Enjoy an easy yet super fun day out by taking a ride in the panoramic lift up to the Bastion. Dogs ride for free.

Bring enough water for your dog, they need to drink more frequently in hot weather.
Pick up your dog poo and throw away bags in the appropriate bins. Use biodegradable bags . It’s a small ask but it makes a big difference!
Always keep your dog on a short lead, whether you’re in town or in the mountains. It is important to keep your dog safe when passing other animals.
A muzzle may be required in some places so make sure to bring one with you.
Plenty of museums, restaurants, and indoor facilities welcome dogs. Check online or pick up the phone before visiting.
