The Camper’s take

Updated June 2026

Mountain bivouac at 1,600 m altitude on gravel terrain, approximately 40 pitches. Height-restricted access (12 m max via Bourg-Saint-Maurice). Water and public toilets on voluntary donation basis (€10-15/night). Spectacular panoramic views, trailhead for hiking (Mont-Blanc Tour, Vallée des Glaciers). Restaurants and small shop nearby. No mobile network. 48-hour stay limit posted.

Highlights

  • Exceptional panoramic mountain views
  • Numerous hiking trailheads directly accessible
  • Peaceful nighttime atmosphere, ideal for hikers
  • Water and toilets functional despite the remote location

Good to know

  • No mobile signal or 4G data
  • Cash payment required for services and restaurants
  • Heavy summer crowds
  • Unmaintained aggressive dogs reported nearby

Motorhome access : Flat gravelled area with about 40 spots. Tricky access: limited to 12 m height via Bourg-Saint-Maurice; large vehicles must detour via Beaufort-sur-Doron. Possible to maneuver but the unmarked terrain is chaotic.
