Hi,

We are hoping to camp in the Martigny area for a few days in August this year for some climbing, VF and walking. Does anyone have preferred campsites to recommend? Even better if there are any where you can just turn up and there are spaces available reliably in August. We have an 11 year old and a 14 year old. 

Also, any recommendations for Via Ferrata there would be great. Brig Spa is already on the must-do list. 

Via Ferrata La Farinetta is just down the road. Plenty more slightly further away.

Thanks Mike

This is a really lovely spot, perfectly located for walking and some good climbing. The owners are great too. Its a 20 minute drive up from Martigny but is nice and high so much cooler than the valley. The valley floor is sweltering in summer.

Google 'Salvan escalade topo' and you should be able to find the various crags on the mountain and in the gorge. There is multipitch, hard sport, easy sport and bouldering nearby.

Oh yeah, on Google Play Store there is an app called 'Les Carnets d'escalade'. It includes most of the crags in the area.

Ooh, thanks, that looks great. The other members of the family can swim in that lake too

Do you remember if their freezer for freezer blocks was up to much? 

No idea, sorry.
