  • 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 and spotless, modern facilities are a hit! Spacious pitches and a great base for exploring are praised. Some guests found it noisy and lacking privacy. Self-check-in's efficient but a bit cold. Wi-Fi and waste signage could be better.

Disliked Het moeten kopen van hun vuilniszakken

En dat sommige mensen totaal geen rekening houden met de regels van 22:00 t/m 07:00 still zijn

Verschillende en niet logische stopcontacten

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Goedemorgen
Hartelijk dank voor uw recensie.
Fijn, dat u het naar uw zin gehad heeft. Elk land heeft zijn eigen regels met de afvalafvoer. Hier in Zwitserland betaald men naar verbruik, in dit geval met vuilniszakken.
Het issue met de stopcontacten wordt hopelijk volgend jaar opgelost.

Liked Clean showers and toilets lovely location very peaceful and relaxing.
Lovelt swimming pool

Disliked No body was at the campsite to advise where to park or any other queries.
Had 3 other motorhomes arrive after us and was confused what electric power socket to use

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Enrico
Thank you for your review.
Everybody gets an email on the arrival day where everything is explained. the same explanation is to be found at the entrance of the campsite.
Our campsite is run as a staff-free campsite with self-check-in and self-check-out. As far as the electric power sockets: every pitch has a socket.
In high season there is a member of staff on site, but only in the morning and in the evening when most people leave and arrive.
People without a reservation should read the information before they enter the campsite;-)
We would love to welcome you again.
Kind regards

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.
