Camping Simplonblick

View prices & book Last booked one day ago 8.5 42 reviews

Peaceful and pretty site in the Swiss Alps, close to riverside trails
Within half an hour's drive of several thermal baths/spas
Pool, garden, trampoline, restaurant, terrace and gas station

Just simply spectacular... this, right now, is where you stop and flick through the site pics. Back? As you'll have spied, Camping Simplonblick is a scenic and spacious place, made up of green grounds, colourful flowers and fab facilities to keep you occupied from morn to night. You may care to cool off in the pool followed by a lengthy sunbathing session in the big surrounding garden, for example, or knock a ball about at the ping pong tables or pétanque courts. If you're roaming the grounds with your offspring, let them loose at the play area or to bounce around on the trampoline: offering prizes for the highest and/or most elaborate bounce is optional but highly amusing... Then there's a site restaurant with a roomy terrace and bar for you all to recover and refuel at. Surroundings await for active and scenic times too: Camping Simplonblick is in the Raron district of the Swiss canton of Valais, directly on the cantonal road in the centre of the Upper Valais and easily accessible by car, motorbike or by train. It's minutes too from hiking trails around the Rhône river and the ski stations of Eischoll or Unterbäch, and within easy reach 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. A bouldering wall is on site, along with modern and well-kept amenities and services: this site is so clued up that it even has its own gas station.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The views

Disliked: The facilities where unavailable water had to be got from near reception don’t respond to email when asked about late arrival so ended up staying in a store car park with small children as we felt unsafe and site didn’t reply if late arrival was ok.

Offered to use private toilet with shower as shower block off but this was limited to 6 mins with 5 mins wait between so had cold children waiting for it to come back on which is bad in the alpes in winter

From the manager: Dear Dawn
We are sorry, that you had a bad experience.
We will take your suggestions to heart and use them to improve our offer.
Concerning the showers, these are eco-showers, ecological to counteract water waste. As we have very cold temperatures in winter, we cannot leave all water points connected, but we have a water pint available.
Since it is a self check-in campsite, there won't always be somenone around to answer yur requests via mail.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Beautiful location and views, pretty much staying in the alps.
Very modern facilities, great showers and toilet, soap provided but no blotting paper. We stayed right out the back of the campsite so the wifi was weak, but closer to reception /main building it was much better. The reception is unmanned, but lots of posters and information provided in the reception building. Did not use the swimming pool so cannot comment on it.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The Camping was great, had a spacious place for our 4 person tent, with enough space to park the car next to it. Waking up with mountains all around, with a clear sky you can see them all, some days we had some clouds which had it's own beauty. The toilets and showers were very clean, the showers are way better than expected and free. The wifi worked well and a gas station near the entrance, which is nice when you're traveling through the country.

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.
