Description of Austria skiing and winter activity holiday
This skiing and winter activity holiday is hosted at MoaAlm, a unique, beautifully designed mountain house, situated high in the Austrian Alps.
MoaAlm offers sustainable mountain activity and yoga holidays for a maximum of 14 people. During the snowy season, we provide snowshoe hikes, winter walks and cross-country skiing. For skiers and snowboarders, the GG-Resort offers 37 km of downhill slopes. In the afternoon, the hot tub is ready for a muscle soak. Our holidays are a healthy balance of fresh air, alpine adventure, great plant based food and time to relax.
SNOWSHOE HIKING:
MoaAlm is located at the foot of Austria's highest mountain and right on the edge of the Hohe Tauern National Park. We offer guided snowshoe hikes to allow you explore this remote and stunning area in winter. We provide all the snowshoe equipment. We will suggest daily routes, depending on weather, preference and your sense of adventure!
CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING:
We have access to some great cross country-skiing terrain directly from our village. If there is a guest preference to try some cross country, then we will provide the equipment and introduction. If you have cross country ski experience, then we have a variety of blue and red routes in the valley and we occasionally venture further afield to try some more challenging routes.
SKI & SNOWBOARD:
The GG-Resort offers a perfect mixture or wide open slopes and windy forest runs perfect for all levels. No waiting lines for the lifts and the many restaurants serve local specialities at friendly prices. It is possible to ski and snowboard from our house to the ski lift, or we will give you a lift to and from the resort. We can help organise lessons and equipment rental.
YOGA:
Every holiday with us includes five yoga classes in our in-house yoga studio with panoramic mountain views. We believe that yoga is for everyone, no matter what your age or level of fitness and, as such, our classes are prepared with all of our guests in mind. Yoga and winter sports are a great combination for the body and soul!
FOOD:
We are passionate about healthy living and reducing our impact on the environment. Therefore included in your holiday are six three course evening meals which are entirely plant based. Every morning we offer a nutritious breakfast. After an active day in the outdoors you can warm up with a cup of tea and enjoy some homemade afternoon cake.
ABOUT THE AREA:
MoaAlm is situated at 1800m, in idyllic seclusion about 3km above the small village of Kals am Groίglockner. The house is surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery, countless hiking trails, mountain lakes, glaciers and Austria's highest peaks. Our local hiking guides are extremely knowledgeable about the flora and fauna in the Hohe Tauren National Park and will spot rare wildlife such as eagles and ibex.

Planet
MoaAlm Mountain Retreat is a space to share our passion for the mountains and a balanced and healthy lifestyle. The East Tyrolian Alps offer unspoilt landscapes and habitat for a variety of plants and animals. We are located on the edge of the Hohe Tauern National Park and part of a small village community, Kals am Groίglockner. Every day, life at MoaAlm reminds us of the preciousness of our environment which it is our goal to protect.We serve plant based, locally sourced organic food, and change our menu with the seasons to ensure we are creating as minimul impact on the environment as possible.
Saving CO2 emissions, energy and waste is an important goal. Daily transport will involve a combination of snowshoe, ski and toboggan. We encourage everybody to be conscious about how to use the lighting and heating in the house. We use LED light bulbs, water-saving shower heads and environmentally friendly cleaning products. Towels and bed linen are only changed on request. We try to avoid waste by ordering things in a well-planned way with little packaging. What still has to go is separated, composted or recycled if possible.
Our water is supplied directly from a mountain spring and our heating system is a brand new 'eco' pellet burning system. The P4 pellet system has won many international quality awards in EU and USA, the most prestigious of all are the Blue Angel and the Austrian Ecolabel. Even in winter our South facing position can also provide supplementary energy from our solar bank.
Natural materials have been used in the construction and renovation of MoaAlm where possible and we have been pleased to find a number of high quality, locally produced materials to use in the refurbishment. The local tradesmen we employ are highly skilled, particularly in mediums of wood, stone and locally-produced felt.
People
MoaAlm stands proud at 1800 meters and without a neighbor in sight. We love our secluded location, but we also love the village! The connection to the people in our region means a lot to us and we prefer to use local structures, services and products. The area has an excellent ski school and advanced mountain guiding network of instructors that guests may choose to take advantage of. All fresh food and drink will be sourced locally where possible. Guests will eat out for lunch on occasion and two evenings at locally-run recommended restaurants.Our small team lives and works at MoaAlm: We want them to be happy and stay long-term, of course. Good and fair working conditions and enough freedom to enjoy the mountains go without saying.
