Open since 1971, the family run camping ground owes its name to grandma Grittle, the corresponding walser name for Margherita (Margaret). <br>The camping ground, located in a wide level area encompassing over 20,000 sq.m along the banks of the Lys river and surrounded by the charming routes of cross-country ski tracks, is located close to the characteristic centre of the village and to the ski-lift facilities of Weissmatten. Furthermore it is the camping ground closest to the ski slopes of the Monterosa Ski district and is an excellent starting point for numerous walks during summer.
