So winter
Your winter holiday with your dog in Ried and Tyrol
Leaving new tracks in the snow with four paws
What does winter at the Riederhof dog hotel have to offer? Phew, where should we start? Under the motto “You can do everything and don’t have to do anything”, you can experience a lot here in Tyrol: From skiing, snowshoeing, tobogganing and cross-country skiing to a husky sleigh ride with a howl. Or simply enjoy the snow-covered landscape – together with four paws and new tracks in the snow.
Three times a week you can take part in a winter or snowshoe hike. Including your four-legged friend, of course.
Skiing and Pow-WAU in Winterwonderland
It has just snowed. The snow glistens in your dog’s eyes. After breakfast, you set off on your piste adventures on the mountain – from Fendels, Serfaus, Fiss to Ladis.
While you powder down the deep snow slopes, your dog will make new friends during dog sitting. After an eventful winter day with a stop for refreshments, you return to the hotel. Your dog will be waiting for you there, wagging his tail and telling you all about the day’s impressions.
Tips for skiing:
- Ried-Fendels mountain railway
- Ski region Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis
- Nauders ski area on the Reschen Pass

You will also be spoiled with a fondue evening every Wednesday.

After looking after the pack, you say goodbye and return home – with lots of experiences and a smile on your face.
