We often walk towards the border of the city next to the river where there is a beachside next to the river. Access to the beach depends on the level of water in the river and when it’s high, there’s a stacking of rocks that form a pier – a great place to sit down and relax with a stunning mountain backdrop! 

Innsbruck is incredibly dog friendly: You can take your dog almost everywhere with you. Be prepared to meet lots of other dogs, both in the city and on the trails. But pack a leash and a muzzle as there are strict laws about dogs in public places. Innsbruck is amazing to visit all year round, the only tricky thing is that the weather can change pretty quickly due to the winds in the valley. The main reason why the locals often wear functional clothing and pack some extra layers just in case. One thing I always mention to dog owners about hiking the area – be aware of cows in the mountains, especially in the summer and if they have calves, it’s better to keep your distance with a dog, as the mother cows can see dogs as a danger to the little ones and protect them at all costs.

It’s nostalgic as it was the first long walks we took with Yagoh when he was a puppy and we’ve had some other incredibly beautiful moments there – family photoshoots, stunning sunrise and sunset walks as well as relaxing weekends outdoors with our extended families.
