I've been in Arolla 3 times. For me it is a free-riding paradise that remains uncrowded, the off-piste is incredible and the views and quality of the snow, outstanding. Yes, prices are high, lifts old, no chairs, not too many slopes. Arolla should be known for its off-piste down the road to évoléne (another skiing pearl) and there are many possibilities for free-riders. The Kurhaus hotel offers good food and lodging for reasonable prices at Swiss standards and also provides transport back to the resort once you have reached the road. If you are the kind of guy that rates ski resorts for the amount of slopes they have, their aprês-ski or like places like Val d'Isere, this resort is not for you. Get a guide and enjoy!!. I submit the links to the hotel and a guide I know: hotel-kurhaus.arolla.com/ freeridexperience.ch/
