Morgins: Camping La Mare au Diable - Valais Les Portes du Soleil

The landscape around Morgins is a high Alpine valley of meadows and conifer forest beside the French border, which has shaped both its scattered settlement pattern and its economy of mountain farming and year-round tourism. The village lies in Val de Morgins in the canton of Valais and is part of the Portes du Soleil ski domain, whose lifts and trails extend across Switzerland and France. Morgins belongs to the municipality of Troistorrents, while the nearby Pas de Morgins is a road crossing into the French Chablais. In warmer months, the same slopes draw walkers and mountain bikers.

Valais combines high-alpine terrain with vineyard-lined valley life in a way that reflects its position between the Rhône Valley and the Pennine Alps. These coordinates lie in the Val d’Anniviers, a side valley where the Navizence flows north towards the Rhône and long-settled communities occupy slopes beneath high peaks. Across the canton, mountain pastures, glaciers and celebrated summits shape daily life as much as the broad, productive valley floor. Valais is also Switzerland’s leading wine-producing canton, and its historic bisses—open irrigation channels—show how generations adapted dry sunny slopes for cultivation.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
