Paws welcome - with all our heart

Dogs are part of the family. With us, people and dogs experience moments of happiness together. From the valley to the summit.

There's a jar of favourite biscuits in the lobby and baskets outside for cleaning paws.
Muzzles and bags? Ready to hand, of course.

Included services

Dogs ARE welcome at the Jägerheim & Dorfcafé

Your four-legged friend is welcome to accompany you to dinner --
as long as he feels just as comfortable as his humans.
With a blanket, peace and quiet and a little serenity, every meal is enjoyable for everyone.
Time together, mindfulness for each other - that's how Valavier tastes.

Tips from the Wild Three

Whether it's a tummy ache, a pain or an itchy dog ear - the wild three are always there. Kathi, Fritz & Frani know the best walking routes, reveal secret favourite places and have an open ear for every ailment. And if it's nothing serious, they tell the best adventure stories from the Brandnertal - full of heart, humour and love of their homeland.

Rules with dog

Your dog needs a muzzle for the ascent in the large-capacity gondola and on the public bus - this is mandatory. So that you both arrive relaxed, we have muzzles for hire.

Your dog is welcome on a lead in the hotel, in the restaurant and in the lobby - so it's relaxed for everyone. In the garden he will meet our rabbits Manfred and Mathilda - they enjoy their freedom, so please keep them on a lead.
On the hiking trails: trust and instinct apply.
Where it's safe, you can sniff.
But please be considerate during the breeding season - that's when it's best to keep the lead on.

Your dog is part of the family - with us he pays €25 per night. This includes a dog blanket, bowl, towels, treats and all the little extras they need to make them feel at home. A holiday with heart and paw - all inclusive.

Kathi has a small pet pharmacy for quick help. And the nearest pharmacy is only a few minutes' drive away. The vet we trust: Tierärzte Team Bludenz, also just a few minutes' drive away.  If you ever need assistance, we'll help you straight away - Kathi knows the best addresses for pets.

We ask you to keep your dog on a lead at the pool area - all guests should be able to relax there undisturbed. But don't worry: there are meadows, streams and walking paths right outside the door where your furry friend can splash around and romp.

The most beautiful routes start right on our doorstep: a short walk along the stream, a short forest loop for in between or the long hike towards Alpe Rona. We will be happy to advise you.
