Walks with animals Dogs, horses and donkeys on the soundtrack Margériaz Aillons

Fancy a hike with a bit of style (and fur)? In the Bauges, set off in good company: a laid-back donkey, a lively dog or an elegant horse. Each animal brings its own pace, personality and a touch of soul to your walk.

It’s up to you to choose your walking companion!

Hiking is great. Hiking with animals is even better. In the Bauges Massif, the trails welcome companions with hooves, snouts or big ears for unique and enjoyable experiences.

Hikes with the animals of the Bauges

With a donkey: these tireless walkers carry your bags and bring a sparkle to children’s eyes. From day trips to multi-day treks, the adventure takes on the feel of a gentle, bucolic tale.

Dog-led hiking: team up with a Nordic dog and let its enthusiasm guide you. A sporty activity that sets the pace for your walk, ideal for those who love combining nature with a sense of adventure.

On horseback or pony-back: whether trotting gently or galloping towards the panoramic views, horse riding is another wonderful way to explore the Bauges. Family rides, leisurely treks or a full day on horseback – anything is possible.

Another way to discover the mountains

All these activities are supervised by passionate professionals who ensure the animals’ welfare and the safety of participants. A wonderful way to experience the mountains differently, forging a bond with nature and its inhabitants… on four legs.
