Reading this you'd wonder why anyone ever goes skiing in France and why this has never been raised before.
I know that they don't care about cleaning up after their dogs like we allegedly do (there's some pretty irresponsible people over here too) but it's not a case of dodging-the-do really.
I personally have been lucky and haven't seen it on the slopes. It might be because I've not stayed slopeside except in Les Saisies where the other people were mostly Belgian, so presumably didn't bring dogs because of the distance.
Don't let it put you off altogether Emma.
I can't believe you can get accommodation that allows dogs to be honest.... Perhaps if it belongs to you you can do what you like.

I've never been skiing in France (yet) but if it's as bad as some say, I simply won't go there again.
They'll soon sort the problem if people stop skiing.

Its not that bad. There are some nice places in France to ski but I have to confess I have seen dogs weing on the slopes in France. I used to think it was just boarders who did that.
