The Matterhorn catching the last light of the evening

Roch Escapes

Alpine

Mountain hotels under the great peaks, where your dog comes up the valley too.

The finest mountain hotels put the peaks in every window. These keep a place for the dog.

A great mountain hotel is a world of its own: the chalet under the summit, the fire after the last run, the meadows of high summer that open up when the snow goes. These are six of them, from the Matterhorn and the Dolomites to Switzerland, the Canadian Rockies and Aspen, each one chosen because your dog is received there in every season.
