Grimentz stands above the Navisence River in Valais, and its high valley-side position has long tied the settlement to alpine pastureland and routes into the Pennine Alps. The old centre is distinguished by darkened larch houses and timber granaries, preserving the material character of a traditional Anniviers community. Up-valley, the Lac de Moiry reservoir sits beneath the Moiry Glacier, adding a more dramatic high-alpine dimension to outings from the village. In winter, Grimentz forms part of the Zinal–Grimentz ski area, while summer brings walkers into the surrounding valley.
