2018 ski-hiking accident

Seven skiers in a party of 14 who made an unplanned overnight stay at 3,000 metres on the mountain in a snowstorm in April 2018, died of hypothermia or fall.[1][2]

Il Pigne d'Arolla (3.796 m s.l.m.) è una montagna delle Alpi Pennine (sottosezione Alpi del Grand Combin). Il nome è una deformazione nel patois locale (anche pigno) del termine francese peigne (pettine) e si deve all'aspetto della parete sommitale che, vista da Arolla, ricorda il pettine con cui le valligiane svizzere usano fissare i capelli nell'acconciatura tradizionale.
