The recently opened Les Halles de la Jonction is a gem in the centre of Geneva! A must visit for active families.

This month's Geneva Hiking with Dogs took place in Bois de la Bâtie with 7 lively dogs!
If you are a foodie, then check out the Geneva Food Festival which comes to Plainpalais every year! The selection of food seems to grow every year, so there will be something to satisfy everybody’s taste buds!
After a long hiatus, Geneva Hiking with Dogs is back! This time in Versoix, and everyone had great fun, dogs and humans alike.
A great itinerary for active families looking for something fun for children and with the bonus of a lovely restaurant right next door! Check it out on your next sunny weekend or Bank Holiday.
La Flaine is a ski resort connected to Les Carroz and is the highest altitude resort of the Grand Massif. It’s a very popular resort during the winter season amongst the Genevois for this reason during the winter but it also has a lot to offer during the summer season! I highly recommend spending some time in La Flaine for a fun day for the whole family.
Now the both of the kids are old enough (youngest is 3 years old), we are revisiting the Mont Favy forest in Les Carroz where there is an Adventure Park and Pony rides to be enjoyed. It makes for a great few hours of outing with young or slightly older children and a forest for your furry friend to enjoy himself!
We’re back with another edition of hiking with dogs this month. Due to fawning season restrictions, I opted for Bois de la Bâtie which is a leash-free zone year-round. It’s a great walk with nice views of the junction of the Arve and Rhone rivers, beaches for the dogs to swim and a nice varied walk.
We’re back for the Plainpalais Easter egg hunt organised by the Maison de Quartier. The kids are a little older now and had lots of fun! We started from Villa Freunder in Plainpalais at 9am, and reconvened here at 10am for breakfast.
A festival for chocolate lovers! It might be toxic for your doggies, but they are welcome here and the kids are sure to enjoy the event! This year’s event was the 16th edition of this event celebrating all things chocolate.
The newly upgraded Bois de la Bâtie is a real gem, a must-visit on a sunny day. There’s Geneva’s biggest playground, paddling pool, animal park, dog park and buvette all in one place! Even if you live out of town, it’s worth a visit.
A detailed look at why you should care about maintaining your dog’s nails, how short they should be and how to help them be comfortable with nail trims.
In this post I talk about all the things that goes on “behind the scenes” of owning and maintaining a healthy and happy dog. Everything from nail trimming to nutrition, I share with you my approach and philosophy on doggy healthcare and maintenance.
A fun and light hearted open air exhibition along the lake in Geneva. A nice excuse to come down to the Geneva lake front on a sunny day.
Megève is in easy reach from Geneva and a wonderful spot for a family day trip or getaway. Being in France, of course it’s dog-friendly too and plenty of trails to explore for the whole family. I share with you a few of the walks and activities we did during our stay here.
A wonderful find for all locomotive lovers! They are dog-friendly too and your fur kids can board the train that takes you up to the museum for free!
We finally had the chance to make a stop at this wonderful park near Montreux, and happened to come over Easter break so there was an egg hunt organised. It was a fun way to spend the morning, topped off with a picnic with a view on the lakefront afterwards!
This place is an absolute must-visit if you are an adventure-loving, thrill-seeking family! Dogs are welcome too, but must be kept on a leash.
A wonderful haven for families with children and dogs, in Valais! We will definitely be going back.
After a long hiatus, I decided to organise a big hike a little further afield from Geneva in Gimel, Vaud. The sun turned up for the occasion and even though the Spring snow made the hike slightly challenging in sections, it was nice to be outdoors with likeminded friends, enjoying the nature with our four-legged companions.
