🐕 PET POLICY

Historical pet-policy guidance.

Dogs are not permitted on ski lifts or slopes in the 4 Vallées area. Nendaz village has excellent walking paths including the Bisse de Chervé and Bisse Vieux trails that are partially maintained in winter. Several chalets and hotels accept dogs. The tourism office can recommend pet-friendly accommodations.

Confirm rooms, fees and access rules with the property or resort before you travel. A pet-friendly area does not mean pets can use ski slopes or lifts.
