Description of the Retreat

Imagine a place surrounded by snowy peaks and green meadows far away from busy city life, a place where you can relax completely and recharge your ‘batteries’. A place like this exists and is called MoaAlm – a mountain retreat in the middle of Hohe Tauern National Park in Austria. This yoga and multi activity retreat combines daily yoga with guided activities in the surrounding mountains. In the winter we love to combine Yoga with Snowshoe hikes and in the summer with hiking. This holiday is something for you if you need a break from daily life, if you want to intensify your yoga and meditation practice, if you love the mountains, or if you just like to treat yourself to week to enjoy life and delicious food!

Teacher/Teachings

Rosie is our yoga teacher (200-RYT) and Thai Massage Therapist from New Zealand. She has spent the past four years travelling and teaching on yoga retreats and wellness centres in SE Asia and Europe. She believes that yoga is more than the practice on the mat – it is about what we put in our bodies, the people we surround ourselves with, the values we hold, our intentions, and how we interact with the world. Rosie’s classes focus on the breath and awareness, and she incorporates dynamic and restorative poses to enable people to see the perfect balance that exists within all of us. Rosie is a fun-loving kiwi and always encourages people not to take themselves too seriously in their yoga practice. Rosie is a bundle of warmth that also takes the time to get to know everybody off the mat..

Facilities

The MoaAlm Mountain Retreat has comfortable single, double, twin, or triple rooms. The rooms are stylishly decorated and spacious, with sizes that can go up to 24 square meters. All rooms have an en-suite private bathroom and stunning views. Some have balconies, but not all. All rooms can be made up with one double or two single beds. After an active day in the outdoors, you can enjoy the astonishing view from the sunny terrace or relax in the living room to enjoy a drink at the bar, curl up on the sofa with a magazine or book, or enjoy a meal at the shared dining table. The resort offers an in-house yoga studio, which has a panoramic mountain view and is the perfect place for an active start to the day. There, you will have the opportunity to practice energizing yoga in the mornings or a relaxing session of restorative yoga in the afternoon. In the morning the sunrise fills the room with energy and the late afternoon turns the mountains pink.

Timetable

There is no set daily schedule. MoaAlm Mountain Retreat understands that every guest and every day is different. The benefit of small groups is that they can adapt, discuss, and personalize each day.

A typical day may start by enjoying a morning Vinyasa yoga session in the in-house yoga studio with a view on the sunrise over the mountains followed by eating breakfast together at the shared dining table. Snow shoeing up to the Lesach Riegel Hut and having a little picnic with a view at the Grossglockner (Austria's highest mountain) follows.

After this, you may warm up at MoaAlm with a cup of tea on the sofa in the living room, maybe read one of their books or magazines, or play a board game. Share stories and wine while you are at it, accompanied by a delicious three course dinner and discussion to plan the next day's adventures.

Food

At MoaAlm we love food! There is no better start to the day than a nutritious breakfast. MoaAlm serves fresh fruits, oats and cereals, bread, eggs, and much more. After an active day in the outdoors, you can warm up with a cup of tea and enjoy freshly baked cake. At dinner, the chef always surprises with a delicious three course meal made with lots of love and attention. MoaAlm believes that food tastes best when it grows close-by: their ingredients are local, fresh, and organic whenever possible. The food is predominantly vegetarian, sometimes vegan and we can cater for different food requests.

Practical Information

How to get there to MoaAlm..We are located at 1800m and due to our isolated location, it takes a bit more of an effort to get to us!
Driving directions from Kals
Drive through the village past the church and the small supermarket
At the first fork in the road, keep right, following the green signs for Moaralm
At the second fork, keep left at the beautiful wooden house with the blue and white balconies. At the next and final fork bear right, driving past a small parking area and up the mountain to MoaAlm
From the final fork, it is a 10-minute drive to MoaAlm
During the winter, you will leave your vehicle at the small parking area just past the final fork.
MoaAlm will drive you the last two miles up the local Rodel Bahn (sledging track)
Arrival by airplane
Please book your flight to arrive at Salzburg Airport (SZG) or Innsbruck Airport (INN). There are different options for transferring from these airports to MoaAlm; these include, public transportation, airport shuttle taxi, or car rental. The MoaAlm team will help you sort out the best option for you.

Airlines are constantly changing routes and the only way to make sure you have an up to date guide is by going directly to the websites. The nearest airports are Salzburg and Innsbruck. Guests have also flown into Munich and Ljubljana. If you fly into one of these two, MoaAlm advices that you rent a car to transfer to MoaAlm.

Arrival by shuttle
There are taxis that operate from Salzburg Airport (SZG) or Innsbruck Airport (INN). In winter, the tourist office provides a shuttle for a fixed price of 45 EUR per person, one-way, on Saturdays. Please send an inquiry to MoaAlm to book this transfer.

Arrival by train
If you don't like flying or driving yourself, it might be a good idea to take a train all the way to Austria.
