Holidays with a dog in the mountains
Experience nature. Relax together.

A holiday with your dog in Damüls at 1,580 metres

Your four-legged friends are very welcome

At the Alpenstern, your holiday with your dog gets off to a smooth start. Nature begins right on your doorstep – with short walks, crisp mountain air and plenty of space for those first steps together.

Damüls in the Bregenzerwald is regarded as a peaceful mountain region in Vorarlberg, where active pursuits and a slower pace of life go hand in hand.

Walks & going for a walk

Not every holiday with a dog needs long tours. It's often the small routes that structure the day.

Paths that simply arise

Short paths lead to meadows, woodland and quiet natural areas around Damüls. Ideal for spontaneous walks in the morning, after a meal or in between.

The surrounding area offers a well-branched network of walking and hiking trails. Depending on your mood and the weather, short or longer routes can be flexibly combined.

Leashes are compulsory in grazing areas during the summer months. Please also show consideration for alpine farming and grazing animals. Keep your distance and keep your dog on a lead. If attacked by an animal, put your dog on a lead immediately.

Selected rooms for guests with dogs

Dog-friendly living

Your dog is a welcome guest at the Alpenstern. We charge a daily fee for your dog. Please note that dogs are not permitted in the restaurant or in the wellness areas. Please let us know when you would like us to clean the room so that your dog can rest undisturbed.

At the Alpenstern, dogs are welcome in selected room categories. Out of consideration for guests with allergies, not all rooms are designated for dogs – to ensure a pleasant stay for all guests.
