What to keep in mind

Guidelines for guests with dogs at the resort

  • Please keep your dog on a lead at all times in the hotel
  • Dogs must wear a lead and a muzzle on cable cars and public buses

  • Please use dog waste bags and dispose of them in the designated bins

Thank you for being considerate of others!

Respectful behaviour around grazing livestock

Staying safe on alpine pastures

  • Livestock can feel threatened by dogs, so take extra care
  • Plan your route to avoid grazing areas wherever possible
  • Keep your dog on a short lead, never attached to your body
  • Keep your distance from the herd and prevent barking or chasing
  • If cattle approach aggressively, let your dog off the lead immediately to protect yourself
  • Never pick up or defend your dog

Bringing your dog onto alpine pastures is at your own risk.
