Mountain hiking with dogs
Hiking in the mountains with a dog is a special experience for both you and your four-legged friend. Of course, you can choose to camp during your trip, but you can also stay comfortably and cosily at our Mountain stations and mountain cabins.
At our mountain stations, you and your dog can stay in a private or shared pet-friendly room for an additional fee (service dogs are exempt). These rooms are limited, so it’s important to book a pet-friendly room in advance. Availability is shown when booking online. If no pet-friendly rooms are available, please try another date or a different accommodation.
You can also stay in our cozy mountain cabins in remote locations. All cabins have designated dog rooms that can be booked in advance by selecting the dog add-on when booking. This add-on is mandatory if you wish to bring your dog. Only one person in the party is guaranteed a place in the dog room; other members of the group may be accommodated elsewhere. As the room may be shared
You specify the number of dogs using the message function when booking online. If no pet-friendly rooms are available, please try another date or a different accommodation. Check our visitor calendar to help plan your trip during quieter periods in the mountains.

Extra care for your dog from 1 March to 20 August
During this period, dogs must not run loose in nature. Leash requirements are often in place to protect nesting birds, mammals with young, or grazing reindeer. You should contact the national park or nature reserve you plan to visit to check if specific rules apply.
