Rauris in winter

Winter holiday with your dog in the snowy mountains of Salzburg

The pistes in the Rauriser Valley are a real insider tip. While other resorts are faced with queues for the lifts, with Rauris' modern lifts you can expect to get to the peaks much more quickly.

Wide sunny pistes invite you to have a really great ski. Beginners as well as advanced can find their favourite pistes, not forgetting of course the numerous traditional ski huts serving food for welcome refreshment.

Beyond the pistes there are many other recreational possibilities awaiting you. Action-packed ice climbing, cross-country skiing or a romantic ride with the horse-drawn sleigh. Your dog will not go without either as there are many extensive, cleared winter hiking trails inviting you on long walk. A guided snow-shoe hike or a skiing tour is great fun for both dog and owner.
