Tignes in summer with your dog

Are dogs allowed in the Vanoise National Park and Nature Reserves?

• From Tignes les Brévières, a “balcony” trail takes you to the villages of La Savinaz and La Gurraz and back.
• La Via Alpina” between Tignes 1800 and Tignes le Lac with magnificent views of Lac du Chevril
• The Bois de la Laye with a loop via the Croix de Combefolle, or via the Daille for the more athletic.
• The Chardonnet lakes from Tignes 2100 to admire the high altitude lakes
• Les chalets de Nazonde via the many paths in the heart of the Bois de la Balme (departure from Les Brévières, from the parking lot at the Brévières tunnel or from Le Chevril)

Outside protected areas, dogs can swim in the lakes. However, please respect the peace and quiet of fishermen if they are present.

In summer, the Tovière gondola is open to dogs on a leash. Numerous hikes are accessible from the summit. These itineraries cross or run alongside the Bike Park trails, so we strongly advise you to keep your dogs on a leash to avoid any collisions.

Dogs are allowed on the funicular. They can accompany you up to the Panoramic terrace, but must remain in the vicinity of the buildings, as the area is in the heart of the Vanoise National Park and Champagny Nature Reserve. The descent must therefore take place via the funicular.

In the heart of the resort (village, tour du lac…), your dog must be kept on a leash.

In the wild, outside protected areas, there is no obligation to keep your dog on a leash. However, in view of the presence of herds and wild animals, we strongly advise you to keep your dog on a leash so as not to disturb local wildlife and pastoral life.

Even small, friendly, well-trained dogs are totally forbidden in the Vanoise National Park and Champagny Nature Reserve. They are permitted in the Grande Sassière reserve, but must be kept on a leash at all times.
