Caring for your dog in Lausanne

Lausanne-specific tips every dog owner should know

Steep Hills

Lausanne is very hilly. Consider your dog's fitness for uphill walks, especially in warm weather.

The Lavaux vineyards east of Lausanne are UNESCO-listed. Dogs must be leashed on vineyard paths.

Lake Swimming

Lac Leman is clean but cold. Supervise dogs and choose calm, shallow entry points for swimming.
