A Few Summer Days In Arolla

Panoramic photo from the summit of the Pigne d'Arolla. Centre left is the Weisshorn, the Grand Cornier is the next closer peak to the right joined to the dominant Dent Blanche. The Zinalrothorn is the more distant peak between the two. To the right of the Dent Blanche and to the east of Zermatt are the flat topped Alphubel, Allalinhorn, Rimpfischorn and finally Strahlhorn.

In the last week of August I was part of a small group of friends visiting Arolla in the Valais region of Switzerland with the aim of exploring some of the hills above the village. Here are some of the photos from the trip including views of the Matterhorn, Dent d'Herens and Dent Blanche.
