La Serpentine

La Serpentine reaches an elevation of 3,789 meters with steep slopes rising between the valleys of Bagnes and Arolla in the Pennine Alps.

The mountain has been a reference point for local shepherds and mountaineers since the early days of Alpine exploration in the Swiss territory.

The mountain forms part of the traditional pastoral landscape where Swiss farmers maintain centuries-old practices of seasonal grazing at different altitudes.

Climbers can reach the summit through established routes starting from Arolla, with summer months offering the most favorable climbing conditions.

The mountain features a prominent col at 3,542 meters, creating a natural passage between two major valleys in the Swiss canton of Valais.
