Freeride val d'Hérens - Arolla Mont-Collon

Small resorts, big fun ! Free-riding in Switzerland’s Hérens Valley – Let the pros take you (way!) off the beaten track. Switzerland’s Hérens Valley is widely considered to be one of the most unspoiled valleys in Switzerland.

A picture-postcard of traditional villages and superb glacier-clad mountains like the Matterhorn and the Dent Blanche, the Val d’Hérens is worlds apart from the enormous ski-factory resorts that have squeezed nature out in other areas of the Alps. Here, nature is enormous, inviting, and largely untouched.
