For the whole family
Because the best holiday moments are the ones you share.
A holiday is only complete when the whole family is there – and of course that includes your dog.
At the Glücksschmiede, your four-legged companion is not just allowed, but warmly welcome. Right on our doorstep, idyllic walking paths, wonderful hikes and countless nature experiences are waiting to be discovered together. In the hotel, thoughtful extras make sure your dog feels completely at home from the very first moment.
Arrive. Breathe. Enjoy the mountains together.
Well looked after

So you can start your holiday relaxed, a small starter kit will already be waiting in your room when you arrive.
What awaits your dog:

That makes your holiday together easy right from the start – without packing lots of extras.
Together, not apart
Your dog is warmly welcome here.
Time together is what matters most to us. That’s why your dog is welcome to join you in many areas of our hotel.
Where your dog can come along
Dog-friendly
Your dog is very welcome in your room, in the lobby, at the bar, in the Fuhrmannstube restaurant, on the terrace and in the HornOX restaurant.
These areas stay dog-free
Dog-free areas
Out of consideration for all guests, dogs are unfortunately not allowed in the breakfast restaurant or in the wellness and spa area. Thank you for your understanding.
Breakfast together
Tip
If you would like to have breakfast together with your dog, we are happy to serve your breakfast in the lobby. Just ask our team – we’ll take care of it.
Around the Glücksschmiede
Out and about together.
The best experiences start right outside our hotel door. Whether a relaxed walk along the Saalach river or a long hike with panoramic views – around the Glücksschmiede, plenty of trails are waiting to be discovered together.
Short morning walk
From the hotel, head straight towards the start of the valley (roundabout). At Hotel Theresia, cross the road and walk back along the other side of the stream, past the Montelino family park, to the hotel. Completely flat with lots of shade – on hot days the stream offers dogs a chance to cool off and run free.
Short evening walk
Turn left out of the hotel towards the end of the valley. At about the Zwölferkogel bus stop, cross the road and follow the hiking trail along the Saalach river. Flat, easy-going & you are sure to meet plenty of other dog lovers.
To the Gerstreit reservoir
From the hotel towards the Westgipfelbahn; from the valley station, a forest road leads through the woods to the reservoir. A little steeper, mostly through the forest, with swimming spots at the lake (summer only).
End-of-valley loop
From the hotel to the end of the valley. The easy route leads from the hotel along the Saalach river towards the end of the valley. The path follows a very comfortable trail through the forest with little incline and lots of opportunities to let your dog really run. You can hike all the way to the end of the valley, return via the Saalalm and Ossmannalm to the Lindlingalm, and from there take the little tourist train back.
Tip: You are sure to find plenty of playmates on this very popular path. For a shorter version, drive to the end of the valley and start at the train turning point (1.5-hour loop).
Panorama loop on the Zwölferkogel
Take the Zwölferkogelbahn up and hike leisurely along the panorama trails towards the middle station or all the way down. Stunning views (World Championship course), lots of huts to stop at – a dog ticket is required.
Reiterkogel
Take the gondola up to the Reiterkogel middle station, then on the left-hand side an easy hike to the Rosswaldhütte. A very family-friendly trail with play areas and puzzles to solve. Wide forest road passing the reservoir – if you like, you can hike all the way down.
Your benefit
Reach new heights with the JOKER CARD.
Reach new heights together: with the JOKER CARD, dog owners ride up for free – and of course your four-legged friend can come along: dog ticket € 8.50 per day.

Away from the hiking trails too
Well looked after
Even away from the hiking trails, your four-legged friend is well looked after.
Dog sitting
Would you like to enjoy a wellness day, go on a challenging bike tour or simply spend some time as a couple?
We are happy to arrange a caring dog sitter (€ 25.00 per hour).
Simply book at our reception.
Food service
Dog food is not included in our dog package.
Should your four-legged friend need a meal, our kitchen team will gladly prepare something suitable on request.
Just let our reception know – we’ll take care of it.
Relaxing together
Good to know.
So that all guests – on two legs and four – feel at home with us, we kindly ask for a little mutual consideration and have put together a few tips for you.
It works best together.
- Please keep your dog on a lead in the hotel and within the village of Saalbach Hinterglemm.
- Dogs are not allowed on sofas, armchairs or beds.
- Please always pick up after your dog – you’ll find poop bags in your room.
- On mountain pastures, please keep a safe distance from cows and other grazing animals.
Cleaning and housekeeping
So that our housekeeping team can clean your room without stress, please hang the dog sign on the outside of your door whenever your dog stays in the room alone.
That way our team knows and can clean your room as soon as your four-legged friend is out with you again. This keeps things relaxed – for your dog and for our staff.
If something should happen …
Where there’s playing, romping and holidaying together, a little mishap can happen.
If there is any damage or unusual soiling, please just let us know. Together we will find a simple and fair solution.
Please understand that extraordinary cleaning or any damage caused may have to be charged.
