    Fantastic lake, though swimming should be “avoided” - is not forbidden per se.

    Toll gelegene Hütte, sehr imposant. Sehr professioneller (Groß-) Betrieb, dadurch leider recht unpersönlich.

    Definitiv zu empfehlen! Die Anfahrt nach Arolla dauert lange, aber lohnt sich. Von der Bushaltestelle aus links gehen, nicht rechts. Es geht über Wiesen im Zickzack ziemlich zügig den Berg hoch. "Oben" angekommen könnte man noch einen ca. 30min Abstecher zur "Nase" machen (evtl. Sicht auf den Lac Bleu?). Ab hier gelangt man auf einer Ebene zu einem Geröllfeld und bewegt sich dann am Hang entlang weiter nach oben, bis man schliesslich bei der Hütte ankommt. Diese ist sehr alt und innen sehr dunkel, draussen hat es keine Tische. Verweilen macht also nicht so Spass, aber die Aussicht auf die umliegenden Berge und den Gletscher ist toll. Von hier aus folgt der (endlose) Abstieg, meist im Zickzack. Der Lac Bleu wäre hübsch, aber viel zu viele Besucher. Von hier aus ist angedacht, dass man zurück nach Arolla läuft. Wir würden aber empfehlen, vom Lac Bleu aus abzusteigen, um Zeit zu sparen, denn dort hat es auch eine Bushaltestelle. Denn: Der Weg zurück nach Arolla ist ein einziges Auf und Ab durch den Wald, je nach Wetter etwas rutschig. Es kostet Zeit und die Busse fahren nicht oft.

    Kurzer und knackiger Klettersteig mit einigen Überhängen, einer Leiter und einem Drahtseilnetz am Ende. Bleibt morgens ziemlich lange von direkter Sonneneinstrahlung bewahrt - an warmen Tagen ist die Begehung vor Mittag erfrischend.
