Dog Friendly Luxury Chalets and Villas

Your dog can’t ski, and they will probably spend most of the holiday asleep by the fire, so why bother taking them to the Alps?

When they see real snow for the first time, their little eyes light up with wonder at a whole new world. Seeing the joy they get from simple things that we take for granted, we gain a greater appreciation for everything.

A family ski trip is a time to come together and create magical memories. It’s easy in our busy day-to-day lives to neglect quality time, and on a ski holiday we get the chance to spend more time with our family, and that could include the four-legged family members.

For it to be a real family holiday, you need the whole family there. Your dog is there for you every day, through highs and lows, unconditionally loving you. So, it only feels right to bring them along.

Whoever is not skiing in your group can spend the day in the beautiful mountain scenery with the little guy.

Walking your dog is one of life’s great simple pleasures, and you can do it anywhere. But let’s face it, your dog has seen the same parks a million times. If you were happy staying in the same place, you wouldn’t be going on holiday.

Have they strolled the sands of paradise beaches in the Indian Ocean, scent-basked in the dreamy lavender fields in Provence, or ran riverside in the ancient valley of Lake Como? It’s time for a “double you aye ell kay” (translation: walk) that will get their tail really wagging.

They know you’re going somewhere when you start packing, and the guilt starts to kick in when they get excited, so why not bring the little guy this time?

We’re not saying they should come on every holiday. We know it can be a little harder to organise, and sometimes it just doesn’t make sense. But you should bring them on a luxury summer holiday at least once.
