Many campsites tolerate dogs.
We genuinely look forward to them.
A sign, an extra fee, a few rules — and that's it at most places. SÅNDGØLD is different. The Ahrntal is a paradise for dogs: wide alpine meadows, hiking trails directly from the site, clean air at over 1,000 metres. We welcome your dog because this landscape was made exactly for that.
At the same time, we're honest: SÅNDGØLD is Adults Friendly and focused on a calm, mature atmosphere. That applies to dogs too. A well-behaved dog that doesn't disturb the neighbouring pitch — that's a perfect fit for us. Your dog is a guest, just like you.
"The Ahrntal is not a dog park. It's something better: an alpine landscape made for dogs and their people. Dog shower included. Your dog is a guest here — just like you."
— Benedikt WieserAll Categories
Dogs are welcome on all pitch categories — from Cuprum to Magnum Vista. Simply indicate it when booking.
Adventure Chalets
Open year-round and dog-friendly. On stilts above the natural pond — with plenty of space for your dog too.
Dog Days October
Especially welcome every October. Golden Ahrntal, empty trails, quiet site — the most beautiful month with a dog.
Alpine Hiking Trails
Directly from the site: riverbanks, larch forests, alpine paths. The Ahrntal offers countless dog-friendly routes for every energy level. Dogs are welcome on buses and cable cars — muzzle required.

The best month
with your dog.
Every October the cards are reshuffled: the site gets quieter, the light more golden, the temperature just right for long hikes. Larches in gold, empty trails, clear mountain air — those who have spent an October with their dog in the Ahrntal always come back.
Camping season: until 15 October. Adventure Chalets with dogs: available year-round.
