We start from the central square in Arolla around 9am following the well signposted path to the Hotel Kurhaus which is situated above the rest of the village. Alas our trip falls too early in the season for this hotel, with its impressive views, to be open.
The imposing north face of Mont Collon (3,637m) dominates the head of the Arolla valley
From the Kurhaus, the path continues upwards with woodland giving way to steep grassy slopes to some ruined chalets at 2,330m.
Pigne d’Arolla (3,796m)
From here we head west up the valley, past the ski tows, to be greeted by fantastic views across the Cheilon glacier to the Dix hut from the Pas de Chèvres.
