The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Small private farmland parking at Col des Aravis (2,130 m) offering spectacular views of Mont-Blanc and alpine scenery. Quiet nights despite daytime road traffic. €5/night fee paid at the neighboring farm. Excellent starting point for hiking. Public toilets nearby. Local dairy products (reblochon, tomme) available. Gravel terrain, no electricity or water hookups. Often crowded with regular cars during peak season; recommend early morning or late afternoon arrival.
Highlights
- Stunning views of Mont Blanc and the Aravis range
- Quiet nights guaranteed, great starting point for hikes

Good to know

- Cow bells at night (depends on personal preference)
- Stony ground with no infrastructure (water, electricity)
- Noisy during the day from the road
Motorhome access : Flat stony ground, no barriers, easy maneuvering but parking taken by off-season cars. Arrive early (before 11 AM) or late (after 5 PM) to find a spot.
