  • Quiet rural site a kilometre from the village of Entracque
  • Big outdoor pool complex with three pools, waterslide and inflatables
  • Among the spectacular surroundings of the Maritime Alps Natural Park
Have a bit of Italy, have a bit of France and have a peacefully rural time here, in the Valle Gesso of the Maritime Alps of north-west Italy. The Piedmont locale of Campeggio Valle Gesso is just outside the small but popular tourist and skiing town of Entracque a few kilometres from the French border and on the edge of the Natural Park of the Maritime Alps. Hiking and mountain biking routes for all ages and abilities start around the site; close by, the natural park is where to go climbing, rafting and horse riding among the lakes, mountain huts and high peaks… or go in search of native ibex, marmots and chamois. Although it's in a peaceful and remote spot, this is a well-equipped and spacious site, with plentiful facilities for all tastes. The central leisure hub is the swimming pool complex, made up of three outdoor pools with waterslide, inflatables, hydro massage seat and a waterfall (and set in spectacular mountain surroundings: see the site pics…). Out of the water, you can kick a ball about on the football pitch or chuck one around on the volleyball courts, play ping pong or billiards, or accompany the kids as they check out the playground. Use the barbecue area to prep dinner with bits and pieces from the mini market, then amble over to the bar for sups as the sun goes down. A footpath and cycle path connect the site to the village centre, less than a kilometre away.

Liked: La location

Disliked: Continuo a non capire e sarà la punto forte della decisione di non andare in campeggio ma in aree sosta, il fatto che in un periodo dove le piscine non sono piu' fruibili per il freddo anche se aperte e pagare anche per far la doccia, 37 euro per 24 ore e' eccessivo. i

Liked: Swimming pool was great fun and big enough wherever get busy and the view with the mountains Little town only a few minutes walk have the best lemon gelato!!We went back every night for ice cream! Toilet always was clean Receptionist speak English

Disliked: Our pitch was close to the road side and was very noisy with surprisingly busy traffic. Also incredibly lots of ants everywhere (maybe not the campsite fault)but we’re weak up with lots of bites. In the swimming pool need it wearing swimming hats for everyone For the shower need it using tokens Receptionist only tells you information about the campsite rules but nothing about what you can find in the area..

Liked: L'accueil et les conseils pour les randonnées. La piscine est grande, bien entretenue et bien organisée Les sanitaires sont impeccables. Les emplacements sont grands, propres, à l'ombre. Le camping est parfaitement entretenu et le personnel est disponible et réactif. La petite boutique/bar est la bienvenue quand il manque quelque chose. Le camping est proche de tout : le village d'Entracque, les randonnées, etc...

Disliked: Rien!

Liked: Il campeggio ha una fantastica piscina ideale per la calura estiva. I proprietari sono molto attenti alla sicurezza e ci sono sparsi per il campeggio dei punti con lampeggianti rossi e luci che dovrebbero fungere da punti di raccolta in caso di pericolo. Anche se non ne ho usufruito l'area barbeque è molto grande e ben organizzata. svuotamento acque grigie e cassetta vicino ad un blocco bagni,

Disliked: quello che ho trovato migliorabile sono le poche docce ( nel blocco bagni più piccolo ) e l'acqua calda a pagamento. sono stato recentemente 15 gg in moltissimi campeggi in Francia e la doccia calda è sempre gratis ovunque. Comprendo che le decisioni dei proprietari siano dettate dalla sicurezza ma spesso sono eccessive. Anche parlando con altri campeggiatori tutti erano concordi nel definire la gestione del campeggio troppo rigida. sono del parere che la permanenza in un campeggio dovrebbe essere un momento di relax e non dovrebbe iniziare discutendo su come deve essere posizionato il camper in un'area tra l'altro nemmeno delineata.

Local attractions

For its size, local village Entracque is a well-known mountain base for Piedmont summer and winter tourism, popular for outdoor pursuits since the late 19th century. Two alpine ski lifts are in town, along with one of Italy's biggest cross-ski areas. Entracque is part of the Maritime Alps, on the border between Italy's Piedmont and Liguria and the French region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. The Alps have long been a habitat for wolves: to learn more about them and see an eight-hectare area where some live, visit the Uomini e Lupi centre a kilometre away, and the accompanying exhibition centre in Entracque. A tourist office for the area is in the Uomini e Lupi visitor centre. Four kilometres away, the natural amphitheatre of the Valdieri Necropolis is an excavation site made up of late Bronze Age and Iron Age burial grounds. The site today has a replicated Bronze Age hut; nearby, the regional museum displays artefacts and jewellery found on the site, alongside information on the area and its people. The museums and churches of province capital Cuneo are 20 kilometres away.
