinations from Grimentz-Zinal.

  • Crans-Montana. Wide, sunny pistes above the Rhône valley, with views from Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn.
  • Leukerbad. Dramatic cliffs, quiet slopes and thermal baths to finish the day.
  • Lauchernalp. The hidden gem of the Lötschental, with long runs and very few crowds.
  • Magic Pass resorts. Many smaller resorts in the Valais are covered by the Magic Pass. Zermatt and Saas-Fee are also possible on request.

Very professional company. My wife and children had 4 three hours sessions with Anna who was very accommodating and patient, couldn't have asked for more. I had a single lesson with Paloma who gave me some excellent advice and corrected many faults with my skiing technique. I was able to build on this for the rest of the week. Based on our experience I would confidently recommend this company.

I booked a lesson here, and they called to let me know that all the beginner slopes were closed so it didn’t make sense for me to come, and gave me a refund. I really appreciate their honesty and look forward to coming back another time 😀

I have just had 3 wonderful morning lessons with Anna from Ski Zenit! Such a brilliant experience - Anna is so patient and helpful, flexible and kind! I couldn’t have asked for a better ski instructor and I really felt I improved a lot. Thank you Ski Zenit for being such a great team and to Anna for being such a great ski instructor! Till next year now!

The Ski Zenit team are fantastic! Stefano, Anna, Rich and the whole team are so warm, friendly, and patient, no matter what your level is (from experienced backcountry guiding to beginner lessons on piste). Cannot recommend them enough!

Originally booked two half day lessons with Rich, who was a brilliant instructor. I had never been skiing before but Rich took me through everything at my own pace and was flexible with the arrangements. Booked an additional half day which ended a great few days learning to ski. Would highly recommend!

The best ski school we’ve ever been to. Super fun lessons for the boys, who especially loved the moguls, off piste and jump park sessions. Separately Ski Zenit is the go to place for ski touring and free rides in Grimentz. Experienced guides will take you to amazing places in this wonderful valley. The guides know the terrain inside out and find powder where it is hiding (but always feeling safe with them). So many possibilities here if you know where to go.

Super cours d’Erwin (pour les deux enfants) Pas seulement sur la technique mais aussi sur le fait qu’il apprenne beaucoup sur la montagne, la géographie, etc… Excellent prof et très sympa en plus, ce qui ne gâche rien. Le plus: un contact WhatsApp la veille du premier cours et un échange constant et bienveillant lors de la semaine!

An unforgettable Skiing experience with Ski Zenit! I had the absolute pleasure of taking private lessons with Ski Zenit for two weeks, and I cannot recommend them enough !! From the very first session, I was blown away by the professionalism, passion, and dedication of the instructors. A huge thank you Xavi, Erwinio, and Richy Rich - these incredible coaches reignited my love for skiing. Their patience, clear explanations, and personalized approach made all the difference. Ski Zenit is truly Top-notch, and if you’re looking for an exceptional ski school with instructors who genuinely care about your progress, look no further. This experience has been beyond my expectations, and I’m already looking forward to coming back. ! Highly recommended 🎿❄️

We used Rich and his team at Ski Zenit to teach our young children how to ski during a family ski holiday to Grimentz. I cannot recommend them highly enough. All the instructors were exceptional with the children. Professional, courteous, polite, and FUN! We felt very comfortable leaving our children in the very capable hands of the Ski Zenit instructors. Rich went out of his way to accommodate our schedule and requirements which made our overall ski experience wonderful. At the end of the week, the instructors presented our kids with medals and a photo certificate to remember their first ski experience. A big "THANK YOU" to Rich, Anna, Renata, Serena and Juan - you were AWESOME!

Good to know
Ski Safari FAQ

What level do I need?

You should be comfortable skiing red runs in control. The pace and the route are adapted to your group, but a full day in a new resort needs a good base.

Are lift passes and transport included?

The price includes a full day of private guiding with instruction. Private transport is available as a supplement per group, and lift passes for guests and the instructor are needed unless the resort is covered by your Magic Pass.

How far are the resorts?

We recommend resorts close to the Val d’Anniviers, such as Crans-Montana, Leukerbad and Lauchernalp, so most of the day is spent skiing. Longer trips are possible on request.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Your instructor checks the forecast and the snow the day before and suggests the best resort. If the weather is poor everywhere, we will offer another day or a different plan.

Can children join?

Yes, if they ski confidently on red runs and are happy with a long day. Tell us the ages and levels when you book.

Private or small group?

Both. Book privately for the most feedback per run, or as a group of up to five people with a similar level. It is a great way for friends and families to try something new together.

What languages do you teach in?

Our instructors teach in English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch and more, subject to availability. Tell us your preferred language when you book.
