Holidays with your four-legged friend
Huts, chalets and holiday apartments in Tyrol and all of Austria where your dog is expressly welcome – all personally visited, with clear answers to the questions dog people ask: What does the dog cost? Is the garden fenced? And is he allowed in the pond?
Every day we show you three different places from our selection – from the rustic secluded mountain hut to the chalet with a fenced garden. All personally visited, all with clear answers on fencing, grazing livestock and dog fees. All matching huts are listed further down.
Clarified beforehand, relaxed on arrival
Dog-friendly means for us: we know the details – and clarify them for you with the host before you book:
Well prepared
On alpine trails you will meet cows, sheep or horses. With a little distance and the dog on a short lead this stays relaxed for everyone – in the alpine summer that means: lead within reach, stay calm, never let grazing livestock come between you and your dog.
Plan the hikes with your dog according to his fitness, his age and the temperature – that way every tour stays a pleasure for both of you. Water always belongs in the backpack, so you are well supplied even where no stream is flowing.
Travelling from abroad? What applies for the pet passport and vaccinations is stated in the official EU travel information for pets.

Mountain hut
In a rustic mountain hut or alpine hut your dog is often freer than anywhere else – no neighbour behind the wall, meadows and forests right outside the door, room to romp in summer and winter alike. Good to know: in summer grazing livestock roams the alpine meadows – there you simply put your dog on the lead. And where the garden is fenced, we tell you beforehand.
That is exactly what we are here for: we know every hut ourselves and tell you honestly before booking where the garden is closed, where cows graze and which mountain hut suits you and your dog.
A hut holiday in Austria with your dog means meadows outside the door, nature all around and views of the surrounding mountains. You will find huts from 760 to 1,880 m above sea level with us – and dogs are warmly welcome.
The Zarze Almhütte at 1,880 m in the Hohe Tauern National Park: 30 m², entirely on its own, with room for your dog to roam. The Pietschacher Almhütte at 1,700 m in the Nockberge Biosphere Park in Carinthia has 100 m² of living space and in winter sits right on the ski slope.
The Artliebhütte and the Oberbrixen Hütte at 960 m in the Salzburger Land: 120 m² each, plenty of room for six people and two dogs. The Breitberg Alm at 1,100 m in the Zillertal is yours alone, for groups of up to ten with up to three dogs and a tiled stove in the parlour. In the Mostviertel you have the Abenteurer-Hütte at around 1,000 m and the Mühlenhütte by its private pond at 760 m.
The Kochhäusl alone on a meadow on the Wattenberg with a wood stove in the parlour, the Waldhüttl, almost on its own, and the Alpenrehblick on the Vomperberg: dog holidays in the Alps of Tyrol. Plus the holiday apartments Waldsicht and Pferdeheimat in Gnadenwald with a large garden by the forest.
Every one of these huts is a place where your four-legged friend comes along – for an unforgettable holiday with your dog. How many dogs may come is noted for each hut. You book through urlaubshuetten.com, and we pass your request to real hosts.
By type and region
No two huts are alike. So that you quickly find what suits you, we have sorted the dog-friendly huts, chalets and holiday apartments by type – with location, number of guests and what your dog especially likes there.
On the mountain, reachable by car, with hot water – and in a secluded location. Here your dog has lots of room and you have your peace.
If you want to go higher up: alpine meadows from the door, a tiled stove in the evening and mountains all around – from the Zillertal to the Hohe Tauern.
Comfortable and family-friendly – with a garden, balcony or farm animals next door. Good for everyone who likes it cosy.
Chalet comfort on the mountain is also offered by the Oberbrixen Hütte and the Berghütte Artlieb: 120 m², sauna and hot pot – dogs expressly welcome.
For dogs that love to swim and sniff: private pond, forest all around and no neighbours.
Most of our dog-friendly places are in Tyrol: holiday apartments on a farm in Gnadenwald by the Karwendel, and huts with forest and meadows at the door from the Karwendel through the Zillertal to East Tyrol. For each one we tell you beforehand what the dog costs and how much room there is to run. More about the region: Tyrol.

For all of them we tell you beforehand what is charged per dog and night, whether the garden is fenced and where the nearest meadow for running starts.

Long trails off the lead, streams to cool off and shade at the forest edge. In summer what matters most is that there is a cool spot.
Discover summer →Short loops in the snow, then a warm place by the stove. Look out for a cleared access road and a dry spot for wet paws.
Discover winter →Not decided yet? Here are all huts, chalets and holiday homes for your holiday with a dog in Austria – with number of guests, rooms and what counts for both of you.
A holiday with your dog works best where the dog is really welcome: in a rustic alpine cabin with the forest at the door, in a spacious holiday home with a fenced garden, in a comfortable chalet or a lodge in the Kleinwalsertal in Vorarlberg. Our dog friendly cottages and chalets in Austria are personally visited, and what applies for your dog – fence, farm animals, dog fee – is stated with every accommodation.
Holidays in the Alps with your dog are easiest in summer: forests and meadows to explore, a stream or the private pond of the Mühlenhütte to swim in, hiking trails from the door and cable cars that take dogs up the mountain. Plenty of space, peace and quiet and stunning views – a relaxing holiday for both of you.
A winter holiday with dog is lovely too: the ski resorts of Tyrol, Salzburg and Carinthia are close to our huts – one goes skiing, one takes the dog for a winter walk in the snow, and in the evening everyone sits by the wood stove. The Pietschacher Almhütte in the Nockberge even has the piste in front of the door, sauna and wellness area included.
Tyrol, Salzburg, Carinthia, East Tyrol and Lower Austria – our holiday regions with dog friendly accommodation cover the Austrian Alps from the Karwendel to the Nockberge. Tell us what kind of dog is coming along and whether you prefer seclusion or a farm with hosts next door. We know every house personally and tell you honestly where your dog has space to explore.
