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
Fill up on fresh air and return home to a warm cosy room
One of the most beautiful things we have to offer in winter are our Tyrolean mountains and the snow-covered landscape. When you get a breath of fresh air with your four-legged friend and come home to a warm cosy room.
Once a week, we set off on a torchlight hike together followed by mulled wine.
You will also be spoiled with a fondue evening every Wednesday.
Winter hiking with a dog
Take a deep breath. Sniff the fresh air. Enjoy the sun and winter landscape in the Tyrolean mountains – on winter hikes with your dog. Whether on lightly snow-covered hiking trails in the valley or the high-altitude circular trail with far-reaching views.

Tobogganing fun for two- and four-legged friends
Your snack box is filled – with treats for your dog too, of course. Now it’s off to the tobogganing fun. Whether you climb the mountain on foot or take the “short link” with the gondola. Once you reach the top, the sun’s rays await you – and the stars at night. So you can hurtle down on two curves with a twinkle in your eye.

Have you hired our snowshoes? Is your Riederhof rucksack packed? Then you’re finally ready to start howling. To the most beautiful spots and secret places in the region. Either alone or in a group with our hiking guide Georg.
Whether sunshine or starry skies. The snowshoe hikes will put a sparkle in your eyes. And after your outdoor adventure, you can relax in the heated pool or work up a sweat in the sauna.
Guided lantern hike with howls
Dusk is falling. Many like-minded people meet up with their dogs in front of the dog hotel Riederhof. Our lights and LED torches bring light into the darkness. With your hiking guide Georg, you will walk along the Inn river through the marvellous winter landscape. After a hike peppered with stories, you will return to the hotel, where punch and mulled wine will be waiting for you by the campfire.

Experiencing husky sleigh ride
Howling, the huskies wait for the start. The adrenalin kicks in. The sledge starts to move. You feel completely free. You have no time to think and trust the huskies completely. The snow-covered winter landscape passes you by until you return to your home base after about 15 kilometres. After looking after the pack, you say goodbye and return home – with lots of experiences and a smile on your face.
