The Paznaun valley for dog lovers

Activities, accommodation, restaurants and more

Would you like to spend your holiday with your dog and are looking for a region where four-legged friends are always welcome? In Paznaun, especially in Ischgl, Galtür, Kappl and See, this is no problem at all. The valley is considered particularly dog-friendly: the pleasant high mountain climate is ideal for dogs, but grazing animals also feel at home here in their natural environment.

Whether hiking on well-marked trails or enjoying other activities, your dog will naturally accompany you. What activities are possible for you and your four-legged friend? Where can your dog travel on mountain railways or public transport?

On this page, you can find out everything you need to know about travelling with dogs on public transport and mountain railways, information about leash laws and dog walking rules, exciting activities for dogs and the best places to stop for refreshments that welcome you and your four-legged friend.

Dog stations for collecting and disposing of dog waste bags

We love dogs – but not their waste. That's why we have set up an extensive dog walking system in Paznaun along the hiking trails and cross-country ski trails to prevent pollution of the pasture areas. Help keep the hiking trails and cross-country ski trails clean and dispose of your dog's waste.

Penalties for not keeping dogs on a leash: In the areas listed below, dogs must be kept on a leash without exception, even for very well-behaved and small dogs. Negligence can cost dog owners up to €500.

Dog faeces: However, if a pile is left behind, a fine of up to €2,000 may be imposed. The obligation to pick up dog faeces applies always and everywhere!

Please note that dogs must be kept on a leash in the areas marked in red in the following images.

1. Old valley path – starting at the municipal boundary with Ischgl and continuing to the Ulmicher Säge municipal road
2. Winter hiking trail – starting in Nederle and continuing out of the valley to Brandau and the municipal boundary lake
