I physically went to the location of King Interlaken's Crystal Palace in Italy near the Matterhorn in 1999: however, it is a different timeline than this one
I sensed it nearby so I drove the motorhome I had rented in Munich, Germany up from Aosta, Italy where we were staying then. I sensed it nearby and I was guided to it's location then. What I found amazing was it was named then in 1999 on this timeline "The Dalai Lama Camping Club" but here today in 2022 it is called the Dalai Lama Village:

"Relax, dream, taste and explore" The glamour campsite in Aosta Valley! The DalaiLama Village is more than a village where to spend the holiday with your children in the heart of Aosta Valley. Sweet rays of sunshine that warm the mountains. Sparkling air that fills up your heart and your soul. Meadows drawn by flowers and woods that charm children and grown-ups. People come to DalaiLama Village to relax, walk and ride. Or to admire the well-known beauties of Aosta Valley. The campsite looks out onto Cervinia Valley, Valtournenche and it is a place where to experience the real nature. When you arrive, carefully look around you with curious eyes: the Alps will give you thousands of different emotions every season.
Again, similar to previous reviews we stayed out of season with our motorhome and had the place to ourselves. We had a panoramic pitch and it exceeded our expectations with amazing views, wonderful walks and pleasant clean facilities. I personally don't think the web site photos do the village's situation justice. We had a afternoon in the spa and were able to swim and relax in the hot tub taking in the amazing views. The staff were friendly, professional and helpful especially helping us getting our vehicle onto and off the site as we were above the snow line and our pitch had to be cleared.
We camped here in our campervan at the very end of the season so had the place to ourselves. Basically the only thing you really need to know is the view is absolutely spectacular. Perhaps the best I have ever seen - but we were there in great weather Other details BUT this all applies to the fact we were there when it was empty! 1) great loos/showers (I imagine awful in high season - only 6 showers for a massive site) 2) Dog friendly (but loads of wild cats that sent our doglets wild!) 3) AMAZING walking routes right out of the campsite 4) wifi 5) bar/restaurant looked lovely but was of course shut 6) Expensive - 34 euro for one night of camping - the most we spent on our whole trip and only worth it when everything is open - and no doubt very very busy SO for me this was…
When driving from the mt blanc tunnel south into Italy the Aosta valley is a fantastic place to spend a few days and the dalai lama camp/ hotel is well worth the harrowing drive up into the clouds. We stayed for 3days in our motorhome and enjoyed the beautiful location the main building is a great piece of architecture built like a Tibetan village using local timber perched high on a mountain . The evening meal was fantastic and the selection of local wine including the Valle del Aosta red. Great experience and would go back tomorrow if we could
An excellent place to relax and enjoy the mountain atmosphere. If you like hiking, nature, relaxing, excellent Italian cuisine, peace and quite then this is the place for you. Make sure that you try the restaurant hidden away behind the Spa for a taste of real Italian home cooking, just like Mama makes!
We stayed here on either end of a hiking trip staying at a rifugio in between stays. I had already refused to sleep in a tent any more days so it was a nice compromise. They had older (1970s?) campers permanently parked which acted like rooms to rent. Small, basic, but in this situation it was all that was needed. Staff was very friendly, able to accommodate us without a reservation. Campers were clean, towels/shampoo were provided. No Air conditioning or fan which would have been helpful since I was uncomfortable through the night. Shared bathroom/shower facilities. Also had an area for washing clothes. Small village about 6-7km away where you can get groceries, etc. We did not eat at restaurant or use the (indoor) pool but both looked inviting. Price was good.…
