Program
MoaAlm is situated at 1800 meters and is the ideal place to relax and refresh. This retreat is the perfect holiday for single travelers, families, or groups of friends. There is something to do for everyone. Some like to participate in the morning yoga and spend the day reading, whilst others go skiing in the resort or join the organized snowshoe hiking or cross country skiing. At the end of the day, you will all come together over a delicious plant-based meal.
Yoga
MoaAlm offers a one-hour morning yoga class with a certified instructor on five days of the week. You are very welcome to join whether you have never done yoga before or you are a regular practitioner. The classes are always tailored to individual needs. Your yoga teacher teaches an energizing yoga class in the mornings and occasionally teaches a Restorative yoga session in the afternoon. Every evening the yoga space is also opened for self-practice.
A typical week might look like this:
Day 1
Arrival to your mountain home, MoaAlm. Welcome drink and a chat over dinner about the week ahead.
Day 2
Morning yoga class looking out at the sunrise from behind the mountains before breakfast. You choose either: Introduction to snowshoe hike with our Activity Leader or a day of skiing from MoaAlm where you orientate yourself to the local ski resort. Invasion class and self-practice in the yoga studio before dinner.
Day 3
Today could look like you having breakfast followed by a fresh powder run down to the chair lift of the GG resort. There could be a day cruising on the pistes or maybe an apres-ski drink in the village before being driven back up to MoaAlm for late afternoon cake and a soak in the hot tub. Alternatively, you may wish to join our introduction to cross country skiing organized by our Activity Leader.
Day 4
There could be poor visibility up high so you will head down the valley and take an accompanied snowshoe hike through the trees. There will be an early evening toboggan followed by a restorative yoga session or inversion practice.
Day 5
There will be no alternative activity today so you can head to the piste for a day, take the snowshoes out on one of the marked trails or improve your cross country ski technique. Dinner out this evening will be at one of the restaurants in the village.
Day 6
If you’ve never tried cross-country skiing before, then take the opportunity to join a beginner’s cross-country ski group guaranteed to make you laugh out loud! Dinner will be at the house in the evening.
Day 7
Friday comes around all too quickly but you make the most of it with a chance to explore the fresh powder and off-piste skiing at the base of Austria`s highest mountain, Grossglockner. Alternatively, join our final organized snowshoe hike along a stunning ridge line with views of Grossglockner. Final evening meal at the house with new friends!
Day 8
This will be your departure day.

Sophie von
Sophie began practicing yoga 15 years ago. Yoga became then an integral part of her life, to find a better balance. She never found so much strength and inner peace as on her yoga mat and is happy to be able to give this back in her classes. In 2019 she completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training at Spirit Yoga in Berlin and is about to complete her advanced 500-hour training. Her teaching is influenced by Vinyasa Flow, very precise and always connecting power and relaxation.
