A dog is part of the family—so naturally, they come along. At Hotel Alpin Juwel, that goes without saying: the Schwabl family manages this 4-star superior hotel in Hinterglemm personally, and four-legged companions are truly welcome guests.
The hotel is situated at roughly 1,100 metres above sea level on a sunny hillside above the village. That brings two clear benefits that make traveling with a dog effortless: crisp, cool mountain air even in midsummer, and scenic walking trails starting right at the front door. Your first walk of the day requires no car.
Upon arrival, your room is already fully prepared:
The pet fee covers room setup, amenities, and specialized final cleaning:
Please register your dog when booking so we can assign the ideal room category and prepare everything prior to your arrival.
Your dog is welcome to accompany you throughout the hotel grounds, across the rooftop terraces, and in all outdoor areas (on a leash). Dogs are also welcome to relax by your side during terrace dining.
In the JU-WELL Spa—with its pools, saunas, and relaxation zones—as well as inside the organic vital dining rooms, humans and dogs take a short break from one another: these areas remain reserved exclusively for two-legged guests. After an active mountain hike, this is usually the preferred option for dogs anyway, allowing them to rest in the cool room while you enjoy the sauna in peace.
Saalbach Hinterglemm features over 400 kilometres of marked trails, making it one of the premier hiking regions in the Salzburg Alps. Here are four classic tours well suited for dogs:
This scenic loop follows the Saalach river along wide gravel paths. The gradient is gentle, long stretches are shaded by trees, and the stream is easily accessible for drinking and cooling off. Around the Lindlingalm, rustic alpine huts with outdoor beer gardens welcome four-legged guests.
The Reiterkogel cable car takes you and your dog comfortably up the mountain (cable car rides are included with the JOKER CARD). At the top, you will find soft forest paths, expansive alpine pastures, and welcoming huts for a scenic rest. The route back down into the valley can be tailored flexibly in length.
The panoramic trail along the Pinzgauer Spaziergang stretches across open mountain ridges with sweeping vistas of the Kitzbühel Alps and the High Tauern range. It is long, scenic, and largely unshaded. Be sure to carry ample drinking water and a collapsible bowl, as natural streams are rare along the ridge.
For hot summer days, a short drive to Lake Zell is well worth the trip. Several designated lakeside areas allow dogs to swim in crystal-clear water; our reception team will point you toward current pet-friendly access points. A stroll along the shaded, flat shoreline path completes the afternoon.
