Description:

In the Alps, dogs are much more than companion animals. They fill vital roles supporting the work of humans – guarding animals in summer pastures and on farms, searching through avalanche debris for victims, and rescuing hikers and climbers in the high mountains.

Over the years, we’ve noticed how many of our guests adore dogs and love to see how they are a key part of life in the Alps. We feel the same way! So, we decided to create a trail running tour featuring our favorite dog friends here in the Alps. On this special first edition tour we’ll learn about the important roles dogs play in these mountains, and how they are trained for their unique lives of work and companionship. This point-to-point tour intersects with locations in the Alps that have a connection with mountain dogs.
