Paws & Peaks

Dog-Friendly Retreats in Zermatt

A welcoming, cosy retreat in the mountains — gentle trails, shared meals, wagging tails, and the simple joy of spending time together with your Cavalier in beautiful Zermatt. It’s also a special weekend for anyone who would love to capture beautiful memories. A professional mountain photographer will be with us to create portraits of you and your Cavalier — photos that truly shine against the backdrop of the Matterhorn, and that you’ll treasure forever.

  • This retreat is for anyone who loves their Cavalier(s) and wants to spend a cosy, culinary and heartwarming weekend in the mountains.
    It’s perfect for people who enjoy gentle walks, good food, relaxed moments, and meeting other kind cavalier-loving humans. No special fitness or hiking experience needed — just a love for nature and your four-legged companion.

  • Because Zermatt feels like a small alpine world made for moments of joy - a place for you and your four-legged companion(s).
    The quiet trails, the charming restaurants, the warm village atmosphere, and the ever-present Matterhorn create an environment where life slows down and connection becomes easy — for humans and dogs alike.

  • The Cloud9 Matterhorn Cavalier Retreat is designed to be warm, gentle, and joyful — with plenty of time outdoors, cosy meals, relaxed moments, and opportunities to connect with other Cavalier families.  

  • Because Cloud9 creates retreats that feel warm, personal, and full of heart. Every moment is designed so both you and your Cavalier feel welcome, relaxed, and cared for. Cloud9’s founder, Sarah, is a Cavalier lover herself — which means this retreat isn’t just an idea, but a true heart project. She understands the bond, the sweetness, the little quirks, and the joy these dogs bring. And she has shaped every detail with that same love. With local knowledge of Zermatt, Cloud9 chooses the most dog-friendly trails, the cosiest restaurants, and the viewpoints that turn simple moments into beautiful memories — always with the Matterhorn watching over you. It’s a retreat created with kindness, care, and the simple joy of spending meaningful time together in the mountains.
