Situated at the foot of Mont Collon, the small village of Arolla is a popular starting point for summer mountain hikes as well as a common stop on the Chamonix-Zermatt Haute Route expeditions. In the winter, it's a small ski resort with five lifts and guaranteed snow thanks to the elevation.
The largest tourist town in the Lake District feels like a resort. One of the sights is the Windermere Steamboat Museum, probably the finest steamboat collection in the world.
