Campsite Wallis
A campsite in the heart of nature
At over 1,000 meters altitude, Alpsafari welcomes you to Nax, in an exceptional natural setting with breathtaking views over the Rhône Valley. Our campsite in Valais offers a dozen safari glamping tents and around thirty camping pitches for tents, vans, and campervans, creating a perfect retreat in the heart of the Swiss Alps.
Set on 26,000 square meters of southwest-facing terraces, Alpsafari is the ideal place to admire spectacular Alpine sunsets while enjoying a peaceful and private setting.
Easy access, just 20 minutes from Sion
Located just 20 minutes from Sion, Alpsafari is easily accessible by car. For those traveling without a vehicle, direct public transport links from Sion railway station provide easy access to the campsite. The village of Nax, just above, offers essential amenities such as a bakery, a supermarket, several restaurants, and a local craft brewery..
A nature-focused camping experience
At Alpsafari, we are dedicated to preserving the natural beauty of the site, encouraging the return of wildflowers, birds, and pollinators. Nestled just below the Alpine forests, the campsite is surrounded by birch, ash, and wild cherry trees, providing natural shade for most pitches.
Guests can wake up to birdsong in the morning, and during the summer, the distant cowbells of young cows grazing in the pastures below. In the quieter low season, it’s even possible to spot deer or foxes nearby. Thanks to the clear mountain skies, the campsite is also an incredible spot for stargazing all year round.
Outdoor swimming pool and relaxation area
At the heart of Alpsafari, a shaded garden offers a peaceful space to unwind. The outdoor swimming pool, open during the summer months, provides stunning views over the Rhône Valley. The pool is not heated, with water temperatures ranging between 15°C and 24°C, and is maintained with minimal chlorine use. A gated entrance ensures that young children cannot enter unsupervised. During the low season, the pool may be opened to the public.
Comfortable deck chairs, sun loungers, and hammocks are available in the garden, along with a vintage foosball table, climbing frames, and a nest swing for children.
A restaurant featuring local flavors
Our on-site restaurant provides a welcoming space, with a terrace overlooking the pool and a cozy indoor dining area with a wood burner for cooler days.
During the high season, the restaurant is open from 10 am to 10 pm, while in the low season, service is mainly available on weekend evenings, with food baskets available at any time.
We take pride in using fresh, local ingredients to prepare delicious meals on-site. Our menu features Valaisan sharing platters, including smoked trout and fresh cheeses, as well as evening dishes such as homemade burgers and the “Nendette”, followed by homemade desserts. To accompany your meal, we offer a selection of local wines, Morand syrups, and a small cocktail menu, perfect for enjoying the sunset from the terrace.
For added flexibility, we also provide takeaway options, whether it’s fries to complement your barbecue or a full meal. Throughout the year, a small camper’s store offers camping essentials, a bread and breakfast service, and food basket options during the low season. Outside the high season, we occasionally host aperitif evenings with Valaisan platters and traditional raclette nights.
Convenient services for campers
The campsite is equipped with three sanitary blocks, ensuring that facilities are always nearby. These include hot showers, toilets, and two washing machines. While we do not yet have a baby bath, we can provide large basins for outdoor use.
For added convenience, we offer small fridge rentals and can lend fondue or raclette equipment for an authentic Swiss dining experience. Free wifi is available in the restaurant and lounge area.
Campfires are allowed in designated areas, depending on cantonal fire regulations, and firewood and firelighters are available for purchase on-site.
To encourage eco-friendly camping, the site provides recycling bins for PET, glass, aluminum, and compost (limited to vegetable peelings to prevent attracting wildlife). Household waste must be disposed of in official Valaisan tax bags, available for purchase, and placed in public containers at the campsite exit.
A dog-friendly campsite in Valais
Dogs are welcome at Alpsafari at no extra charge. They are not permitted in the pool and garden area but are allowed throughout the rest of the site, including the restaurant. We ask owners to keep their dogs on a lead, ensure they do not cause disturbances, and clean up after them using the dog waste bins provided.
At Alpsafari, we have created a campsite in Valais where guests can reconnect with nature, enjoy a comfortable yet authentic camping experience, and discover the beauty of the Swiss Alps. Whether you stay in a tent, van, or safari glamping tent, we look forward to welcoming you and sharing our passion for this special place.
