A guidebook to 35 day walks and 2 multi-day hikes in Switzerland’s Arolla and Zinal. Exploring the beautiful scenery of Val d’Herens and Val d’Anniviers, west of Zermatt, the routes are generally long and high but on well-maintained paths, with some calling for a good head for heights.

Day walks range from 9 to 22km (6–14 miles) and can be enjoyed in 2–10 hours. The routes are graded allowing you to choose routes suitable for your ability. Two multi-day hikes are also outlined, combining the day walks described.
