ST-LUC

Perched on a sun-drenched mountain side, St-Luc village provides a breathtaking view of the 4000 m peaks towering above the Annivi- ers Valley, including the famous Matterhorn. As the home of the François-Xavier Bagnoud Observatory, the Planetarium and the Planet Trail, it is aptly named “the star resort”.

Those who enjoy wildlife and outdoor activities will find plenty to do as St-Luc has a variety of hiking trails that reach altitudes of more than 3000 m above sea level, as well as several moun- tain bike trails and downhill routes.

CHaNDOLIN

As one of Europe’s highest villages occupied year-round, Chandolin is the ideal destination for those seeking peace and well-being both for body and soul. Located 2000 m above sea level it gets plenty of sunshine and catches the last sun rays before the sun sets. Long the favourite destination of some illustrious visitors, and an inspiration to poets, the village retains the charm and authenticity of a genuine Annniviers village with its irregular huddle of houses built in the ancient peasant tradition.

GRIMeNTZ / ST-JeAN

With its traditional wooden houses decked with red geraniums, its pebbled streets and crooked alleyways, Grimentz is an architec- tural gem from Annivier’s past. This unspoilt village has a wealth of cultural resources to be discovered through tours, discussions, even chance meetings. Sport enthusiasts will have a range of varied activities to choose from: hik- ing or biking in the mountain over 100km of trails, sports events, via ferrata, a visit to the Moiry dam, and more.

ZINaL / aYER

A haven of peace and serenity, nestled at the end of the Val d’Anniviers, Zinal is one of those magical and otherworldly destinations for those who love the true beauty of pristine nature. Sur- rounded by the highest mountains in the Alps and boasting five high mountain huts, Zinal has plenty to offer to families as well as adrenaline junkies looking for challenging hiking and bik- ing trails, climbing routes or spectacular para- gliding sites.

VISSOIe AND VILLAGeS

Niouc, les Pontis, Soussillon the Barmes, Fang ... strange names that titillate the curiosity and stand witness to a past full of history, a picturesque background that leaves no one indifferent. But the winter for the people who live here represents a time of rest: not a shadow of a skier, not a single lift pylon and no sports frenzy either. Just the silence of nature, which is also on its annual break. A welcome rest before the return of spring, and before the ruins, chapels, caves, and mills begin to reveal their charms to greet the lucky ones who know how to find authenticity where it is.

Vissoie … To those who believe that Vissoie is a place of passage, a simple step that can reach the Anniviers ski resorts, we propose to come and make a stop ... Located in the centre of the Val d’Anniviers, a strategic crossroads where lords made their home beginning in the 13th century, Vissoie is the medieval village of the valley. Take some time and make a stop there, go take a look at the medieval tower that reflects the ancient supremacy of the village, order a coffee on a sunny terrace and let yourself soak in the atmosphere of the place. You will soon realize that Vissoie, tucked away from the bustle of the resorts in the valley, has kept the charm of a place that must be seen.
