Hotel Drei Zinnen, Moso

Moso is a very good base for a snow holiday. The hotel is welcoming and comfortable, the staff are charming and the food is outstanding. There is easy access to walks and ski trails, and the included bus / train pass is really useful. Couple of tips:
1. If you have emerged from the bowels of the hotel with skis, the bus stops outside / oposite the Hairdresser's on the Fischleintal road are handy
2. If you do the Klammbachalm walk (and it's worth it), it is only a further hour to walk back down to Moso on an attractive multi-use track rather than catch the bus
3. From Toblach, instead of doing a circuit from the bottom, I caught the 445 bus from Toblach station up to Im Gemark and skied the whole way back down (about 16km). It was a lovely trail and the additional height made the most of the rather poor snow.
4. Ice grippers for walking boots were essential for the condition of the walking trails, especially for those places where the ice is cunningly concealed under pine needles!

An excellent holiday in such a beautiful area. There is something for every age and ability - downhill skiing, cross country, snowboarding and winter walking. The Hotel Drei Zinnen is a gem with such friendly staff and super food.

Train travel was a real highlight. Waking up as the sleeper pulled into Munich was a thrill; we were not far from Innsbruck! A walk to the Talschlusshutte, whether using the bus or through the snowy meadow from Moso is a must. We sat in the cosy hut drinking Darjeeling tea and eating wafers to fortify us for the delightful stroll back to our hotel.

We were blessed with good weather and when we took the Drei Zinnen gondola up to the heights and looked around under bright blue skies the effect was magical. The surrounding snow covered peaks were sublime and the walk down, which also embraced a wonderful goulash soup whilst sitting outside a mountain cabin, will not be easily forgotten.

We thoroughly enjoyed the holiday and found different places to go and different things to do from last year. We can also thoroughly recommend a coffee shop that we found in Moos. The Cafe Kofler (turn down behind the church and head to the edge of the village past the school) serves the most wonderful range of delicious cakes. They don't speak much English but you can always point - if you can decide which one to choose. The hot chocolate at the base of the Rotwand gondola is also delicious and highly recommended.

Lovely choice of walking routes around Moos. And the free snowshoe guided walk was superb. The food at the Dreizinnen hotel isn’t as wonderful as some we've stayed in (Pertisau, for instance), but the hotel's staff, both in the restaurant, and behind the front desk, are superb. 

Hotel Drei Zinnen is a well run family hotel with exceptional staff and a great atmosphere.

An excellent hotel in every respect - comfortable, relaxed ambience in a beautiful location, friendly, welcoming staff and superb food. The weather was perfect and we walked every day in brilliant cold sunshine on some lovely trails. Would love to visit agian.......

We found that our stay at Hotel Drei Zinnen was one of the best winter holidays we've had over 30 years. Stunning scenery, warm hospitality, superb food and varied winter activities.  

Moso and the Hotel Drei Zinnen was a fantastic place to spend Christmas. The snow was perfect, and snowshoeing for the first time, in deep snow, was a great way to enjoy the scenery at a slow pace. The skiiing was great too, with authentic local food in the mountain huts - a few dumplings do make you go faster after lunch! The staff at the Hotel Drei Zinnen couldn't have been more welcoming, and the lighting of the candles and sparklers(!) on the Christmas tree was a highlight.
Venice made a fanatistic contrast for the second half of our holiday and made it feel much longer than a week away. We loved just walking the alleys, taking in the views, sampling the cicchetti and wine in numerous welcoming bars.

Inntravel note: This customer added on a stay in Venice to their 'Snow' holiday.

The hotel was excellent with a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and provided an efficient service. The food was excellent. The scenery was superb made all the more spectacular by the lovely sunny weather.  

Frau Watschinger runs a tight but happy ship, we thought. She has a keen eye on all aspects of the running her hotel, and she and all her staff are all welcoming, friendly and very competent. The hotel seems to run with no effort, and like clockwork. It is very impressive and enjoyable. She offers a very large range of 'extras' like apples ad lib, and cake in the afternoon, which are welcome. The sun terrace is lovely. The food, both breakfast and dinner, are very generous and superbly cooked and presented. It is impossible for us to offer sensible suggestions for improvement. It was a pleasure each day to come back to the hotel. Please thank frau Watschinger again on our behalf. 

We had a very enjoyable week walking, and our best walk was not included in your suggestions. It was - ski lift to Stiergarten Klammbachalm, Alpe Nimes. There are two options from there. Short - to Kreuzbergpass, and long but downhill back to Moos mostly on path 13. This is a superb walk and deserves inclusion in your notes.

Everything went without a hitch both out and back.

The scenery is wonderful and the available walks were well chosen to allow this to be fully enjoyed. The staff in the hotel really helped to make this a very enjoyable stay. They were unfailingly pleasant and efficient. The hotel meals were excellent and plentiful.

After travel delays caused by airport fog and rail engineering works, it was a delight to arrive for a warm welcome at this excellent hotel with its superb cuisine and friendly efficient service. We were pleased to have paid extra for a quieter south-facing room away from the road. The exceptionally warm weather for the area meant that snow melted during the day and froze at night leaving low level paths very icy for winter walking: yaktraks or boot studs were essential for safe walking and can be purchased locally if you have forgotten yours (as we did!). 

Lovely hotel in a great position. Excellent food and service and so friendly. What's not to like?

A perfect valley for cross country skiing at all levels, excellent walking and very good mountain restaurants. 

Moso was an outstanding destination for winter walking, offering some of the best scenery I have seen in the Alps, in thirty years of winter holidays.

We did have wonderful weather and this made the scenery particularly spectacular. Sitting outside in the sun at the various lunch stops was a real highlight - wish we'd picked up a sledge at the bottom of the walk up to Drei Schuster Hutte to sledge back down. Each day we had a nice routine of tea, whirlpool, sauna at hotel and the evening meals were delicious. The hotel had a lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. The free travel pass was much appreciated with buses and trains every half hour.

If you want a gastronomic week go for it! Unless you are prepared to take 2 hours between hotel and the Nordic Arena where the trails are, try to stay in Dobbacio. The area around Moso is more suited to downhill skiing. The village itself has a very narrow Main Street, difficult to walk along because of the icy pavements and not a lot to explore except a couple of souvenir shops.

We walked every day, a different walk on each occasion and enjoyed every one of them. The scenery was stunning - we were blest with lovely sunny weather on most days and the effect of a substantial recent snowfall enhanced the scenery even more and made photography a delight. If you had to pick out one particular walk it would have to be the Innerfeldtal. All the refreshment huts we visited were excellent and reasonably priced.

Some fantastic walks particularly up both the Fischliental and Innerfeldtal valleys - both of which have excellent Huttes serving delicious meals and deserts. The walk from the Kreuzbergpass to Coltrondo Alm and then to Alpe Nemes Alme is fantastic for the changes in vegetation, views and the variety of slopes. Well worth while walking back to Moso. Scenery superb with fresh snow, sun and blue sky.

One of our top Inntravel experiences (of about 16 now!). The area seems largely unpopulated by UK tourists: surprising, as the scenery, the hotel, the walking and local facilities were all excellent. The Dolomites have to be the most spectacular and scary-looking mountains in the Alps, and you get wonderful views from all the walks. We can imagine repeating this holiday, in winter or in summer. The local cultural mix is also fascinating, and offers an informative lesson in European history, especially of the last 120 years. Linguists need to be prepared to offer greetings in either German or Italian: any or all of buon giorno/salve/guten tag/grüssgott might do - 'hello' was easiest!

This was one of our best winter holidays! We had wonderful weather, two spectacular snowstorms, great hotels, delicious food and outstanding walking. See you next year...

INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers combined two of our winter holidays: one in Italy at Hotel Drei Zinnen, Moso, and one in Austria at Hotel Kristall, Weidach

Wonderful walking holiday in a very picturesque valley in the Dolomites. Quiet and peaceful yet easy access to other close valleys and their cable cars, ski slopes and walking trails. Delightful hotel with welcoming and helpful staff. The food was excellent and the kitchen was admirable in dealing with my gluten free requirements.
