Grimentz, a picturesque village in Valais, was recently ranked by Forbes among the seven most preserved and paradisiacal resorts. Though recognized by outlets like CNN and National Geographic for its enchanting charm, Grimentz remains somewhat overshadowed by more famous mountain destinations. Perhaps that’s precisely the allure.
This authentic village offers an unspoiled glimpse into Alpine tradition, with a gentle authenticity seldom found in busier resorts. Cobblestone lanes curve among centuries-old chalets, their darkened timbers memorializing long, snowy winters. Family-run lodges provide traditional après-ski feasts of raclette and velvety hot chocolate.
However, Grimentz is not stuck in time. New constructions reveal its evolution, where architecturally sleek residences harmoniously meet tradition.
