  • 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.

What customers say

Stunning, peaceful mountain views near a charming alpine village. Friendly staff and great facilities, including a pool. Pitches are close, but it's relaxed. Pool's small for some, one grumpy staff member noted.

Liked The scenery, the facilities were clean. The bakery was nice with a very nice staff member.

Disliked Insufficient options for shelter during bad weather. The sites are small. Not really a long stay option for families with children. Lots of noise in the morning with chain saws. Sound of hunting rifles in the afternoon. If you go driving to see things local workers push you to drive fast when you want to slow down and admire this amazing environment.

Liked Amazing views, clean, well equipped facilities, warm welcome, great wifi.

Disliked The play equipment needs a little investment but there's also another play area by the boulangerie next door, and my kids didn't seem to mind.

Liked Beautiful scenery. Evolène is a fantastic traditional village. We liked having pool
Access and facilities were clean, some fabulous walks on your doorstep.

Disliked There was a music festival happening in the town during our stay. The music was lovely in the earlier part of the evening and we enjoyed the ambience but after the live music had finished there was a club night until 3am on every night of our 4 night stay. It was incredibly loud and we didn’t sleep well at all throughout our stay. The campsite did email a little while before our stay to warn of the festival but there was not sufficient indication of how late this would last or in fact how close and loud it would be. I think guests should be made aware of dance music until the early hours explicitly. We would definitely stay again but would have to check nearby events carefully before booking.

Power optional grass site

Liked That there was a spot. It is vert crowded in this area, especially during Summer. The photo's on the site look great, but too many people on top of each other.

Disliked There is no tent place.
You will be in between motorhomes and cars, on top of each other. Your view is other people (that look at you) and cars. It was a very bad experience. We had planned two night but did not know how fast we could get out of this place.

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.
