Activities For Dogs In Switzerland

Miracle, an intimate and casual restaurant with outdoor seating in warm weather months is known for handmade pastas and pizzas. But of course, they put their spin on it and use Swiss meats and cheeses. Located in Zürich, they are well-known and pet-friendly, so your favorite pooch can go eat with you! Just remember to bring your dog's water and food bowls so you can share some of your dinner. It's the polite thing to do, after all. Oh, and be prepared: European casual dining isn't entirely casual. You still get pampered, you still get attentive staff, and you certainly get candlelight at night. It's moderately priced, so it's not outright cheap. Expect to spent roughly $18+ per meal.

Horburgpark is located in Basel, and is a public park with a fenced dog playing area. There's even dog friendly art sponsored by local artists. There are also two dog beaches along the Rhine where you and your dog can play Frisbee, throw the ball around, or just lounge together. In other words, if you've been looking for a park, beach, or otherwise artsy place to hang out with your dog, then Horburgpark is it. And you have the option to mingle with other dogs. No one is saying you have to, but it is nice if you've been looking to make friends.

The Glacier Express can charge upwards of $150+ so be prepared to splurge a bit on transportation with this activity. That being said, it is a great option for those trying to get to another destination within Switzerland, without really having to settle for overpriced taxis or car rentals. Depending on where you get on, and your destination, you could be on the Glacier Express for a few hours, or even days. In its totality, it's roughly 3 days across 291 bridges, through 91 tunnels, and across the Oberalp Pass at about 6,670 ft. above sea level. Dogs, cats, and other pets are allowed as long as they don't disturb other passengers.
