We stayed at this site as a group of eleven for four nights on our way to Lake Garda. Set up a hill in rural Switzerland it’s a good site in very nice part of the world. We stayed in Eurocamp tents, there were tents and cabins provided by other companies, touring caravans and quite a few private permanent mobile homes. Facilities includes a good pool, café and restaurant plus a shop. Toilet facilities were OK. You are surrounded mountains which make a great view. Our pitch was in a section down a steep hill and you did need a run up to make it safely to the top, there were touring caravans down there as well and I wouldn’t fancy trying to pull one back up (new clutch sir ?). On our third day it rained, heavily, four hours and hours and some people were washed out. We found the Euro camp reps to be excellent who were very knowledgeable about the local area.
Lots to do around the area. We visited the underground lake at Saint-Léonard, the castle on a hill at Sion, the open air thermal pool complex at Brigerbad which has several hot pools plus a large swimming pool and pool where you can jump/dive from a rocky outcrop, an awesome slide and the fiercest rapids I have ever seen in my life ! We also went up the mountain at Saas Fee. Saas Fee town is an hours drive out of the valley where you park the car in the car park at the entrance as no vehicles (except the local electric small vans) are allowed in the town. We took the two cable cars and funicular railway to the top of the mountain at 12,000 feet where there is a good revolving restaurant. This would have given a fantastic view had it now been shrouded in fog. However, there was very deep snow which made an interesting day out in August. There are also ice caverns cut into the deep ice at the peak with various tunnels and exhibits.
You can use the site as a base for walking/hiking – there are several routes behind the site and a twenty minute walk to a rope bridge (well, it was steel ropes) across a gorge cut out by the rain. Also note, the route from the valley up to the site can be a misleading as it's little rough – but bear with it.
