To make the trip unforgettable and stress-free for you and your four-legged friend, we have put together some information for you and ask you to take note of it.
When you make your booking, please let us know the breed and weight of your dog, we will then book the hotels and confirm accommodation in all hotels.
The costs for the dog are to be paid directly at the respective accommodation!
Very few hotels allow your dog in bed with you, so please take your hosts’ wishes into account! In addition, in many hotels dogs are not allowed in the dining room. Please allow for the fact that your dog will have to stay alone in the room during this time. Not all four-legged friends can cope with this in an unfamiliar environment!
The participating dog is healthy, vaccinated (rabies) and has liability insurance (pet owner liability).
The dog must be chipped. Please ask your vet for further details.
Each participant bears sole responsibility and liability for himself and his dog in all situations. Participation is at your own risk.
Please bring and use sufficient dog waste bags. Your four-legged friend’s droppings must be removed wherever someone might step in them.
With regard to the obligation to keep dogs on a lead, everyone is obliged to comply with the regulations of the respective countries.
In Austria, dogs must wear a muzzle when traveling by boat, train or bus!
The participating dog must be socially acceptable. It should only move within its owner’s sphere of influence and be easy to call off. Dogs must be kept on a lead in the hut, café or beer garden.
With several dogs, the following situations could be triggers for stressful situations and should therefore be avoided:
Please note that the nature and characteristics of the paths in the Alps are different to what your dog may be used to: the paths have a lot of gravel and stones, which are very chalky. Your dog’s paws may not be able to cope with this during the multi-day hike.
There are also sections of hikes where little or no water is available along the way (e.g. day 2 of the Tegernsee-Sterzing Alpine crossing!). Make sure you plan for this and bring enough water for you AND your dog!
Please also bear in mind that your dog should be used to walking long distances over several days (without a day’s rest). Dogs usually walk twice the distance compared to you.
Please note that it is only possible to take dogs with you to a limited extent or not at all during peak times (07:00–09:00).
In the case of oncoming riders, dogs on a lead, people and cyclists, animals, etc., the dogs are taken “at heel” or put on a lead in good time without being asked. The interaction should be characterized by mutual trust and consideration: Young dogs can only participate from the age of approx. 1 year. Bitches in heat cannot take part.
Young dogs are often not yet accustomed to encounters with large animals in the wild and react uncontrollably. You should therefore not get too close to grazing animals and especially not pet or feed calves! If a herd is showing signs of restlessness or if hikers are already being pinned down by animals, keep your distance! It is better to take a detour than to come into direct conflict with a cow! If a dangerous situation nevertheless arises: Keep calm and don’t run away! In an absolute emergency, hit the cow on the nose with a stick. Otherwise, walk slowly and steadily out of the danger zone without turning your back on the animals. This is the only correct way to deal with a dangerous encounter.
At Feuer und Eis Touristik you can also “hike” a large number of the tours with your dog.
