Bella Tola, Alpine summit in Valais, Switzerland.
Bella Tola is an Alpine peak in Valais that rises to 3,025 meters and offers several hiking routes to its summit. The northern side features a glacier that shapes the landscape and views across the surrounding mountain ranges.
The peak became a destination for mountaineers in the 19th century as they explored the Alps and pushed further into remote regions. This period of exploration established the Valais area as a key location for Alpine climbing.
The mountain sits in a wine region where grape growing has shaped the landscape for generations. The stepped terraces on the hillsides show how local families have worked this land for centuries.
The climb is safest and usually snow-free between June and September. The tourism office in Saint-Luc provides maps and weather information to help plan your visit.
A large stone cross stands at the summit, visible from far across the landscape. This monument serves as a striking landmark and helps hikers orient themselves on the mountain.
