  • Alpine campsite with spectacular views of the Gastlosen massif
  • Jaun two hours by bike and Bäderhorn 20 minutes’ drive
  • Playground, games and a TV room on site, plus a shop and snack bar
Ever wanted to pitch up amid lush pine forest overlooking the Bernese Alps? Here’s your chance, for at Camping Jaunpass, 15 minutes’ drive from Boltigen in the Obersimmental-Saanen, all the pitches have views of the rocky peaks of the Gastlosen massif. And this site is not just spectacular, it’s also very family friendly. Thoughtful facilities to make your holiday go with a swing include modern shower facilities with bags of hot water, washing machines and a drying room. There’s a baby-changing room and a kids’ playground, plus all sorts of activities like ping pong, table football, darts and boccia (a bit like pétanque). You can also get together and watch TV in the communal space when you need some quiet downtime. So you have plenty to keep kids occupied then. But what about food? That’s all sorted too, thanks to a shop at reception, which is well-stocked with all the staples like fresh bread, regional cheeses and cold meats, pasta, rice and chilled white wine. Not keen on cooking? Kids’ favourites like pizza and burgers are served in the snack bar, along with local dishes like fondue and schnitzel.

Daranee S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Site is in a fantastic location up very high in the mountains. Great roads up with tremendous views. Excellent showers and wc facilities which were spotless. Good coffee shop and cafe. Site was full so our pitch was little more than a car park, but the views made it all worthwhile.

Liked: El entorno de Jaun es expectacular. Muy limpio.

Disliked: El camping es muy pequeño y los espacios de duchas bastante antiguos y estrechos. Me habría gustado que también hubiese cartelería en inglés.

Mark F. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Facilities were clean and space to wash up and dry clothes. Little shop and restaurant on site. Communication and check in easy. Location lovely!

Disliked: From the pictures we were led to believe we would have a marked area/bay and some grass. We were put on what effectively was a carpark with cars and camper vans. Tents were fine on the grass but for a vehicle such as us with a roof tent it left much to be desired. Was okay for a 1 night stop over.

Sophie T. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Beautiful views and lovely hikes nearby. Toilets and showers were clean.

Disliked: We were put on what looked like a car park with lots of other vans so didn’t have any grass to sit out on, couldn’t put our awning up etc. it felt like they were very stuck for space and were just shoving people in anywhere. If you’re in a tent you’ll get grass so not a problem. Just felt like we were paying a fair amount to stay in a car park.

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked: Una experiencia única, un camping con buenas instalaciones, vistas a la montaña espectaculares, muy limpio todo, y el servicio excelente. Baños y duchas limpias, servicio de lavandería con lavadoras, y picas para lavar los platos. También disponen de tienda pequeñita para comprar algun producto. Además nos encontramos a Xavier, un catalán muy simpático y dispuesto a ayudarnos con todo. Sin duda repetiria otra vez una estancia allí. Gracias por todo!

Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Whilst limited in number the toilets were clean and in working order. The pitch was good quality grass and of a good size. The site is in a perfect location for walks. Great views. Friendly staff and the site is Dog friendly. Only 35-40 mins into Thune which is

Disliked: Only friction we had initially was access to electric due to number of pitches. Soon resolved and the staff provided an adapter.

Local attractions

Active types will no doubt be itching to discover the Bernese Alps on foot or by bike; expert hikers can yomp up the Bäderhorn (20 minutes’ drive) for stunning views to Mont Blanc from the summit. There’s a popular and way-marked loop through the Gastlosen massif from Musersbergli car park (15 minutes) that’s good for competent teenage walkers, and if you’re with younger kids, a gentle hike through alpine meadows around the campsite may suffice. Cyclists can take the switchback road through a steep mountain pass up to Jaun (around two hours by bike), a gorgeous village of traditional chalets with steep pitched roofs tucked into the mountain foothills. If you need a picnic spot, plonk yourselves down on the banks of the dramatic waterfall just outside the village. When you’re staying at Camping Jaunpass in late November, there may already be a scattering of snow. While the ski resorts don’t officially open until the end of December, you can get out on the slopes with the kids to have rollicking snowball fights or try out snowshoeing.
