Zinal

The landscape around Zinal is a high Alpine valley enclosed by glaciers and four-thousand-metre peaks, which has shaped both the compact settlement and an economy rooted in mountain tourism and seasonal alpine farming. At the head of Val de Zinal in Val d’Anniviers, the village lies beneath the Pennine Alps, with the Weisshorn, Zinalrothorn and Dent Blanche among the prominent summits nearby. The Navisence follows the valley towards Vissoie and the Rhône basin. Hiking and mountaineering remain central to Zinal’s identity, while traditional timber chalets recall the building traditions of Valais mountain communities.
