Holiday in Châtel: Chalets that accept dogs and other pets

When planning a holiday in the mountains, it's natural to want to take the whole family along, including our faithful four-legged companions. Châtel, a popular resort in the French Alps, is an ideal destination for an unforgettable holiday with your pet. Find out why renting a pet-friendly chalet is the best option for your mountain break.

Finding a pet-friendly holiday rental means you can enjoy unforgettable moments with your family, including your pet in all your activities. No more worries about pet-sitting or sad goodbyes with your children, now you can explore the wonders of Châtel together.
In this case, renting a chalet or large apartment is just the thing, as it often offers more space and comfort than a hotel or studio. By choosing accommodation with a fenced garden, balcony or enclosed terrace, you can be sure that your pet will be able to stretch its legs after a day in the mountains!

To make sure your stay goes as smoothly as possible, be sure to observe the basic rules of courtesy. Out of respect for your host and the neighbours, don't leave your pet alone in your accommodation, and don't let it bark, and remember to collect any faeces, especially if you have a garden.
You should also find out about the specific rules governing pets in each chalet. Some establishments may apply additional charges or have restrictions on certain breeds. By finding out in advance, you can avoid any unpleasant surprises when you arrive. We would remind you that if it says ‘no pets allowed’, without the owner's prior agreement, your little furball may be refused entry...

Châtel is not only an ideal destination for skiers, it's also a pet-friendly place. In the heart of the Vallée d'Abondance, the village of Châtel is surrounded by stunning scenery and numerous dog-friendly hiking trails. You can venture out together along forest paths, along the river following the ‘chemin des bords de Dranse’, or on the mountain pasture paths through the Vallée d'Abondance.
Remember to consult a map of the resort to identify places of interest. See our selection of accommodation:

Pets are also welcome in the resort's shops. Many restaurants and cafés allow dogs on their terraces, so you can enjoy local specialities such as fondue, tartiflette or Berthoud à l'Abondance with your pet by your side.

Before going on holiday to Châtel, make sure you have everything you need for your 4-legged friend: bowls, bed, toys, medication and up-to-date health record. You should also check local regulations regarding pets, particularly on ski slopes or in public areas. On the mountain pastures in summer, respect the work of the shepherds and keep your dogs close to you when the herds approach. Finally, don't forget to respect other holidaymakers and keep your dog on a lead in busy areas.
