Emilie's opinion

What a beautiful campsite! I love the breathtaking view over the valley and the magnificent water park! Don’t hesitate to enjoy a drink on the shaded terrace of the restaurant! The whole team will take great care of you during these wonderful and memorable holidays! Please note that the campsite is very steep. It is well suited for families, teenagers and children, but less suitable for very young children or people with reduced mobility.
