  • 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

Lovely mountain views & super clean facilities. Spacious pitches. Popular restaurant. Self-check-in can be a bit impersonal for some, but improved lately. A bit of road noise but overall very good.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Easy to locate and the pitches were spacious.
The facilities were fantastic! All extremely clean and the shower having a timer was a nice touch. The swimming pool is rough around the edges so I would keep that in mind however it’s a lovely touch and nice to use after a long hike.

The restaurant was incredible, the food was delicious and the staff were so friendly. It’s nice they’re opened till slightly later especially after a long drive/hike.

Everything is also well lit and relatively close.

Disliked Nothing - everything was wonderful.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Swimming pool is the best here, pitches are poor and dry, hard to camp on with tent. Shop is available however food restaurant is available. WiFi did not work for me or people in the past either. There are small lizards on site so be aware and insect bites can happen. Washing machine and tumble dryer are not effectivly working.

From the manager: Dear Aisha
Camping is an experience of the great outdoors. So it goes without saying that there are insects and other animals around. The pitches were hard and dry, as there hasn’t been much rain since March. Here, too, we’re at the mercy of nature.
Judging by your review, you’re not really the camping type and would be better off staying in a hotel or appartment.
Kind regards

Liked El lugar muy bonito y pintoresco

Disliked La piscina, las veredas del entorno a la misma son rugosas y de mala calidad casi no se puede caminar, lástima la planta de los pies y no son para nada cómodas.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Buenos días,
Muchas gracias por su valoración.
El borde de la piscina debe estar así de rugoso, ya que, de lo contrario, existe un gran riesgo de resbalones.
Saludos cordiales

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.
