Holidays with dogs

Holidays in PillerseeTal, where pets are also welcome

Holidays with dogs? No problem in PillerseeTal. Numerous landlords in the region warmly welcome you and your four-legged friends. Endless hiking trails across Alpine meadows and over hedge and ditch are waiting to be discovered. Cool mountain streams bring welcome refreshment on hot summer days.

Information on the topics of hiking, behaviour with grazing animals or cooling off in bodies of water can be found in the dog flyer, which you can obtain from your landlord or the tourist offices or download HERE.

Dog dirt disposal

  • checkIt is the duty of each and every owner to dispose of the dog dirt. Numerous bag dispensers are available for this along the hiking and footpaths.

  • checkWhy? Dog dirt contains bacteria, which make the hey unusable and the cows sick. It is also a messy souvenir on every shoe sole!

  • checkIn winter, too, dog dirt must be removed to avoid unnecessary clean-up efforts in spring.

Obligation to keep dogs on a lead

  • checkDogs must be kept on a lead in the PillerseeTal region.

  • checkThis applies to all public (hiking) trails and roads.

  • checkDogs must also be kept on a lead on buses, trains and mountain railways.

  • checkLeashes are available at Pam's Pfotenladl (Waidring) or at Fressnapf (St. Johann i. T.)

Muzzles compulsory in public transport

  • checkMuzzles are compulsory on buses, trains and mountain railways.

  • checkMuzzles are available cheaply from Pam's Pfotenladl (Waidring) or Fressnapf (St. Johann i. T.)

Here, pets are welcome

Out and about by bus, train and cable car

Of course, dogs can also travel on public transport and the cable cars of the region, but leashes and muzzles are mandatory and that for dogs both big and small. Please make sure that other passengers are not bothered or inconvenienced by your pet and that your dog does not damage anything.

Out and about on the mountain with the dog

Being out and about with your dog in the great outdoors is not only fun, but also decidedly healthy. Generally, you can use all hiking and footpaths in PillerseeTal with your dog. Please note, however, that leashes are mandatory throughout the region and the hiking trails are of course also used by other nature lovers. But if everyone keeps to the rules, there is nothing in the way of everyone getting along!

To keep in mind:

  • checkMuzzles mandatory on cable cars, buses or trains

  • checkLeashes mandatory on all hiking trails

  • checkMountain streams make for great refreshment on hot summer days - for dogs and owners. Please note that not all swimming lakes and waters are allowed for dogs.

  • checkStaying overnight in lodges: Please ask the respective lodge landlord first whether sleeping places are available for your dog. In the dormitory, dogs are strictly taboo.

Proper conduct when encountering Alpine cattle

Confrontations between dogs and grazing cattle are always possible in pasture regions. Here we have briefly summarised what to do in an emergency:

  • If the animal is approaching: Keep calm, do not turn your back and slowly leave the grazing grounds.
  • Take the leash off your dog or let go of the leash if you think the cow is about to attack!
  • In absolute emergencies hit the cow on the nose with a purposeful blow from your hiking pole.

Dog-friendly swimming lakes & waters

On hot summer days, it’s tempting to cool of in the refreshing waters. At Pillersee in St. Ulrich am Pillersee four-legged friends are also welcome and can cool off in the around 18° cool water. The numerous mountain streams also beckon to cool off during a walk or a mountain tour. The other swimming lakes in the region are unfortunately not open to dogs.

Here, dogs are a welcome guests:

  • checkPillersee in St. Ulrich am Pillersee (only on the leash, NOT in the swimming area!)

  • checkWiesensee in Hochfilzen (on the leash)

  • checkWaldbad Gieringer pond in Kitzbühel

  • checkWalchsee (separate dog beach on the eastern shore)
