City advice

What to pack

Where to find food and beverage and other retail stores

Many options: - for food and beverage, in saint Gingolph on the French side of the village, 5’ walking distance, there is a retail store “Casino”. - still on the French side around 15’ by car in Lugrin you have an “Intermarché” with all what you can dream of in terms of food, beverage and more. Just pay attention at not exceeding the custom limits for alcohol, meat, etc. - on the Swiss side 10’ driving distance you have a “Migros” in Le Bouveret with everything food and beverage. - Still on the Swiss side, in Villeneuve, 15’ driving distance, you will find all sorts of stores = big «mall»
