Hiking vacation in Val Venosta – South Tyrol's sunniest valley

And the best thing about it? As a dog-friendly hotel in South Tyrol, we offer carefree vacations with your dog in South Tyrol and recommend the most beautiful dog-friendly hikes in the Vinschgau Valley. Fruit and vineyards, castles, palaces, and glaciated peaks—hiking in the Vinschgau Valley is pure fascination. The Stelvio National Park with the Ortler (3,905 m) and the historic Waalwege trails promise plenty of opportunities to enjoy an active vacation with your dog in South Tyrol. The Vinschgau Valley is also a great place for bike lovers and nature enthusiasts.

At home in Vinschgau

Winter variety for two- and four-legged friends

Time seems to tick more quietly in the VISTA Spa at our hiking and dog-friendly hotel in South Tyrol – high up on the fourth floor, where the view stretches far across the Vinschgau Oberland. Warm wood tones, soft loungers, the silence of the mountains, and the gentle bubbling of the Sky Whirlpool create a place where body and mind can find peace.

Nestled in the quiet heights of the Ötztal and Ortler Alps, the Vinschgau Valley invites active individuals and families alike to enjoy a winter trip full of variety and depth – from gentle family slopes to challenging ski tours and glaciers covered in powder snow. And your four-legged companion will also feel right at home in this snowy winter wonderland and in our dog hotel in South Tyrol.

Hello
!

Countless hiking trails await at the edge of the Stelvio National Park – perfect for explorers on two and four legs. We are a dog-friendly establishment and ensure that both owners and their faithful companions feel completely at home. After shared adventures in nature, cozy rooms, regional delicacies, and genuine South Tyrolean hospitality invite you to relax.

I particularly love leisurely hikes along the old waterways—the Waalwege trails. As a forester in the Stelvio National Park, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion for my homeland—the Vinschgau Valley—to my work.

Hans loves hiking in the Vinschgau and, as the Wanderhotels Wander Concierge, knows beautiful spots full of energy.
