The Paznaun valley for dog lovers

Activities, accommodation, restaurants and more

Dogs are welcome all year round in Ischgl, Galtür, Kappl and See. The Paznaun Valley is considered a particularly dog-friendly valley: the pleasant high mountain climate is ideal for four-legged friends, which is why grazing animals also feel at home here in their natural environment. Whether hiking on marked trails or cross-country skiing on perfectly groomed trails, your dog can accompany you. Dog-friendly accommodation is available for restful nights, and selected restaurants will take good care of both you and your furry friend.

To ensure that you and your four-legged companion can enjoy your holiday in Paznaun without any worries, we ask you to observe a few important rules. Many hiking trails and cross-country ski trails run across private property and are only accessible with the consent of the landowners. Respectful coexistence between humans, animals and nature is therefore essential to ensure the long-term quality of the excellent network of hiking trails and cross-country ski trails.
