The skiing in the valley is perhaps somewhat overshadowed by the nearby and more accessible Quattre Vall\u00e9es resorts, but these slopes are quiet even at weekends, the snow record is very good, the resorts are relatively inexpensive and, as a consequence, the valley has a loyal following of repeat visitors.<\/p>\n<table>\n<col width=\"119\"><\/col>\n<col width=\"205\"><\/col>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td width=\"119\" height=\"20\">Ski Area<\/td>\n<td width=\"205\">Val D&#8217;H\u00e9rens<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"41\">\n<td width=\"119\" height=\"41\">Resorts<\/td>\n<td width=\"205\">Arolla, Evol\u00e8ne, Nax,   Mont-Noble<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Ski Region<\/td>\n<td>Valais<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Piste (km)<\/td>\n<td>47<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Top run (m)<\/td>\n<td>3000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Bottom (m)<\/td>\n<td>1700<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Max Drop<\/td>\n<td>1300<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Snow&#8217;n&#8217;Rail<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Black (km)<\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Red (km)<\/td>\n<td>22<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Blue (km)<\/td>\n<td>24<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Lifts (#\/hr)<\/td>\n<td>6000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">My Rating<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Alpine<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">SnowPark<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Nordic<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Hiking<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Family<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Apres Ski<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Free Ride<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Snow making<\/td>\n<td>Y<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Fun park<\/td>\n<td>Y<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Snow park<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Half pipes<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr height=\"20\">\n<td height=\"20\">Spa<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h2>In Brief<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this picturesque valley the two villages of Evol\u00e8ne and Arolla have broadly similar lengths and style of piste, and rather antiquated lifts.
