For a family of five, this was exceptional value in such an expensive country. Finding connecting rooms for more than four people can be tough in places like Zermatt of Verbier unless you rent an entire chateaux. The furnishings felt nice and premium for ski lodging, though not luxury, and there are on-site ski lockers with dryers. The resort is relatively ski in ski out, depending on the building. A cat track, or mini ski slope, leads to the Zinal Sorebois gondola. The skiing in Zinal and Grimentz was first rate and mostly empty. We had a great stay at this hotel. A little French is useful in the area, since a few people may not know English, though most know basic English. Everyone we met at SwissPeaks spoke near flawless fluent English. The hotel recommended contacting Michel at Taxi Anniviers Sarl in Vissoie for transport to Zinal. His price for this route was competitive, and he understood enough English to coordinate. He was a safe, professional driver. We expected a nine seat van, but his taxi was a roomy minibus with 20+ seats, large windows, and a table area in the back. One useful arrival tip for SwissPeak staff to pass on: if you're staying in one of the lower buildings, ask the driver to drop you on the road behind the resort so you can take your luggage through the parking garage elevators to your room.
