Pigne d'Arolla (3,787 m) is a mountain in the Pennine Alps in Switzerland. The first ascent was made by A. W. Moore and Horace Walker with the guide Jakob Anderegg on 9 July 1865. It is commonly climbed as part of the Haute Route.
The standard route starts from the Cabane des Vignettes at 3158m (10,361feet) and contains some scrambling and snow travel. It is considered non-technical and easy for fit and experienced trekkers with snow skills.
Seven skiers in a party of 14 who made an unplanned overnight stay at 3,000 metres on the mountain in a snowstorm in April 2018, died of hypothermia or fall.[2] [3]
