Wintry adventures with dogs
Activities for humans and four-legged friends in the snow
A winter vacation with your dog in the hut is a great opportunity to enjoy the cold days in the snow. A selection of activities that you can do in the mountains with your faithful companion:
Winter walks: A simple walk in the fresh snow can turn into a real winter adventure. Grab your dog's lead and wander through the winter landscape. Together you can explore the snow-covered forests and meadows around your hut, romp in the clear mountain air and play in the snow. Don't forget to bring warm clothes, thick gloves and waterproof boots for yourself and a blanket for your dog. See our packing list for your winter holiday to find out which other essentials you should pack for your time out in the mountains.
Snowshoe hikes: Snowshoeing is a great way to enjoy the tranquillity of untouched nature. Your dog will love trudging through the deep snow and sniffing the fresh air. Please check - even on winter hikes - whether there is a leash requirement on your chosen route. Wild animals must not be disturbed or even chased by your four-legged friend.
Cozy hours in the chalet with your dog: After a day full of outdoor activities, there's nothing better than warming up in a comfortable chalet. Many chalets in the Alps are dog-friendly and offer a cozy atmosphere. Outside, the snowflakes dance, inside the fire blazes in the fireplace. A cup of hot chocolate for you and plenty of cuddles for your dog. A wonderful opportunity to enjoy peace and quiet and each other's company!
On a winter vacation with a dog in a chalet, you can get away from it all, experience the beauty of winter in the Alps and relax with activities in the fresh air. Whether you opt for a long walk, a challenging snowshoe hike or just a few relaxing hours in the chalet: The memories you create together will stay with you for a long time to come. Pack your bags, grab your four-legged friend and immerse yourself in an unforgettable winter adventure!
Cozy Retreat: Why a Cabin is Perfect for Your Dog.
Want to escape the noise of the city and enjoy some time out in nature? Then a winter vacation in a cabin is the perfect choice - not only for you, but also for your dog!
Peace and space: There is peace and quiet in the hut. No traffic noise, no neighbors getting too close. Your dog will love it: Plenty of space to play and rest, romp around together in the snow or cuddle up. You can do both during a vacation in a chalet
Close to nature: Nature awaits right outside the door: snow-covered meadows and fields and mountains as far as the eye can see. Your dog is sure to love roaming through the woods and digging in the snow. And you? Breathe in the fresh air and forget the stresses of everyday life.
Give yourself and your four-legged friend some free time in the snow that you won't soon forget. Comfort, freedom, peace and nature - what more could you want?
