2. Parc de Merlet
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 722 reviews
Perched at an altitude of 1,500 m above the valley of Chamonix, the Animal Park offers a breath-taking panorama of the Mont-blanc mountain range. Merlet Park invites you to immerse yourself in a vast space dedicated to animals for a leisurely hike through the forest and sunny meadows, discovering several ancient traditional mountain chalets along the way. The unusual closeness with many animals is surprising and would nearly make you forget that they actually live in the wild.

A lovely stop on our trip to Chamonix and well worth the detour! Gorgeous location not too far off from the highway, but still feels tucked away and calm. Would suggest coming by car and to definitely check the hours before you come. However, if you do not speak French well, this is probably not the stop for you. The owners are knowledgable, patient, and clearly very passionate about their dogs. They opened their sanctuary to visitors to help fund their passion instead of forcing their dogs to breed like machines just for the business of selling puppies (hence why you may not necessarily see puppies during your visit). An interesting summary of the history of the breed, their individual personalities, how they select potential buyers of their puppies, long-haired vs short-haired Saint Bernards, etc. given by the gentleman who toured us around the enclosures. The enclosures were spacious enough and the dogs are let out on a daily basis (just not necessarily when visitors are around). Many very interesting anecdotes of their experiences with breeding over the years. Reading the other comments, I'm not sure either why other visitors expected this to be some sort of free-for-all petting zoo. We loved seeing and learning about all of the dogs and were very happy to have been able to interact with/pet a very well-behaved female dog named Fiz at the end of the tour who was clearly comfortable with visitors and an excellent 'ambassador!' No need to touch every single one, and certainly no sense of exploitation by their owners. So impressed with how docile, friendly, and intelligent the breed is - I learned so much!
