How TrustPaws verifies a hotel
A TrustPaws badge means we’ve checked more than a “pets allowed” box. For every certified hotel, we verify:
- The real pet policy and any fees — exactly what you’ll pay, with no surprises at check-in.
- Which room types pets can actually stay in.
- The welcome amenities genuinely provided — beds, bowls, treats, kits.
- How genuinely the staff and grounds are set up for animals.
If a hotel hasn’t met the standard, it isn’t certified — simple as that.
Getting to & around the Alto Lario with a dog
Colico is the rail head: direct trains from Milan via Lecco stop here before continuing toward Chiavenna and Sondrio, putting the upper lake about ninety minutes from the city with a dog (rail pet rules apply). Seasonal ferries connect Colico, Gravedona and Domaso with the mid-lake; the standard Navigazione Laghi dog rules apply — lead max 1.5 m, muzzle to hand, small dogs free, larger at the reduced fare. By car, the Statale Regina runs the west shore; out of season it’s an easy drive, in July–August allow patience.
Best walks & places for dogs near Domaso, Gravedona & Colico
Colico has a dedicated dog beach where dogs can cool off properly — the upper lake’s answer to the equipped beaches further south (check current signage for season rules). Domaso’s long free shore of pebbles and grass is the area’s classic walk, quietest early and late; in high season keep to the leash and give bathers room. Behind Colico, the Pian di Spagna nature reserve spreads flat wetland paths with mountain walls on every side — dogs on a lead, and a birdwatcher’s hush appreciated. Gravedona’s old lanes and lakefront round off an evening loop.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a dog beach on upper Lake Como?
Yes — Colico has a dedicated dog beach, and the upper lake’s wide free shores at Domaso and Gravedona give leashed dogs space year-round. Check each comune’s current signage in high season.
Are dogs allowed on the upper-lake ferries?
On the seasonal ferries and catamarans yes — fixed lead max 1.5 m, muzzle to hand; small dogs under 50 cm free, larger dogs at the reduced fare; not on hydrofoils unless small and in a lap carrier.
Do hotels in the Alto Lario charge a pet fee?
It varies — every TrustPaws listing states the hotel’s exact, verified policy and fee before you book.
Can I walk in the Pian di Spagna reserve with my dog?
Yes, on a lead on the marked paths — it’s a protected wetland, so keep dogs out of the reed beds and water margins.
