ROBERTO MILANI<br />
People like coming to Roberto Milani.<br />
A session with him leaves them feeling<br />
deeply relaxed and satisfied. He is the<br />
spa manager at Bad Moos, responsible<br />
for over 2,000 square metres of pure<br />
well-being. Roberto started as a masseur<br />
in 2014, meaning that he worked with<br />
the unforgettable late owner Erwin<br />
Lanzinger. Over the years, he completed<br />
several additional training courses<br />
and eventually became the head<br />
of the entire spa area, overseeing its<br />
continuous improvement and expansion.<br />
In Roberto’s world, a lot revolves around<br />
water. And not just any water, but water<br />
from the hotel’s own St. Valentin’s spring.<br />
“We use the water in three different<br />
ways: First, for the drinking cure, using<br />
various springs around the hotel, then<br />
for steam baths for inhalation and to<br />
strengthen the respiratory tract in the<br />
Bagno Turco. Thermal baths are the<br />
third application; they strengthen the<br />
skin and hair and also the muscles.” The<br />
spring water has also been found to help<br />
with psoriasis.<br />
Naturally, someone like Roberto, who<br />
has so much to do with health and<br />
well-being, is also active in his free time.<br />
“I love to hike in the area and unwind<br />
while doing so. When you grow up in<br />
the mountains like I did, surrounded by<br />
beautiful nature, you appreciate it. And<br />
there are so many beautiful places here.”<br />

The Three Peaks, with their azure blue sky, lush green Alpine meadows, and<br />
gleaming white dolomite rock, are a remarkably beautiful sight and have<br />
been captured in thousands of pictures. Mountain enthusiasts have always<br />
been drawn to the three craggy peaks – known as the Cima Piccola/Kleine<br />
Zinne (small peak), Cima Occidentale/Westliche Zinne (western peak),<br />
and Cima Grande/ Große Zinne (big peak). Climbers have been seeking<br />
out the 2,999m Cima Grande/Große Zinne since the first ascent in 1869,<br />
making the mountain massif one of the most popular destinations in the<br />
Alps. But the UNESCO World Heritage site is not just for experienced<br />
climbers; an easy circular hike takes you through the 11-hectare Three<br />
Peaks Nature Park in just four hours, allowing you to experience its scenic<br />
uniqueness and magical beauty up close.<br />

10 USEFUL TIPS FOR<br />
PROSPECTIVE MOUNTAINEERS<br />
20
SO THAT YOU CAN CONC<strong>EN</strong>TRATE<br />
ON WHAT MATTERS,<br />
HERE ARE OUR MOST<br />
IMPORTANT TIPS:<br />
1. Choose a suitable tour for your fitness level and the time of year.<br />
2. Familiarise yourself with the route: Get maps and tips.<br />
3. Check the weather conditions and remember that mountain weather<br />
can change quickly.<br />
4. Bring plenty of provisions: Dried fruit, nuts, bananas, and wholegrain<br />
bread provide energy.<br />
5. Refreshing water or warming tea is essential for staying hydrated.<br />
6. Wear suitable footwear with a non-slip sole that gives you support<br />
and protects you from injury.<br />
7. Choose clothes that give you freedom of movement, keep you warm<br />
or cool enough, and are breathable.<br />
8. Dress according to the onion principle: With many layers. For the<br />
bottom layer, it’s best to wear Merino wool or dry-fit material.<br />
9. Set off early on your hike: The mountains can be dangerous after<br />
sundown.<br />
10. Respect nature, i.e. dispose of rubbish at home, avoid noise, and<br />
respect plants and wildlife.<br />
PS: MAKE SURE YOU SAVE THE EMERG<strong>EN</strong>CY NUMBER IN YOUR<br />
PHONE AND INFORM AT LEAST ONE PERSON OF YOUR EXACT<br />
ITINERARY AS A PRECAUTION.<br />

CLASSICS<br />

GIOVANNI TOGNI<br />
Giovanni Togni, the head chef at Bad<br />
Moos since 2021, has a passion for<br />
combining modernity with tradition. He<br />
grew up in Lombardy and loves to treat<br />
guests to a blend of tempting Alpine<br />
and Mediterranean delicacies after an<br />
eventful day. “Take bread dumplings,<br />
for example, you don’t always have to<br />
enhance them with speck, liver, or cheese.<br />
Spinach, pumpkin, or mushrooms are<br />
also very complementary,” says Giovanni.<br />
Giovanni takes pride in his Feel Good<br />
menus, which consist of well-balanced<br />
meals made with high-quality ingredients<br />
that do not put unnecessary strain on<br />
the digestive system. You’ll feel the<br />
effects of this healthy eating in no time,<br />
experiencing a new sense of lightness.<br />
“Pamper yourself with healthy, natural,<br />
and high-quality ingredients to improve<br />
your quality of life,” suggests Giovanni.<br />
Many of the wholesome ingredients<br />
come from local farmers. At Bad Moos,<br />
we have been working with producers<br />
from the surrounding area for many years,<br />
building mutual trust. The chef is also<br />
a keen mushroom forager and enjoys<br />
summer hikes and winter skiing and ski<br />
tours as a way to relax from his work in<br />
the kitchen. “We also live in a privileged<br />
location here; we have everything on<br />
our doorstep,” he says. So, what are his<br />
favourite dishes? “The classics that have<br />
never gone out of fashion. Barley soup,<br />
Gröstl – a speck, onion, and potato fryup<br />
– and kraut, those are among my<br />
personal favourites.”<br />

DID YOU<br />
KNOW...<br />
... that farmers used to sleep on a bed<br />
of hay after a long day’s work? This<br />
was not only comfortable but also<br />
incredibly relaxing due to the herbs<br />
in the hay. The scent and essential<br />
oils of these herbs, activated by body<br />
heat, helped to clear the respiratory<br />
tract, reduce stress, and boost the<br />
immune system. A real treat for body<br />
and mind.<br />
49
True luxury comes from embracing<br />
nature’s wellness and well-being<br />
offerings. Here at Bad Moos, it is<br />
not only the magnificent views of<br />
the most beautiful mountains in the<br />
world that make you look radiant<br />
but also the exclusive treatments<br />
and therapies in the Soma & Anima<br />
Spa. Our use of essential oils, herbal<br />

TIP FOR AT<br />

Do you wake up to puffy eyes and<br />
dark circles every morning? Is your<br />
skin dry and dull? Try drinking a<br />
large glass of lukewarm water on<br />
an empty stomach to start your<br />
day. This will not only replenish<br />
your body’s moisture levels, which<br />
are depleted overnight, but also<br />
improve your digestion and many<br />
other bodily functions. It’s like a<br />
miracle cure!<br />

CARLO DI GIOIA<br />
Meet Carlo di Gioia, affectionately<br />
known as Charlie to our guests. He is<br />
an expert in all things beautiful. Erwin<br />
Lanzinger hired him in 2014 to design<br />
the new spa area at Bad Moos. Carlo<br />
soon became a highly esteemed sauna<br />
expert and the inventor of the Danza<br />
Aromatica. “Danza is a special form of<br />
infusion that involves lower temperatures,<br />
which create a warmer and more<br />
comforting experience for the body. To<br />
add to the ambience, classical music<br />
and film music with legendary works by<br />
Ennio Morricone are played, creating a<br />
special harmony,” he reveals.<br />
For the spring to autumn period, when<br />
more guests are drawn to the outdoors,<br />
Charlie organised a wide variety of outdoor<br />
activities. These include popular<br />
excursions, such as that to the Locatelli<br />
mountain hut at the base of the Three<br />
Peaks, as well as lesser-known trails like<br />
the one leading up to Monte Casella.<br />
Charlie’s outdoor programmes have<br />
now expanded to be available throughout<br />
the year and offer a wider variety of<br />
options than ever before. Some of the<br />
newer offerings include snowmobile rides<br />
to view the sunrise at the Three Peaks,<br />
tobogganing with a stop at a mountain<br />
hut, and helicopter tours to explore the<br />
Dolomites. Charlie is passionate about<br />
helping people forget the stress of the<br />
everyday and indulge in the pleasures<br />
of life. As a certified wine and cheese<br />
sommelier, he knows exactly how to live<br />
life to the fullest.<br />

FROM A SMALL FARM<br />
BATHHOUSE TO A<br />
MODERN WELLNESS<br />
C<strong>EN</strong>TRE.<br />
The bathing springs at Bad Moos have been a popular<br />
destination for over 350 years. The first bathhouse was<br />
built in 1800, but it experienced its boom in the 19th<br />
century when tourism took hold of Val Pusteria/Pustertal.<br />
At the beginning of the 20th century, the stately inn<br />
offered bathing and drinking cures from three springs,<br />

Dr Erwin Lanzinger, a true pioneer of tourism in Alta<br />

ARRIVING AT BAD<br />
MOOS IS LIKE<br />
COMING HOME<br />

BRIGITTE MAIR<br />
Brigitte Mair has been part of Bad<br />
Moos for over 40 years. The Sexten<br />
native started as a receptionist at<br />
the age of 17. Today she manages the<br />
reception and has a lot to do in the back<br />
office. Despite her busy schedule, she still<br />
interacts with guests, bringing a wealth<br />
of experience to the table.<br />
Over time, a lot has changed, and many<br />
things have happened. “The hotel has<br />
grown significantly since its early days<br />
as a sports hotel. It has been enlarged<br />
and improved, and the Mühlenhof was<br />
added across the street,” she recalls.<br />
While some may reminisce about the<br />
good old days, many things have also<br />
improved. Over the years, the hotel has<br />
welcomed numerous holidaymakers<br />
who have become regulars and even<br />
friends. “You get to know the guests; you<br />
know what is important to them, what<br />
special wishes they have,” says Brigitte<br />
Mair. Based on this knowledge, Brigitte<br />
and her colleagues prepare everything<br />
accordingly. “It is important to us that<br />
our guests feel welcome and that their<br />
arrival feels like a homecoming,” she<br />
adds.<br />
Many guests come to Bad Moos to<br />
recover from the stress of everyday<br />
life. The more demanding their lives<br />
are at home, the more important it is to<br />
have an oasis like Bad Moos as a place<br />
of retreat. The unique combination of<br />
nature, outdoor experiences, wellness,<br />
comfort, and exceptional cuisine works<br />
wonders against stress. Even if the<br />
journey was tiring, arriving at Bad Moos<br />
feels like coming home and provides<br />
solace for body and soul.<br />

WE PAY ATT<strong>EN</strong>TION<br />
TO DETAIL.<br />
EVERYWHERE<br />
AND ALWAYS.<br />
Legend has it that during the full moon,<br />
two deer would come to drink from the<br />
Bad Moos sulphur water spring. They<br />
grew to become the strongest and largest<br />
in the area. Unfortunately, conflict and<br />
chaos drove them away, leaving only<br />
the resort’s logo as a reminder of their<br />
once-mighty presence. However, almost<br />
two decades ago, we made a joyous<br />
discovery: The deer have returned and<br />
are happily roaming the forests around<br />
our spring once again.<br />
A CONCEPT IN<br />
WHICH EVERYTHING<br />
FLOWS TOGETHER<br />
66
At Bad Moos, water is our source of<br />
strength and inspiration, whether it’s<br />
bubbling from our sulphur spring or<br />
forming snow crystals on the surrounding<br />
mountains. We’ve embraced this element<br />
wholeheartedly, which is why we’ve<br />
chosen “Aqua Spa Resort” as our new<br />
tagline. By emphasising water as our<br />
core competency, we aim to convey the<br />
rejuvenation and relaxation that you’ll<br />
experience during your stay with us.<br />

FROM THE HEART<br />

Since its reopening in 2005, our hotel<br />
has undergone significant changes. Not<br />
only have external factors evolved, but<br />
we have also witnessed changes in travel<br />
trends and guest demands. Despite<br />
our growth, holiday durations have<br />
shortened, and people now often want<br />
to experience more in less time.<br />
Many people are drawn to South<br />
Tyrol’s unique blend of Alpine and<br />
Mediterranean flair. At Bad Moos Aqua<br />
Spa Resort, we share this appreciation<br />
and have always aimed to provide a<br />
holiday experience that embodies both<br />
the welcoming atmosphere of South<br />
Tyrol and the relaxed ambience of the<br />
Mediterranean.<br />
Most people dream of spending a few<br />
carefree days away from their busy<br />
schedules – and we provide just that.<br />
With us, they can immerse themselves<br />
in a world of soothing relaxation,<br />
unforgettable activities, a comfortable<br />
ambience, and exquisite culinary delights.<br />
Everyone can be exactly who they are<br />
here – no ifs or buts. A holiday of pure<br />
freedom.<br />
