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.
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!
