Zinal

Zinal is a village in Switzerland, located in the municipality of Anniviers in the canton of Valais. It lies at an elevation of 1675 m above sea level in the Swiss Alps in the Val de Zinal, a valley running from the Zinal Glacier, north of Dent Blanche to the village of Ayer, part of the Val d'Anniviers. With the Dent Blanche, four additional 4000 m peaks are located around the valley: Bishorn, Weisshorn, Zinalrothorn, and Ober Gabelhorn.

Tourism
The village is a typical Swiss ski resort with 120 km (linked with Grimentz since 2013 to form a greater skiing area) of ski slopes and 19.5 km of cross-country skiing. In summer the area has 300 km of marked trails and some mountain huts such as the Grand Mountet Hut in the middle of glaciers.
