This month's Geneva Hiking with Dogs took place in Bois de la Bâtie with 7 lively dogs!
All in Picnic
Accrobranche in Parc des Evaux - Geneva
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.
Summer Fun in La Flaine, France
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.
Pony Ride and Adventure Park at Les Carroz
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!
Upgraded Bois de la Bâtie, Revisited
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.
Wandering Amongst Cats in Geneva
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.
Family-Friendly Holiday in Megéve, France
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.
Swiss Vapeur Park- Le Bouveret, Valais
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!
Organic Adventure Park, Champéry, Valais
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.
Geneva Hiking with Dogs - February 2021 - Col de Marchairuz, VD
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.
Loop walk around Lac de Tanay
An extremely scenic hike in Valais around Lac de Tanay. It requires stamina and strength if you have to carry your children but if you’re up for it, it’s definitely worth it!
Pony Ride in Les Carroz, FR - Centre Equestre du Lays
A great option for a day trip from Geneva or holiday in this wonderful Summer and Ski Resort, less than an hour’s drive away down the Autoroute Blanche!
Arboretum du Vallon de l'Aubonne
A wonderful corner of Vaud for a outing as a family. Butterflies in the flowers, an owl hidden in a tree trunk and big fish in the pond welcome the kids for a fun day in nature!
Loop walk across the top of the Salève
An impromptu walk across the top of the Salève in neighbouring France was surprisingly lovely. Highly recommended half day itinerary that can be adapted to every family!
Snow hike and sledging at the Nordic Skiing Centre Agy, France
A small but perfectly designed Nordic Ski resort which has something for every one, especially when there is snow!
Fête de la Musique, Geneva
A yearly celebration of music taking place across central Geneva. This year we attended with Miya, our latest addition to the family.
Pony Ride at La Gavotte Farm
Back at the awesome Gavotte farm for a joint 2nd birthday picnic and pony ride with Kai’s friends
Caves Ouvertes at Chateau du Crest, Jussy
Our yearly visit to this domaine for Caves Ouvertes, and this year it’s bigger and better for families!
Geneva City Walks - Ferme de Val D'Arve
A small little farm near Carouge, also a nice place to walk your dog!
Riverside Walk along the Arve, Gaillard, France
A riverside walk in Neighbouring France, sure to please your babies both the furry and fur-less kind!
