Muzzles have been compulsory in the cabins on the railway for several years.
As before, you can buy muzzles of different sizes at the ticket offices, but there has been a change in Austria since this year. According to Austrian law, the lighter nylon muzzles previously sold must be replaced by more compact plastic muzzles. These models will therefore be sold at checkouts in Austria in future. In Germany, the lighter nylon muzzles will continue to be sold. We would like to point out that the decision as to which muzzle the dog wears is ultimately the responsibility of the owner.

The muzzle obligation also applies on the Walserbus!

A weekly ticket for 1 dog at a time can be purchased for €8 at the ticket offices. The annual ticket is available for €40. The dog still receives a tag, which must be attached to the dog's collar and dated.

• In Austria, we have a general lead and muzzle requirement for public spaces. This means that if your dog wears a muzzle outdoors, there is no lead requirement. A muzzle and a lead are mandatory on public transport such as the cable cars, chair lifts and the Walserbus. Leads are generally required in residential areas, shopping centres and all types of premises. Dogs are prohibited on playgrounds.

• Dog owners are obliged to clean up dog waste. There are plenty of dog waste bag stations found around the area, and you can also find a dog waste bag station next to the hotel grounds.
• Dogs on holiday in Austria must have an EU pet ID card, a valid rabies vaccination and a microchip with identification.

The price per dog per night is € 20. Please bring your own food and blanket or dog bed with you.
