 Poster: A snowHead
|
EDITED POST PER COMMENTS RECEIVED ON THE ORIGINAL
The Grimentz/Zinal telecabine link is under construction (after many years delay) and this is the last season to ski the 2 resorts without the additional people who we think will be attracted to it next season and may well make areas like Chamois busier (because of the ease of access). I think it is a good time to visit for those who have not skied the Val d'Anniviers area.
A recent link to an article from Eric (at skizinal.com) writing in Fallline is: http://www.fall-line.co.uk/backcountry/val-danniviers-big-backcountry-descents
Question: I have a place with some space in March. I also have access to guides, equipment, catering if needed etc. Any views on the best way to promote this type of (not a packaged offpiste holiday but trying to make it easier for people wanting to access off piste in a resort they may not know and which is not really covered by the mainstream operators who arrange offpiste trips)?
Cheers
Chris

Quite a nice area (for those who don't know it) - not far from Verbier. I seem to remember there is a bus to Zinal but you can ski back off-Piste.

thanks snowball and yes the bus to Zinal and then return via the Chamois itenrary route is one of the options there which are well worth doing. theother main ones are highlighted in the Fall lline article

chrisJersey, I passed my IML in Zinal (well St Luc and all over the valley). Cool place.
If you want to advertise though I would reccomend contacting admin and he can set you up with something. Its ok to have a link in your tag but you will get asked not to overtly advertise in any of the forum.

chrisJersey, what in garbure we trust says. I think this post is a tad on the edge of what snowheads allows, but hey, you've asked nicely, so run it by admin and see what he says.

fair enough comments above so i have edited the original post. i am still intereseted in how people arrange their offpiste/touring holidays if they dont want to use (pay) a mainstream operator and are trying somewhere new. for me this has historically meant a lot of legwork trying to find what is available in resort. is there a database per resort which lists resources for those interested in offpiste and if not would there be any interest in one? i am sure someone here can point me in the right direction
