🐕 PET POLICY

Historical pet-policy guidance.

Dogs are not permitted on ski lifts or pistes in the 4 Vallées. Thyon 2000 is a compact high-altitude station with limited dog-walking areas. The Thyon-Les Collons sector has some cleared paths. Being at 2,000m altitude, winter conditions are harsh for pets.

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.
