Camping Tunnel International
Tucked away in the mountains above Étroubles, this family-run campsite in the Aosta Valley offers a remarkably peaceful and well-maintained escape, drawing guests back year after year with its warm hospitality and stunning alpine setting. The managers and staff are consistently praised for their exceptional friendliness, helpfulness, and professionalism, speaking multiple languages and making visitors feel like part of the family. Cleanliness is a standout feature across the property, with sanitary facilities cleaned multiple times daily, though some guests note that the main washrooms can feel dated or cramped. The site is perfectly positioned for exploring the region, with hiking and biking trails starting right from the grounds, easy access to the charming village of Étroubles, and proximity to the Gran San Bernardo tunnel and Via Francigena trail. Pitches vary in size and shade, with many offering beautiful mountain views, though some are noted as small or stony, especially for tents. The on-site bar is a beloved gathering spot, serving excellent coffee, local aperitifs, and snacks on a lovely terrace, while a small shop just outside the entrance provides basic supplies. A small swimming pool, suitable mainly for cooling off, and a playground keep families entertained, and the atmosphere remains tranquil both day and night. Guests appreciate the free hot showers, regular cleaning of communal areas, and the availability of electric hookups and laundry facilities. Dogs are warmly welcomed, and unique touches like sightings of fox cubs and a cared-for cat colony add charm. Some minor drawbacks include limited Wi-Fi on certain pitches, occasional road noise from the nearby through-road, a mandatory swimming cap, and the need for more toilets or sanitary blocks during peak season. Despite these points, the combination of attentive service, stunning mountain scenery, and serene ambiance makes this an ideal base for hikers, families, and travelers seeking a relaxing getaway in the Italian Alps.
