Holiday in the Dolomites with Your Furry Friend this National Dog Day

26th August marks National Dog Day, a day that was first created back in 2004 and encourages adoption and responsible choices when it comes to caring for our furry friends. Your dog is your most loyal companion, your source of joy, and your best hiking buddy – so why leave them behind on holiday? Hotel Hubertus in South Tyrol in the Italian Dolomites ensures that canine companions enjoy the mountains as much as any other guests.

A Dog-Lover’s Paradise in the Heart of South Tyrol

Just one step outside the hotel and you’ll find the world’s most beautiful adventure playground: the untouched landscapes of Val Pusteria/Pustertal. Picture this: your dog bounding happily across lush green meadows, wagging their tail in the fresh alpine air, quenching their thirst in a cool mountain stream. In winter, the same paths transform into a sparkling snow wonderland that turns every walk into a magical experience.

Hiking Together: 15 Guided Adventures Every Week

At Hotel Hubertus, hiking isn’t an occasional treat – it’s the heart of the weekly programme in the summer months. The hotel takes guests on up to 15 guided hikes per week, and your dog is welcome to join the adventure. Explore the iconic Plan de Corones/Kronplatz region, where trails lead through wildflower meadows, dense forests and up to breathtaking viewpoints of the Dolomites – a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

From sunrise hikes with senior host Christian, to tranquil lake walks and panoramic mountain tours, every day brings a new way to connect with nature. While you soak in the spectacular views, your dog gets the joy of open spaces, new scents, and endless wag-worthy moments.

Beyond Hiking – A Weekly Programme Full of Variety

When you’re ready for a change of pace, the Hubertus activity programme keeps things exciting:

• Nordic walking & e-bike tours for outdoor enthusiasts
• Zipline adventures for thrill-seekers
• Yoga and Pilates sessions for total relaxation
• Farm visits, rafting trips, aqua gym and circuit training for those who love to keep moving

And don’t miss the weekly barbecue party at Chalet Hubertus, where good food and mountain vibes make the perfect evening.

Because Dogs Deserve Comfort Too

Hotel Hubertus know how much your dog means to you – that’s why they offer thoughtful extras for your four-legged friend:

• A welcome set with treats, a toy, and excrement bags (for stays of 5+ nights)
• Hubertus Park for easy, leash-friendly strolls (with a dog toilet and free waste bags)
• Guided hikes where dogs are welcome
• Flexible room cleaning times so your pup’s nap isn’t disturbed

All of this for just €30 per day for your pet, because pampering them is just as important as pampering you.
