Arolla is a village in the municipality of Evolène in the canton of Valais in Switzerland.
It is situated at the end of the Val d'Hérens south of Sion at 1998m altitude in the Pennine Alps. It is situated at the foot of Mont Collon and is a popular start point for mountain expeditions.
The village is a popular stop-off point on the Haute Route, a classic high-altitude mountain trek between Chamonix and Zermatt. The expedition can be tackled either by foot in the summer or by skis in the winter and spring. It is also on the itinerary of the Patrouille des Glaciers.
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. There is a post office, mountain sports shop, hotel Du Pigne and bus stop in the small village centre.

Arolla research trip
After completing the second half of the haute route starting midway from Arolla to Zermatt, we were faced with an expensive cab ride back to Arolla, or a very expensive Air Zurich ride to the top of Pigne d'Arolla. We chose the latter and the 1800m vertical descent to Arolla in perfect conditions was totally worth it. Thanks to our awesome guide Mark Seaton ! The first half of our haute route trip was sabotaged by heavy snowfalls, but at least we reaped the benefits of that snow on that descent, April 3rd 2013 Music by Royksopp - Milk keyboard
*Contains some strong language* In August 2012, I went on a geography field trip to Arolla, Switzerland. Safe to say, it was amazing. Here's just some of the stuff we got up to and some of the banter that ensued. And yeah, you probably won't get half of this if you didn't go on the trip! Just admire the scenery if not...

AR Drone 2.0 flight on Glacier de Piece in Arolla Switzerland in july 2012. We hiked up to the glacier de Piece in Arolla Switzerland and let the drone fly. There was little wind but the air is thin (2700 m) so the drone struggled to gain height. On a second attempt it died on me and just fell out of the sky, breaking a gear on a propellor. :-(((((((no video of that unfortunately.

Descending the Haut Glacier d'Arolla on the 6th day of our Haute Route Tour. Perfect snow, effortless turns, gorgeous scenery, and good friends.
There was one last topics that I had to discuss briefly. That is how to travel by car or any vehicle that goes on the highway. Simply buy a cat carrier. Ferrets are actually very easy animals to take care of on the road. Since owning this business and multiple trips from Halifax back home to visit my family, which is roughly a three and a half hour drive, they have only had a few accidents. By accidents I mean pooping and peeing in the carrier. They may claw and bite the front door of the cat carrier for 5 to ten minutes tops but once you get out on the open highway they will settle down and fall asleep. Usually too if it is a straight drive back home to my family they will remains asleep the whole drive. But with that said there is one suggestion I would make before you leave with your fe...

[Dialogue from Daria Morgendorffer on MTV's "Daria":]
My advice is, stand firm for what you believe in
Until, and unless, logic and experience prove you wrong
Remember
[Ja Rule:]
Yeah, shhh
It was supposed to be you and I and the curtains closed
But somewhere along the lines we switched episodes
It's kinda like when Gina left Martin for New York
Speaking of New York, the city is so lost
Even with the Knicks lookin to make the playoffs
Spike is back on the court, and Jeter's still in the Bronx
Bloomberg got the city ready for seance
Go get your ouija boards out niggaz and pray on
You want "Drama"? Get your fuckin "Kay Slay" on
Still got the world on my shoulders, a nigga headstrong
About to go in; you can lock my body
Contract my mind, my thoughts keep escapin
Power of the pen it work provoc' like Basquiat
They fancy, 'cept I paint my pictures lyrically
But fancy enough, bitch foamin like a Swiss B
And we ain't talkin hoes, we talkin Euros and raw weed
[Chorus:]
Who do you believe in?
Is it money or the man upstairs? Is it power or prayer?
God bless the dead and fuck the world fast
What's progression if you never been through backlash
Nigga what do you believe in?
Cause my money's on me, myself and I, my team and this music
Y'all ain't gon' believe this
Maybe it's my fault, or maybe y'all just makin excuses
[Ja Rule:]
Who do you believe in?
Motherfucker the money is talkin to me and tellin me that it's lonely
In need of new friends, preferably Grants and Franklins
And the singles and the fives went to the bitches
Dubs is for wifin in the club, no mention
But you know who you are, nigga stop flinchin
Stop cuffin; you may not think that it's a bitch
But life's a hoe and everybody's been fuckin~!
See that's what I believe in
With n o logic, no need for experience
To fuck the world would be a lifetime achievement
You make it cum then e'rybody jump on the dick
Y'all niggaz full of shit, that's why you fuckin assholes
And never smell the shit stinkin 'til you get shitted on
Fuck 'em all, not for nothin
I ain't "Always On Time", too much ice in the vodka muh'fucker
