With a reputation for being authentic and unspoiled, high-altitude Grimentz is a snow-sure resort in the Swiss Alps that’s popular all year round. Hameau des Bains is under development there, a residential project comprising several sub-projects, including La Couronne Residence, La Cordée, and L’Impériale.
La Couronne is the first phase, offering a range of luxurious apartments that owners can use at their discretion, provided they rent the property for just six weeks per year (or more, if they prefer), which means attractive potential rental income. For example, this two-bedroom and bathroom unit spans 85 square meters and boasts outstanding Weisshorn peak panoramas.
Residents can enjoy hotel-standard services, including a concierge, ski room and spa, restaurants, spring-water swimming pools, and more. Alpine Resorts (Groupe ALPINE Collection) will manage the rental of these properties, ensuring that homeowners benefit from top-tier services and strong rental demand in both summer and winter seasons.
FGP Swiss & Alps, a subsidiary of Comptoir Immobilier Family Group, is handling the portfolio, bringing over 30 years of expertise to the table. Driven by four core values – service, ethics, performance, and sustainable development – the team expertly guides clients through high-end property investments across Switzerland and the French Alps.
Hameau des Bains: Elevating the Standard of Alpine Living
Located just a two-minute walk from the center of Grimentz, Hameau des Bains offers a unique opportunity for a second home in Switzerland. This project features a mix of hotels and chalet-style buildings, including the recently launched La Couronne Residence, which is already gaining popularity.
An Opportunity for Investment and Enjoyment
Hameau des Bains provides a blend of living spaces and services for a unique experience. Hôtel des Bains will feature 25-30 deluxe bedrooms and a spa upon restoration completion. L’Impériale will include six chalet-style buildings with 34 apartments.
Already launched, La Cordée (formerly a small hotel) has four top tier flats – one spanning the entire ground floor, another on the first story, and two penthouse duplexes, with prices including plush interiors and furnishings.
The newly marketed La Couronne, named after the “Imperial Crown” of the five 4,000-meter peaks surrounding Val d’Anniviers, features six chalet-style buildings with 57 turnkey apartments, ranging from one to five bedrooms to a penthouse triplex, all offering Weisshorn views.

Grimentz: Enchanting Resort Destination
The picturesque alpine village is known for its glorious scenery and traditional architecture, and in recent years, has experienced a rise in property values.
Grimentz, Switzerland
Vibrant Lifestyle and Charming Location
Grimentz is a beautifully preserved 15th-century village nestled in the Val d’Anniviers region of the Swiss Alps, between Verbier and Zermatt. Just a two-hour drive from Geneva Airport and three from Zurich, it even has a heliport, for those wanting quicker transfers.
The center lies at 1,564 meters, with all pistes over 2,000 meters, meaning snow is virtually guaranteed. What’s more, the area is part of the “Magic Pass” initiative – the Grimentz-Zinal section spans 115 kilometers of slopes. As part of that, there’s been significant investment in the lift system.
Ski Resort Grimentz-Zinal, Switzerland
The resort is popular year-round. In fact, the lifts are open for 10 months a year, with people exploring 100 kilometers of hiking and biking trails in the warmer months, while soaking up the spectacular Imperial Crown vistas. And with the arrival of L’Espace Weisshorn, a 180-seat restaurant, snack bar, and panoramic terrace, there’s another reason to visit. Perched above the village at the top of the cable car, a Michelin-star chef is at the helm serving seasonal plates.
In short, Grimentz and the surroundings are ideal for winter sports enthusiasts and summer adventurers.
Market Trends
Since 2012, restrictions have been in place on second homes in Swiss ski resorts, per the Lex Weber law. With that in mind, buyers face a challenging task: Demand has steadily increased and supply is dwindling, pushing prices up by an estimated 16% in the last three years for new-build properties.
Grimentz, Switzerland
When it comes to Grimentz, the village was listed in the Financial Times as one of the top resorts in the world for snow reliability, a major factor when choosing a ski resort property. Moreover, it’s lesser known than other big-name destinations.
That being said, “Over the past three years, Grimentz has risen among the top 20 ski resorts for investors. With an estimated 10% increase in values over the last 24 months, this trend is expected to strengthen, notably due to the decreasing supply of secondary residences in Switzerland.”
As one of the last holiday home possibilities in Grimentz, Hameau des Bains and the recently launched La Couronne Residence are well-positioned to benefit.
Meaningful Investment Opportunity
With a range of properties to suit different size and budget requirements, now’s the time to invest in the pretty village of Grimentz. Hameau des Bains boasts a handful of options – in particular, the newly marketed La Couronne Residence with its 57 upmarket apartments, from one-bedroom units to penthouses. The innovative concept offers hotel-style services alongside rental income potential through the Alpine Resorts brand (Groupe Alpine Collection). For more information, contact FGP Swiss & Alps.
