Lower Arolla Glacier

Easily accessible on foot from the village of Arolla, the “Lower Arolla Glacier”, situated below the Mont Collon glacier, has a length of 1.5 km. Imagine that during the Little Ice Age it was going 2 km further down the valley and almost reached the village of Arolla. It was even possible to cross the Collon pass to go to Aoste! For simple hiking enthusiasts or geology passionates, the area around the Lower Arolla Glacier is a real paradise absolutely worth to discover!
