at the GRAND HOTEL ZELL AM SEE
A holiday with your dog in Zell am See means spending precious time together surrounded by lake, mountains and nature. At the GRAND HOTEL ZELL AM SEE, your four-legged companion is warmly welcome. Our unique location on a private peninsula directly on Lake Zell provides the perfect setting for relaxing walks by the water, hikes in the mountains and memorable experiences together. And in late summer and autumn, your dog even stays with us free of charge.
Dog-Friendly Hotel Directly on Lake Zell
Simply step outside and start exploring together: the GRAND HOTEL ZELL AM SEE is located directly on Lake Zell on a private peninsula. This means that walks with your dog can begin right outside the hotel.
Numerous walking routes and excursions around Lake Zell are waiting to be discovered together. Whether you prefer a relaxing walk along the lakeshore or an active day in the mountains, Zell am See-Kaprun offers a wonderful combination of holidays by the water and adventures in the Austrian Alps.
We want your dog to feel welcome from the moment you arrive. That is why we provide a dog welcome package including a welcome treat, food and water bowls, a cozy dog blanket and a comfortable dog bed.
Enjoy Breakfast & Dinner Together
A holiday is about spending time together – and naturally, that includes your four-legged companion.
We have a separate cozy dining room where your dog is welcome to join you for breakfast and dinner. This means you do not have to leave your four-legged friend alone in your room while you dine.
Dogs are also welcome on our lakeside terraces directly on Lake Zell. Enjoy coffee and cake in the afternoon, an aperitif or a cocktail while taking in the views across the lake and surrounding mountains.
This means that your dog-friendly holiday on Lake Zell is not only about walks and hikes, but also about relaxing and enjoying special moments together.
Swimming with Your Dog Around Lake Zell
What would a summer holiday by the lake be without a refreshing swim? There are also several opportunities around Lake Zell for your four-legged companion to cool off in the water.
Dogs are permitted to swim at sections along the shores of Lake Zell, with the exception of the public lidos. The Erlberg bathing area, for example, has a designated dog zone and is located next to a nature reserve with a beautiful walking route.
There is also an off-leash dog area near Klammsee in Kaprun, where your four-legged friend can move around and burn off some energy.
Please note that dogs are not permitted on the sunbathing lawn at the hotel's private bathing area.
Hiking with Your Dog on the Schmittenhöhe
If you enjoy an active holiday with your dog in Zell am See, there are plenty of opportunities to explore the mountains together. One of the most convenient destinations is the Schmittenhöhe, Zell am See's local mountain.
You can take the cable car up the mountain with your dog and discover the surrounding Alpine landscape along numerous hiking trails. A leash and muzzle are required on the cable car, and dogs need a separate ticket. Dogs must also be kept on a leash throughout the hiking area.
Beyond the Schmittenhöhe, Zell am See-Kaprun offers many other dog-friendly excursions. The Kitzsteinhorn and Maiskogel can also be explored with your four-legged companion, while natural attractions such as the Sigmund Thun Gorge and Krimml Waterfalls provide even more opportunities for adventures together.
