Simply the best extreme skiing in Europe. The heli-skiing and ski touring is amazing... and it's just you. Untracked powder lasts for days. Never had a queue, but the lifts are rubbish so trek up. Kurhaus hotel is a lovely olde worlde ski-in/out watering hole with awe inspiring views. Austere, extreme, unforgettable.

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:

We went to Arolla for 30 years. This year is the first time we will not go back. It is really getting old. Lifts don't work, they don't do any effort to fix it,...
Pity, beautiful area, but old. Quit expensive ski pass for what it is. Just three lifts and two or three ways down.
Bey bey Arolla. It was lovely to come, but it's time to go.

If you want to be high in the Alps, just between Chamonix, France and Zermatt, Switzerland, and also be off the huge ski stations like Verbier, it is the place; calm, not many visitors, great off-piste from the top of the single t-bar in town (in fact three but two coming up the glacier in the same direction, leading to the small mountain restaurant, just one on the slopes!; great heli-skiing also! Mind the mountain guides - not easy to find better.

I went to Arolla in Jan 03 and I had great skiing there. Nobody on the slopes, all to yourself. One day I skiied all the way down to Arolla then kept going along the road and almost skiied all the way to Evolene. It was getting dark and late but I managed to get a lift back up.
It's a great ski field and it's cheap and deserted!

Arolla - It's at the end of a long windy road, with right-angle turns, no crash-barriers and 200m drops, but it's worth the drive. 4 1/2 km of button lifts drag you up to 3000m and a fantastic view. The great thing is they drag hardly anyone else up! It is so uncrowded, with good pistes, though the best bit is that the locals don't seem to want to ride off-pistes. Fine by me!
[Editor - Thanks Alec! it is one of my favourite resorts in the Alps - January is always half-price for lifts and pension, and the off-piste runs from the top lift back to the valley are incredible. There is always more snow here than at Verbier too and it can stay untracked for a week. If you don't mind long drags and a few hikes, the rewards are huge]
