The most memorable has to be the location of MoaAlm and the view from the windows, balcony, and outside area. It is truly spectacular to be nestled in the snowy mountains. New Year's Eve spent under a canopy of stars was a sure highlight. For exciting, the cross-country skiing was excellent fun as were the hikes.read more

As experiences go, it was one of the best I've had. Excellent and clearly communicated itineraries are set out every day which means you don't have to make many decisions (great for anyone mentally exhausted in their day to day lives), and the team are so friendly you'll feel like you've know them forever.read more

It was all memorable! Morning yoga with the first rays of morning sunshine spilling
into the room, hearty breakfasts with everyone around the table discussing
plans for the day, panoramic hikes and skiing in the mountains and beside the
snowy river, coming back to delicious homemade cake and coffee late afternoon,
hot tub under the moon and stars, surrounded by the mountains, exquisite
vegan 3 course evening meal chatting together as good friends. Fantastic
holiday!

The whole holiday was fantastic and exceeded my expectations. Maybe the consistently warm welcomes and generous hospitality of our three different hosts. Or the generous, inclusive leadership from our ski guide, Anna. Or the huge local knowledge and winter expertise of Kasu, our snowmobile guide.

Snowshoeing high in the mountains through virgin snow, no one else around, beautiful and hard work rewarded by schnapps and lunch in a cosy Austrian hut at the top.read more
Philippa Kershaw24 Feb 2024
A super winter break. The flexibility, expertise and unobtrusive hard work of the owners/managers/staff was wonderful. My only concern beforehand was that, having read so many positive reviews in advance, my expectations would be too high. No need to worry. I want to go back!read more

The skiing! I've been cross-country skiing for many years and have skied in quite a few places. Up until this trip, skiing in Norway topped the list of the best places, but skiing through the Finnish wilderness has bumped it down to number 2.read more

Most memorable 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.read more

I can't decide which was my most memorable moment. I could say the ski along the border, the lunch breaks around the fire as well. For me the travel was very nice. Amazing food and excellent location all long the trip, very nice people (guides and others), breathe-taking landscapes. read more
