From the crest of the Grande Dixence — the world's highest gravity dam — the route traces the western shore of Switzerland's longest reservoir, where snow-covered peaks and glaciers crowd the skyline. A steep climb then delivers you to the Col de Riedmatten, the legendary pass of the Patrouille des Glaciers ski mountaineering race, before a long descent into Arolla.
