Bringing Your Dog to Morzine

If you can't imagine leaving your dog at home when you go on holiday, a trip to Morzine is definitely worth considering. Bringing your dog to Morzine is a great way to bring the whole family on holiday.

Reasons to bring your dog to Morzine

1. Location

Morzine is one of the most northerly resorts in the French Alps. Therefore, as French ski resorts go, it is pretty easy to drive to. With lots of service stations and aires on the way, there are plenty of opportunities to stretch all those legs. Have a look at our blog about driving to Morzine from the UK.

2. Dog friendly bars

Morzine is very dog friendly. If you go in to one of the many bars in Morzine you will usually find a dog under a table or running around the beer garden. During the summer, a few of these bars can turn in to a very entertaining and unorganised version of Crufts.

3. Snowshoeing

Snowshoeing is a great way to see the mountains. There are loads of routes to choose from that are suitable for taking your dog. If you want to go exploring in the winter, you can hire snowshoes in Morzine and get a snowshoeing map from the tourist office. But we recommend that you book a guide. DaysAway Adventures and Magical Snow Treks both offer great dog-friendly snowshoeing experiences, just let them know you'll be bringing your four-legged friend along when you book.

4. Summer walks

There are some great walks straight out of your front door in Morzine. Whether you want to take a stroll along the river where your dog can paddle his toes, or go a bit further, there is always something to do. If you plan your route properly, you can fit in a nice lunch or cheeky glass of wine en route.

You can also go on some pretty epic hikes that you can take more active dogs on. Choose one of the peaks visible from Morzine and go for it. You can also go further afield by using the lift system to cover some extra ground to reach those incredible views.

5. Bringing all your family members on holiday

The best times to bring your dog to Morzine

Sunny skiers and mild temperatures make Spring a great time to bring your dog to Morzine. The pace is a lot more relaxed in Spring than in Winter. You can have a slow start in the morning, and go for walkies while the snow softens before heading up the mountain. 

Of course Summer is ideal for bringing your dog to Morzine too. Whether you want to have an easy stroll along the river or go exploring the mountains and lakes on foot, staying in Morzine is perfect.

And once Spring arrives, the sun stays out longer in the evenings, making it ideal for a drink or two outside one of Morzine's many dog friendly bars.
