Garmisch-Partenkirchen
Holidays with your dog

In Garmisch-Partenkirchen you will find numerous dog-friendly hiking trails, from leisurely walks to challenging tours. Particularly popular are the Philosophenweg with its panoramic views, the Wank circular hike with a stop at the Tannenhütte and the tour through the Partnachklamm gorge. Make sure your dog stays on a lead and gets plenty of breaks. Many huts and paths offer shade and fresh spring water.

Yes, dogs are allowed in the Partnach Gorge, but they must be kept on a lead and a dog ticket (€5*) is required. As the path is narrow and damp in places, dogs should be sure-footed. We recommend sturdy shoes and a towel in your rucksack to dry off your four-legged friend afterwards.

There are several lakes around Garmisch-Partenkirchen where dogs are welcome. Lake Geroldsee is particularly popular, where you will find quiet sections of the shore for you and your four-legged friend with consideration for other bathers. Your dog is also allowed to splash around outside the official bathing areas at Barmsee and Pflegersee. Please follow the signs on site.

As a general rule, your dog should not be left alone in your room for long periods of time. If you have to leave him alone for a short time, please hang the "Dog in room" sign on your room door. This will allow housekeeping to be considerate and avoid stressful situations for your four-legged friend.
