Dogs
We couldn't find any published dog rules for this place. Around Morzine most places with known rules ask for a lead, especially near herds in summer, so check the signs. In France a dog counts as straying if it's out of earshot or more than 100 m from you.
You're responsible for your dog. Before you let it off the lead, read the signs at the entrance, look out for livestock and roads, and make sure it will come back when called.
Watch out for
- Now: It's hunting season (September to February). Driven shoots (battues) take place in the woods: look for "Chasse en cours" signs, keep your dog close, and a hi-vis vest helps.
- From 15 April to 30 June, French law says dogs in woods and forests must be on a lead whenever they're off the main forest tracks.
- From June to September cattle and sheep graze the high pastures, and flocks may be guarded by big white dogs (patous). Put your dog on a lead and go round them.
- Now: Paths above about 1,500 m can be snowy or icy from November to May. This walk goes up to about 1,662 m.
- Mountain rivers are cold and fast, and can rise quickly after storms or when dams release water. Keep your dog out of strong currents.
- Livestock graze here. Put your dog on a lead near them.
