Local reports describe observed conditions. The weather forecast is shown separately; it does not establish piste quality or snow cover.

The illustration connects the three views. It is a schematic, not a route map or a picture of current snow cover.

For Grimentz-Zinal, the 1,600, 2,300 and 2,900 m values are elevation-adjusted model forecasts at the forecast point Grimentz valley station, not observations or separate weather stations.

How we calculate this

Wet-bulb: Stull (2011), a near sea-level approximation. Alpine pressure effects and very cold, dry conditions limit accuracy. Potential hours use a −2°C threshold; equipment, water and operating decisions remain unknown. Snow balance uses wet-bulb precipitation partition and a configurable degree-day melt factor. Uncalibrated research model.

How this comparison works+

Daily comparison selects the nearest stored issue to 24 hours earlier (within 6 hours); weekly uses 7 days (within 12 hours). At least six consecutive future hours must match. Source and model version must agree. The comparison describes changes in that forecast period.

This view uses a single forecast. Probabilities and historical accuracy scores are not available.

Snow and lift questions

How much snow is forecast for Grimentz-Zinal ?

For Grimentz-Zinal, the Open-Meteo · MeteoSwiss ICON-CH1/CH2 forecast issued 10 Nov, 07:00 shows modelled snowfall of 0 mm at 1,600 m, 0 mm at 2,300 m and 0 mm at 2,900 m in the 24 hours from 10 Nov, 13:00. Amounts are millimetres of water in the snow, not snow depth. Times are local (Europe/Zurich). Forecast source ↗

How deep is the snow in Grimentz-Zinal ?

PisteWindow has no current snow-depth report for Grimentz-Zinal. Forecast figures are modelled snowfall, not snow depth. Official resort information ↗

Which lifts are open in Grimentz-Zinal ?

PisteWindow has no current lift or piste report for Grimentz-Zinal. Open lifts and pistes are not inferred from the forecast. Official resort information ↗

How does snowfall differ from snow depth?

Snowfall is the new snow that falls in a period. Snow depth is the total on the ground and also reflects earlier snow, melt and settling. PisteWindow’s forecast shows modelled snowfall as water in millimetres, not depth.

Before your ski day

When can you ski in Grimentz-Zinal?

The operator’s lift list, checked on 8 November 2026, showed all its ski lifts as closed or out of service. The official live information shows what is open on a given day.[4]

Does this page cover St-Luc/Chandolin?

No. The Val d’Anniviers tourist office lists St-Luc/Chandolin and Vercorin as separate ski lift areas with their own pages. This page covers Grimentz-Zinal only.[6]

Where do the lift status and snow depth on this page come from?

Lift and piste status comes from the Infosnow list that the Val d’Anniviers tourist office publishes for Grimentz-Zinal. Snow depth comes from two SLF stations: Orzival at 2,640 m inside the ski area and the Grimentz study plot at 1,560 m. The operator’s own snow report is not used because it gives no elevations.[4][5]

Are the 1,600, 2,300 and 2,900 m forecasts for Grimentz-Zinal observations?

No. They are model values adjusted to 1,600, 2,300 and 2,900 m, calculated at one representative point (Grimentz valley station).[2]
