  • Peaceful and pretty site in the Swiss Alps, close to riverside trails
  • Within half an hour's drive of several thermal baths/spas
  • Restaurant with a terrace, play area and a pétanque court on site
Just simply spectacular... As you may have figured out from the pictures, Camping Simplonblick is a scenic and spacious place, made up of green grounds, colourful flowers and facilities that will keep you occupied from morning to night. Set just off the main road in Raron in Upper Valais, it's easily accessible by car, motorcycle or public transport and a central base for making day trips to popular Valais attractions. This is a self-check-in site with no staffed reception, so upon your arrival, you get to pick your own pitch. You may fancy cooling off in the pool (open during high season only) or heading over to the table tennis tables, pétanque court, play area or trampoline. After you're done with your activities, you may want to unwind at the on-site restaurant, which has a roomy terrace. The site has many modern and well-kept amenities and services: it's so clued up that it even has its own gas station. Surroundings await for active and scenic times too: it's minutes away from hiking trails around the Rhône river and five minutes' walk away from the cable car to the ski stations of Eischoll and Unterbäch, and within driving distance of toboggan rides, glaciers, the Matterhorn and the world's highest revolving restaurant. To add to that, there are several thermal baths/spas within half an hour's drive of the site.

What customers say

This campsite offers a beautiful valley location with stunning mountain views and easy access to cable cars. Guests consistently praise the very clean, modern, and well-maintained toilet and shower facilities. Pitches are generally spacious and flat. While some found the self-check-in process impersonal, overall satisfaction is high, with many recommending the site for its facilities and location. Issues with Wi-Fi and occasional road noise have been noted, with a new tunnel project aiming to reduce traffic noise.

Disliked Locatie, erg duur, geen WIFI, geen winkel

From the manager: Goedendag Martine
Wat jammer, dat het niet zo goed bevallen is. De plaatsgrootte heeft natuurlijk zijn prijs. Bovendien is Simplonblick één van de goedekoopste campings in de regio en zeer centraal gelegen om zowel tochten in Ober- als in Unterwallis te ondernemen. Helaas was tijdens uw verblijf een technische storing bij de Wlan, waarvoor onze IT-man nieuwe onderdelen moest bestellen.
Wat het beantwoorden van de mails aangaat. Wij beantwoorden hier voor onze 2 campings tientallen mails per dag. Nu in het hoogseizoen kan het misschien wat langer duren, maar antwoord geven we altijd.
Vriendelijke groeten

Liked Nothing. I pulled in and left to stay in a hotel instead.

Disliked No shelter, shade or privacy. Tents too close together. Not my cup of tea at all.

From the manager: We are sorry you didn't like our campsite. Everyone is looking for another experience and has other expectations we guess.

Liked Beautiful location, friendly staff.
Toilets/showers are immaculate

Disliked Not having an allocated pitch was a bit free for all, couldn’t really get a proper pitch and squeezed on the back of someone else’s.

John S. 1 review

Electric grass pitch

Liked Pomieszczenia sanitarne jak nowe, czyste.
Przy chwilowym problemie z prądem miła obsługa szybko go rozwiązała. Cena jak na Szwajcarię bardzo przystępna.

Disliked Brak możliwości rezerwacji kwater a i nie są wyznaczone. Gdzie się zmieścisz tam stoisz. Zajęło mi 15- 20 min zanim znalazłem miejsce. Jeśli ktoś przyjedzie bardzo późno to może mieć kłopot.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Serdecznie dziękujemy za wspaniałą recenzję.
W sezonie zalecamy naszym gościom przyjazd do godziny 20.00, aby na miejscu była jeszcze osoba, która będzie mogła Państwu pomóc.
Z przyjemnością powitamy Państwa u nas innym razem.
Z pozdrowieniami

Local attractions

Raron's locale is under an hour from the mountain resorts of the Upper Valais, from Aletschgebiet to Zermatt under the Matterhorn peak. You can travel over the border to Italy or to other Swiss cantons via mountain passes and spectacular views: particularly recommended by the site team are the Simplon Pass, connecting Brig in Valais with Domodossola in Italy's Piedmont, and the Furka Pass, linking Andermatt in Uri with Gletsch in Valais. Another tiptop option is a trip to the Aletsch Glacier, the biggest glacier in the Alps and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Jungfrau-Aletsch. To visit a glacier from the inside, have a day at the Ice Pavillion of Saas-Fee, next to the world's highest revolving restaurant. A 70-metre long tunnel leads into the ice of the glacier, which can be reached via a subterranean cable car.
