What the house rules say about dogs
These are the dog rules of our house terms:
- Tell us about your dog when you book. A dog we did not know about is charged for the whole stay.
- Keep your dog on a lead in the stairwell, the lift, the underground garage and the ski room.
- Dogs stay off the beds and sofas.
- Please do not leave your dog alone in the apartment.
- Pick up after your dog.
- You need dog owner's or personal liability insurance that covers your dog, and we may ask to see it.
Normal dog hair is covered by the €25. Only cleaning or repairs beyond that are charged, at actual cost.
Skiing with a dog: plan the day first
The rule that matters most in winter is the one about not leaving your dog alone. If everyone in your group wants to ski from first lift to last, you need a plan for the dog: take turns, or book day care before you travel. The Mayrhofen tourist board names Hundeglück Zillertal in Mayrhofen for dog day care.
Rules for dogs in Tyrol and on the lifts
Tyrol's state law (Landes-Polizeigesetz, § 6a) sets two levels. In public places inside built-up areas, your dog must be on a lead or wear a muzzle. Where crowds usually gather, and always on public transport, it needs a lead and a muzzle, or must travel in a closed carrier. Breaking the rule can cost a fine of up to €750.
On the Zillertalbahn train and the regional buses inside Tyrol, dogs travel free of charge under the VVT tariff rules, on a lead and with a muzzle; assistance dogs do not need the muzzle. If your dog does not wear one at home, pack one: according to the Mayrhofen tourist board, the ticket desks of the Mayrhofner Bergbahnen also sell muzzles. We found no published dog rules for the gondolas themselves, so ask at the ticket desk before you take your dog up the mountain.
Walks from the front door
The walk to the Penkenbahn runs about 700 m along the Ziller river. That riverside path is the obvious first walk of the morning and the last one at night. The tourist office in the centre is about a 7-minute walk away.
Arriving by car with a dog
By car, your car goes into your own underground parking space, included in the price, and the lift takes you, the luggage and the dog straight up to your floor without a walk round the building. If you drive electric, the wallbox in the garage charges for €0.40 per kWh. The two new Base apartments are on the ground floor, each with its own terrace.
Coming from the UK? Check the current pet travel rules on gov.uk well before you leave, because the paperwork for taking a dog into the EU takes time.
Quiet for nervous dogs
All windows are soundproofed. In the apartments facing the street you will hear traffic with the windows open, so mention a noise-sensitive dog when you book.
FAQ
Is there a size or breed limit?
Our house rules name no size or breed limit, only the maximum of two dogs per apartment. If your dog is very large, tell us when you book.
Can I bring a cat instead?
No. Dogs are the only animals we take.
Does my guide dog cost extra?
No. Assistance dogs such as guide, service or hearing dogs are free of charge.
Can my dog stay in the apartment while we go out for dinner?
Our house rules ask you not to leave your dog alone in the apartment, so plan dinners with your dog or take turns. Restaurants decide for themselves whether dogs may come in, so ask when you reserve.
Is the dog fee included when I book through Booking.com?
Booking platforms show their own terms and prices. When you book direct, the dog is part of your total price, and the tourist tax is already included too.
