Winter hiking with your dog – salt-free paths
With over 300 km of groomed winter hiking trails across meadows and forests in Ramsau am Dachstein, our hotel is the ideal starting point for winter hikes with your dog. Three times a week, we also offer guided winter hikes with dogs – one of which takes place at night.
The trails do not lead over salted roads, so your four-legged friend's paws are protected. After a varied walk, you can borrow a dog bathrobe free of charge if you want to give your dog a shower. And if your four-legged friend wants to go out again in the evening, there is a torch available to borrow free of charge.

- On hot days or lengthy climbs, give your dog regular short breaks.
- Make sure your dog has plenty to drink.
