Chalet Coquelicot, Zinal, 3961, Valais, Switzerland
Quick Info Read moreWho does not know the mountains of Valais with their numerous peaks over 4000 meters? But you cannot ignore Zinal, lying nestled at an altitude of 1700 m at the foot of these 4000 m giants, in the wild and romantic Val d'Anniviers. Zinal is the starting point for a variety of walks, tours, and high mountain climbs, as well as for visits to the cabins of Tracuit (Bishorn), Grand Mountet (Zinalrothorn and Obergabelhorn), Arpitettaz, and Moiry. Do you know that the direct distance between Zinal and Zermatt is 5 km, but one will need a great effort to cover it? This is a 2-3 day walk, with at least one overnight stop at the Cabin of Grand Mountet. Those who do not feel like walking so long, can take a cable car from Zinal up to 2400 meters near the Sorebois restaurant, and then walk to Grimentz, or to the cabin of Moiry, or to the cabin of the Petit Mountet. At the end of most hikes, there is a possibility to return to Zinal by the PostBus.
