In South Tyrol, at the mouth of the pristine Fischlein Valley, lies the Bad Moos Aqua Spa Resort . Surrounded by nature, among the UNESCO World Heritage Site Sexten Dolomites, it is a piece of paradise in all seasons!
Over 50 years of history
Established in 1971, thanks to the foresight of its founder Erwin Lanzinger, the resort has its roots in the history of Bagni di Moso. The ancient spring, known as early as 1650, springs at the foot of the mountain and flows near the little church near Bad Moos. The importance of this water, which is rich in sulfur, fluoride, magnesium, calcium and other rare minerals, was immediately clear, so much so that even today it is still a source of health and the star of many wellness treatments.
From the moment you enter, you feel the South Tyrolean atmosphere and refined Tyrolean style, the large windows and bright rooms give the feeling of being at one with the majestic mountains, and the attention to furnishings and fine details embellish the ambience.
Refinement and elegance, charm and comfort also distinguish the suites at the Bad Moos Aqua Spa Resort. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, they keep intact the refined South Tyrolean style that has always distinguished the resort.
Just outside the hotel, theski lifts give high altitude walks with stunning views of the Sexten Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These are the same peaks that are mirrored in the outdoor pool at the Bad Moos Aqua Spa Resort, one of the most beloved settings in summer: get pampered by the whirlpool or relax in the poolside loungers in the manicured garden for a unique experience.
Gourmet gastronomy
The refined and traditional style is also found in the restaurant hall, which is elegant and refined thanks to the wooden cladding on the walls and ceiling and bright thanks to the glass window.
The light and wholesome gastronomy makes use of typical local products, cultivated with respect to seasonality and revisited according to the dictates of modern cuisine. Chef Giovanni Togni, a spontaneous smile and a genuine and reserved character, is equally passionate about preparing traditional and international cuisine.
The Bad Moos’ offerings begin upon arrival at the hotel with a welcome cocktail. Each day begins with a hearty breakfast buffet with an organic corner, local cured meats, homemade pastries, fresh fruit, varieties of muesli, centrifuges and freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices. Fruits and herbal teas are always available in the spa, and in the afternoon a snack with a hot dish, small snacks and drinks allows you to recharge when you return from activities.
Dinner includes a 4- to 5-course menu of your choice and buffet of salads, appetizers, typical regional cheeses, and fresh fruit. There is no shortage of special themed or romantic candlelight evenings, with dessert buffets for those with a sweet tooth.
And for wine enthusiasts? The Bad Moos provides its guests with an extensive list of selected wines. From South Tyrolean red and white wines to Chardonnay, from Pinot Grigio and Nero to Sauvignon, from Lagrein to Merlot, from Cuvèe to Cabernet, from regional wines to French wines, to dessert wines, Spumante and Champagne. There is no shortage of specialty grappas, a true South Tyrolean must.
A culinary experience not to be missed at Bad Moos is dinner in the Stube. There is a choice between the Wein Stube from the 1600s, the Gothic Stube from the 1300s, and the Fondue Stube, the smallest and most intimate. These are truly exclusive and evocative locations, harking back to the magic of times long gone,when the Stube was the beating heart of the farmhouse.
