  • 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

Stunning mountain views & spotless modern facilities, especially the loos! Spacious, tidy sites. Recent upgrades are a plus. Road noise noted by some, check-in can be a bit iffy with no staff. Pool's a winner. Many keen to come back.

Liked Los baños estaban muy bien

Disliked No hay ningun tipo de control, la gente utiliza las parcelas a su antojo y sin limitar, no hay ningún tipo de privacidad, había personas haciendo barbacoas en el suelo… no es nada recomendable, nos fuimos el primer día y ni llegamos a dormir allí

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Es una pena que no le haya gustado.
Un saludo cordial

Great stop of for maximum 3 nights.

Liked Loved the location, train station 5 mins Cable cars five mins. Train into Visp up to Zermatt was amazing. Great stop off location between France and Italy. Would definitely stay again. Self check in was odd but worked for us.

Disliked Bins had to be by special use bags to be paid for, hook up connection special type had to be rented. All from office at different campsite 10 mins walk away. But didn’t spoil the stay. Weather changed fast and wind comes down through the mountains but that is to be expected.

From the manager: Dear James
Thank you very much for your detailed review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to welcome you again someday.

 Joanne F. 4 reviews

Liked Clean modern toilet, shower and washing facilities with free showers. Always clean. Despite looking too crowded on our first day of arrival, when it emptied out the campsite was spacious, but smaller pitches. The pool was a big hit along with the restaurant! With two shower and toilets also lots of options if busy.

Disliked The washing machine was temperamental and kept locking so we had to add more money to open the doors and get water out. This really needs amending as we were not the only ones who had this issue.

There was no privacy between pitches, and a little small.

The WiFi doesn’t reach the pitches but it did us an excuse to go to the brilliant Italian restaurant.

From the manager: Dear Joanne
Thank you very much for your kind review.
We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us.
The issue with the washing machine will be cleared with the company that runs them (not our machines).
We would love to welcome you again someday.

Liked Sanitair en plaatsgrootte

Disliked Locatie, erg duur, geen WIFI, geen winkel

Recommend to friends Visit again

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.

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.
