The best dog hotels in Switzerland
Dog hotels: relaxation for humans and animals
A vacation in nature is a blessing for the soul. For dog owners, this is the perfect opportunity to explore the countryside together with their four-legged friend. However, not every hotel is geared towards the needs of dogs. Rural dog hotels close this gap and enable a carefree vacation close to hiking trails and nature experiences.
What distinguishes the dog hotels we recommend?
The dog hotels mentioned above know how to offer both us humans and our dogs a comfortable stay. They are usually:
Situated in natural areas: They are located on the edge of forests, near lakes or in the middle of picturesque mountain landscapes - ideal for long walks and hikes.
Dog-friendly facilities: Some dog hotels have special sleeping areas for dogs as well as feeding and drinking bowls, some even have a special shower area to get the dog clean after a long day of hiking.
Close to hiking trails: Many of these hotels are located directly on well-known hiking trails or offer special routes for guests with dogs.
Advantages of dog hotels
Relaxation in nature: The rural location of these hotels offers peace and relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Freedom for your dog: Large open spaces and the proximity to nature mean exercise and adventure for your four-legged companion.
Joint activities: The proximity to hiking trails enables joint activities and strengthens the bond between dog and owner.
Tips for your stay
Inform in advance: Not all hiking trails are suitable for dogs. Find out in advance about dog-friendly routes and any leash requirements.
Pay attention to local conditions: Some areas have special protection regulations for flora and fauna. Respect these to protect the natural habitat.
Don't forget your dog's equipment: Don't forget enough water, snacks, a first aid kit and, of course, a sturdy lead for the hikes.
