At a unique location amongst the highest peaks of the Swiss Alps, in the south-western part of the country, lies mountain campsite Des Glaciers. This is a fully-equipped campsite with a friendly atmosphere. The campsite is located at an elevation of 1600 metres. Here, you camp in the heart of the Val Ferret, a valley in the Mont Blanc massif. A true paradise for mountain climbers and hikers. There are also trails for less experienced mountaineering enthusiasts.

Camping in unspoilt nature

Camping in the middle of unspoilt nature and under the stars: At campsite Des Glaciers, you camp with the ultimate sense of freedom. Non-demarcated pitches of varying sizes lie scattered over the beautiful and vast campsite grounds. Choose for a spot in the shade of the pine forest or in the sunny meadow. 

The view of the mountaintops and the glacier from your camping pitch is truly phenomenal, whether you're located at the edge of the forest or on an open field.

For campers looking to get even higher...

One of the two playgrounds on the campsite features a large climbing wall. A fun way to get some practice in before tackling the mountains. This climbing wall, which you climb with the necessary safety precautions, is also a favourite with children. You will also find a tree-top adventure course with a zip-line and a large inflatable air cushion.

Swiss cuisine

Bread and a small selection of groceries is available at the reception. You can do the rest of your grocery shopping in the small supermarket in the village, a ten-minute walk from the campsite. Here you will also find several restaurants where you can enjoy the Swiss cuisine.

Travelling party: Couple

stayed here for a couple of nights. Cold at nights due to alpine weather, but when prepared for the cold and wet this is the best alpine environment I have stayed in.
