Story:
Arolla is a village in the canton of Valais in Switzerland.
It is situated at the end of the Val d'Hérens south of Sion at 1998m altitude and is a popular start point for mountain expeditions.
In the winter, Arolla has its own small Alpine ski area which makes up for its lack of scale with reliable snow cover, spectacular scenery and quiet pistes.
Hotels in Arolla include the historic Hotel Mont Collon, located near the entrance to the village, and Hotel Kurhaus, situated at the top of the series of hair-pin bends that rise through the village.
The village is overlooked by Pigne d'Arolla, a 3796-metre mountain, which can be climbed from the Cabanes des Vignettes mountain hut above Arolla.
