  • Family-run site in the traditional Alpine village of Evolène
  • An hour's drive from the thermal baths of Saillon and Leukerbad
  • Mountain bike hire, play area and swimming pool on site
Folks dreaming of a stay in a classic cute Alpine village, it’s quite possible this is the one you’re searching for. Local dialect, costumes and customs are very much of the traditional variety in Evolène, and the gorgeous dark wood chalets are like straight out of a picture book (or your daydreams, perhaps). Select a stay with Michel and family at Camping d’Evolène and you’ll be right in the middle of the action – the central Valais village location being mightily handy for restaurants and shops as well as for joining in with carnival or any other jollity that might be taking place. It’s also a rather fab spot for getting out into nature – hiking, mountain biking, climbing and paragliding are among the ways to get out and see the scenic surrounds of the area’s mountains and glaciers, and you can hire kit in the village to save lugging your own along. At the other end of the spectrum there’s also heaps of space around the site itself where you can put your feet up while gazing at the epic views (nibbles of local cheese and/or choccie optional but highly recommended). Those 360º mountain views mean you’ll not even need to tear yourself from the gawping if you fancy a swim in the outdoor pool, or are dragged off to supervise the nippers at the play area.

Liked: The surroundings are amazing.

Disliked: They should advertise that the swimming pool is "small". On 2 occasions we had to ask to replace the toilet paper in both gents and ladies toilets. The staff don't speak English.

Local attractions

Even hardcore outdoorsy types will be hard-pressed to run out of things to do in the mountains around the site – a hefty 100 kilometres of mountain bike trails and 250 kilometres of hiking trails for starters, plus tennis courts, paintballing, paragliding and via ferrata climbing routes. Save the hassle of bringing your mountain bike by hiring one on site. Take the tiddlers off for a taste of various activities (including treetop trails, mountain bikes and a climbing wall) at the Forêt Aventures centre in Vercorin, 45 minutes’ drive away, tackle the Adventure Maze in Evionnaz or pop over to the Marécottes zoo (both an hour away). Overdone the activity a tad? Time, perhaps, to soak in the thermal baths at Saillon or Leukerbad, both of which you can get to in an hour or so.
