  • 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

Fantastic, spotless facilities! Guests rave about spacious pitches & mountain views. Good food & service at the restaurant. Some found website photos misleading (industrial, road noise). Self-check-in & amenity availability issues noted.

Liked The campsite is fantastic located at the foot of the Alps. The ‘self check in’ is easy and you just find a free spot that fits you. The staff is driving/walking around the site and are very helpfull and friendly. Every time they said: is there anything else I can do for you. The toilets and baths are new and clean and working.

Disliked A bit confusing how we should sort the waist and the big containers were locked. If you raised the price a bit the orange wast backs could be free.

Liked Wszystko było ok. Duża parcela, czystość łazienek - super! Basen całkiem ok.

Disliked Można by trochę popracować nad placem zabaw dla dzieci - niektóre elementy wymagają ze względów bezpieczeństwa małej renowacji. WiFi działa tylko przy placu zabaw, ale taki detoks też jest ok ;)

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.
