Hello, I'm Chrissie

And this is Abby — my Australian Shepherd and chief trail tester. We are based in the Geneva area, exploring the best dog-friendly corners of Romandy and the Swiss Alps. Every trail, park, and fountain on AbbysMap has been personally sniffed, walked, and rated by Abby herself to ensure it’s safe and fun for high-energy dogs.

Why Abby's Map?

Navigating Swiss leash laws and finding truly off-leash hiking routes can be a challenge. Being a meticulous planner, I always find it a pain to check where to take Abby. I created this space to share our experience with the Swiss outdoors community.

What you'll find

  • Trails — Detailed guides for routes around Geneva, Vaud, and beyond, focusing on safety and off-leash freedom.
  • Gear — Honest reviews of the dog gear we actually use and trust on the trail.
  • Blog — Practical advice on navigating Swiss local regulations and stories from our latest adventures.

If you have a dog and love the outdoors in Switzerland, you're in the right place.
