Chalet Food

We believe the quality of cooking to be just as important as the skiing experience and so unlike many of our competitors our budget for food and wine for each guest is very generous. We ensure that you will receive fresh quality food of the highest standard.

Every day you will start with a hearty breakfast with a choice of hot croissants, cereal, fresh French bread, jams, porridge, fruit juices, and eggs cooked to your request together with plenty of fresh tea and coffee. Please note that on one day this will be self service due to the chalet hosts day off.

In the afternoon when you return from the slopes you will be greeted by freshly baked cakes and fresh tea, coffee and hot chocolate (one day self service on the chalet hosts day off). Dinner is a delicious 3 course meal with a choice of quality red and white bottled wines. The evening is finished off with coffee and chocolates.

Children’s Meals

As two of our directors have young children we understand that they won’t always want to wait until later for dinner with adults and indeed they won’t always want to eat the same type of food. Thus we offer a high tea for children, if required, at approximately 6pm and like all of our adult meals they will be freshly prepared, of excellent quality and served with juices and soft drinks.

Chalet Hosts Nights Off

One day a week the chalet hosts have a much deserved rest. Breakfast and afternoon tea is self-service. The evening is a chance to sample the local cuisine and our chalet hosts will be pleased to recommend and book a restaurant for you.

Ski Resort and Chalet Location

Ski Chalet Chalet Cole Ridge is in Grimentz, Switzerland

If you like ancient, quiet, totally unspoilt mountain villages together with a modern lift system then this is the place for you. In addition to the piste skiing the area is famous for its fabulous off piste skiing and its mountain touring. For magnificent views just off one the pistes in Grimentz there is a stunning 360 degree panoramic view of the Imperial Crown - five 4000m peaks - Weisshorn, Zinalrothorn, Obergabelhorn, Dent-Blanche and the Matterhorn. The village itself has tiny cobbled streets and in some places they are so narrow that the roofs of the chalets almost touch each other in the middle.

The skiing in Grimentz is mainly between 1340m to 3000m although the vast majority of the skiing is above 2100m thus the area is snow secure. The area has varied skiing from open pistes to forest runs and steep blacks to easy blues. There is a great snow park at 2500m in Grimentz and additionally one in Zinal. The lift system is modern with Gondolas, Cable cars, a funicular in St Luc and fast six man chairlifts.

To get to the other resorts in the area from Grimentz there are free buses - a regular bus goes from Grimentz to Zinal and a slightly more irregular service to the other resorts. If you are a competent skier there is a fantastic long black run from Zinal back to Grimentz which starts steep and then meanders through the forest until you pop out a short walk from the main gondola station in Grimentz. A new cable car link is planned to link Zinal and Grimentz for next season and in addition a thermal pool complex is due to open in 2010.

Grimentz has many accolades and has been described by Where to Ski and Snowboard 2008 as “Europe's best-kept secret” and an “undiscovered gem”. As Where to Ski and Snowboard 2008 says “get there fast before it has time to catch up with the 21st century! It has also recently been featured in the Ski and Board Magazine and many others.
