Hiking and dog-friendly holiday in Haute-Savoie with your dog

Nestled in the heart of the Giffre Valley, Chalet de Jo welcomes you to a secluded alpine haven , designed as a true escape from the everyday. You will stay in elegant and intimate chalets, carefully decorated, where every detail invites calm and relaxation.

Each chalet has its own private jacuzzi , accessible at any time, offering you moments of absolute relaxation every day, in complete freedom. A sauna is also available for unlimited use. This 100% dog-friendly location is surrounded by vast natural spaces, giving your dog the opportunity to explore, run, and unwind to the rhythm of the mountains. Here, everything is designed to help you slow down and reconnect with what truly matters.

Throughout your stay, you'll discover the natural treasures of Haute-Savoie , from gentle hikes to breathtaking panoramas. The Cirque du Fer à Cheval, Lac de Gers , and the unspoiled trails of the Giffre Valley will offer moments of pure connection, to be shared with your dog. After exertion, relaxation takes on its full meaning: each evening ends with moments of well-being in your private jacuzzi, allowing you to release tension and savor the moment. The chalet's outdoor spaces are also ideal for practicing Doga , in a serene setting, enveloped by the silence of the mountains and the soothing energy of nature. A stay designed to disconnect from everything except what truly matters.

Each chalet has been designed to offer an authentic and refined setting, where wood, stone, and natural materials blend to create a warm and soothing atmosphere, imbued with the spirit of the mountains. Far from standardized accommodations, every detail has been carefully chosen to evoke the beauty of the valley and allow everyone to fully recharge.

The three chalets on the site – Chalet de Jo, La Remise and Le Mazot – have a comfortable area, with individual bedrooms, perfect for accommodating a human & dog duo or a couple and their four-legged companion.

Each chalet has its own fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom with separate WC, guaranteeing total comfort and privacy.

To complete this premium experience, each chalet has a private jacuzzi , usable without time limits, offering moments of total relaxation facing the surrounding peaks and pastures.

The shared bubble sauna, accessible to all three chalets, completes the wellness area, offering moments for both group and private use in a relaxing and cozy atmosphere. Since recent renovations, pellet stoves and underfloor heating provide gentle, enveloping warmth, allowing guests to fully enjoy mountain comfort, even in the depths of winter, while remaining close to nature and the Savoyard spirit.

Conceived as a true immersion in the Alpine lifestyle , the wellness area at Chalet de Jo offers a rare, intimate, and profoundly restorative experience. Facing the iconic summit of the Criou , three exceptional chalets—Chalet de Jo, La Remise, and Le Mazot—stand opposite each other in a pristine setting steeped in history and authenticity. Each chalet has its own private jacuzzi, freely accessible without time limits, allowing you to relax each day at your own pace, in complete privacy, soothed by the silence of the mountains and the beauty of the surrounding landscapes.

Nestled in this natural haven, a large bubble sauna completes the experience, offering a moment of enveloping warmth with views of the surrounding pastures and peaks. The buildings, carefully restored former Savoyard farmhouses, have retained their original architecture and period materials, blending aged wood, traditional structures, and contemporary comfort worthy of a high-end guesthouse. Every detail has been considered with respect for the environment, preserving the delicate balance between well-being, nature, and sustainability.

Here, relaxation takes on its full meaning. You slow down, you breathe, you let yourself be immersed in the spirit of the mountains. Between hikes or Doga sessions, moments of relaxation become precious rituals, to be shared or savored alone, far from the hustle and bustle.

During your stay, dining is designed as a moment of pleasure, sharing, and authenticity , perfectly in keeping with the nature-focused, wellness-oriented, and convivial atmosphere of the experience. Each morning, you will enjoy a generous continental breakfast , carefully prepared by Florence and Joël, passionate former restaurateurs . Breads, jams, hot drinks, and quality products will allow you to start your day gently, with views of the Alpine landscapes.

For meals, Florence and Joël offer simple, comforting cuisine deeply rooted in Savoyard culture. Throughout your stay, you'll enjoy iconic regional dishes such as tartiflette and Savoyard fondue , shared in a warm and authentic atmosphere. For hiking days, everything is provided so you can easily prepare your own sandwiches and picnics to take with you and fully enjoy your breaks in nature, without any constraints.

Vegetarian options are available; please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions or allergies so that we can prepare suitable meals.

The catering is designed to free you from all planning and allow you to savor every moment, while respecting the rhythm of your stay and moments of relaxation.
