Came to MoAlm the second time, now for the winter season. The location is spectacular, the staff friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic. Glad that I came again to this wonderful hide-away in the high alps.
The location: unbelievably beautiful. The wonderful MoaAlm; the meadows; the snow-capped mountains; the far-reaching view. The loving care; the family atmosphere; the interesting and fun conversations; the beautiful, clean and well-maintained facilities. The fantastic excursions; trying out new activities like snowshoeing and ski touring; reaching your own limits and the many happy hormones afterwards; the professional guidance; the varied adventures; the silence while walking. And afterwards relaxing in the hot tub!
Fantastic stay, with great hikes and yoga. Lovely location, excellent food and a wonderful team.
Moreish food with a stunning Mountain View.
MoaAlm located far away from a big city life, offers you everything you need: relaxing but active morning yoga and daily sports (like snowshoe hiking, skiing or ski touring), friendly atmosphere, hot tube and fresh mountain’s air. If it’s not enough - the team will spoil you with rich, healthy plant-based food. Beetroot burgers, homemade pasta, or mushroom scallops, to name a few. Not to mention heavenly desserts: vegan chocolate lava cake, lemon-avocado cheesecake and sweet & creamy crème brûlée. Definitely a place to be. I can recommend for groups as well as for solo travellers. It is not a restaurant, so to enjoy it pls book a weekly retreat, as plants taste (even) better there. Ps. Non-vegans will surely enjoy it, too!
Thank you MoaAlm team!! I had such a lovely week at MoaAlm, the house is so beautiful located, free and in the mountains! I had so much fun doing all different kind of activities, like snow shoe hikes, cross country skiing, snowboarding, everything is possible, or just relax in the hot tub and last but not least, enjoying with everyone around such a nice dinner every evening and getting to know each other! I'm already looking forward to come back! So many many thanks for be like a second home!
Idyllic Escape
My husband and I had an incredible and wholesome week at MoaAlm - an idyllic escape in the mountains. Yoga with Sophie every morning really set the intention for each day - I still miss these classes! We really enjoyed all the guided activities, and these were exactly what we needed as beginners to help us safely explore and play in the mountains. The food from Alessia and the team was vegan heaven, and we loved the family style dinners to get to know all the fellow guests. The MoaAlm team, including Zora(!), were absolutely fantastic and really made us felt like we were at home - thank you :) The hot tub was really just the icing on the cake (how could I forget the cake! A delicious treat after a day in the mountains)We can't wait to return !
Had again an absolutely amazing time at MoaAlm. Craig and Xania created a magical experience, in a beautiful location. I very much enjoyed the winter activities, the warmheartedness of the staff, the wonderful group and the fantastic views. Looking forward to coming back, winter or summer!
I absolutely loved the pace, vibe, yoga, location and structure of the retreat. It was perfect having flown from the US and jumped right into the mountain activities. Sophie and Craigs classes were a perfect complement of morning stretching and strength training... and Craigs nightly inversion and upper body stretching. I wish I could have had another night or two added to my stay. As Craig mentioned... once you settle in its time to pack up!
'Probably the best week of my life'
I had an amazing time at MoaAlm. The location is at an altitude of 1800 so we had a lot of snow even though the weather got relatively warm (8 degrees on some days). The food was very tasty and I completely forgot that it was vegan as it was tasteful. I opted for snowshoe hiking on the first day and cross country ski the second day and then went snowboarding the last 4 days. Thank you MoaAlm!
The most memorable part of our holiday at MoaAlm was the constantly changing, outstanding view from our bedroom window (and hot tub!) Being further up the mountain, we got away from the mass tourism below. It felt like our own little snow kingdom for one week. The staff, location and activities were all great. We had a wonderful time, being outside all day was mentally and physically revitalising. The holiday has motivated us to move more and rest better since we got home.
Truly Wonderful Holiday and Experience
I had a winter week at MoaAlm over New Years Eve. The accomodation is perfect- I had a single room and it was clean, cosy and mountain stylish. The food was delicious, plentiful and fun. I was a solo female traveller and I felt supported to participate in everything. Each day doing Yoga and being out in nature was truly a blessing- the area is absolutely beautiful. Lastly the MoaAlm team and other guests make this experience. Can't wait to go back.
MoaAlm exceeded every single one of my (high) expectations. I completely understand why so many people keep going back. Our week there is definitely on the list of all time favourite family holidays.MoaAlm is a beautiful guesthouse in a stunning location filled with lovely people. It was a pleasure getting to know the team who instantly make you feel at home and that nothing is too much trouble.The yoga was a great way to start the day, especially with amazing views and the rising sun hitting our faces just as we were finishing the class. I thoroughly enjoyed all the activities which were all tailored to suit the conditions ... and the group. Coming back to the house in the afternoon to delicious cake and a cup of tea was a real treat. The dinners were amazing and we all enjoyed sitting around the communal dining table getting to know the other guests and the MoaAlm team. We were there for Christmas Day and loved the five course feast - not to mention the gluhwein and the choc mint Christmas cake! (Oh, and the hot tub!)The team struck the perfect balance of making activities available and appropriate without any sense of pressure or judgment. Active days and relaxed evenings with beautiful healthy food and some great local wine - what's not to love?! We're hooked - already planning our week in Croatia!
What a place. If you are looking for a beautiful setting to relax, do yoga, eat well and see some amazing scenery, then look no further. I stayed here for Christmas 2022 and it absolutely fulfilled all my hopes for the holiday and more. The tag for MoaAlm is "Relaxingly Active" and that is the right description. Mornings start with a yoga session in a room looking out on the mountains - the sessions are well judged and adaptable, we had beginners through to people who could headstand and all loved them. The highlight was the sun rising over the mountain ridge onto your face just as the class ended each day - magical. The rest of the day then divides into an optional activity (hiking, cross country skiing etc.) followed by some down time later afternoon, also including cake and the option of a beer in the hot tub. Dinners are a communal, chatty and heartwarming time - great food and mixed seating each night so you get to chat to all the guests and staff. The great thing this place achieves is if you want to be super active, you can be. But equally if you want to just chill, read a book one day, that's totally fine too and nobody judges - "you be you" feels like the mantra. The staff there could not have been kinder or thoughtful, I'll definitely be back!
My stay at MoaAlm has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! The place is just amazing and the views from there are stunning, all the staff and people are lovely… and the food was so tasty! Great experience! Thanks for everything MoaAlm!I suggest everyone who loves outdoor activities and the mountains to have a look at their website and book a stay there
This was my second trip to MoaAlm and it was just as amazing as I remembered. Instant warm welcome, delicious food and afternoon cakes, great yoga, lovely staff, and amazing hikes with amazing views! I felt relaxed even after the first day. Cannot fault anything at MoaAlm, and hope to return again in the future. Felt very sad to leave!
I absolutely enjoyed every minute spent at MoaAlm.The combination yoga/ hike is great and allowed us to keep active during the day while enjoying beautiful views and landscapes.The food is an absolute experience - nothing like basic meals as in other yoga retreats. The chefs are extremely professional and experiment with amazing creative vegan dishes.The hosts Sophie and Tobi are super nice and friendly and they really go the extra mile for their guests - I haven’t seen such attention and care to the customers in any other retreats to be honest.MoaAlm is truly a wonderful place with wonderful people and I hope I will go back there soon.
Amazing beautiful place..happy holiday memories. MoaAlm is a unique retreat guesthouse in stunning scenery. Hosts Sophie and Tobias and all the friendly lovely staff and local guides looked after us so well, and were always there to help with anything we needed, we felt at home and didn’t want to leave.Hiking, yoga, vegan meals, wonderful group of people, homely relaxing atmosphere, laughter and cold river and lake swims made a memorable week full of happy memories.
Winter magic - highly recommended!This was my second time at MoaAlm. After experiencing the beautiful summer hikes, I came back for the winter magic and absolutely loved every bit of it.The team at MoaAlm goes out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and taken care of. The activities are curated with great care, fitting the different wishes of the group. I especially enjoyed the snowshoe hikes as well as the rodel/sledging adventures. The scenery is stunning and we have been taken on some beautiful tours.
I am not sure that enough words of praise exist in the English language to do MoaAlm justice.Everything from rooms, house, organic food, hikes, yoga, hot tub to the personal touches, attention to detail, views and location was just outstanding!The combination of long hikes and gentle stretching yoga was bliss and Sent me home a stronger me. I was never hungry, bored or missing anything. I was also lucky to be part of a group of lovely single female travellers who just made it even better
