Holiday information

 

A walking holiday in Mösern, Austrian Tyrol

Discover the Austrian Tyrol in style on this self-guided walking adventure, featuring one of the region’s finest hotels.

Set away from the crowds in tranquil Mösern, the Inntaler Hof has a front-row view over the Inn Valley – its forested slopes, dramatic peaks, and open meadows threaded together by the meandering River Inn. Staying here, you enjoy a superior hotel experience, with first-class spa facilities, a panoramic swimming pool, and the best of Tyrolean hospitality.
Both at the hotel and out on the trails, fabulous cuisine is a key ingredient of this holiday. Although peaceful and secluded, many of our recommended routes stop by an inviting mountain restaurant as they weave between lakes, woodland, and even cross into Germany via a spectacular ‘spirit’ gorge. There’s a great selection of hikes to choose from, and you can combine relaxed walking with history and culture by visiting the next-door town of Seefeld as well as beautiful Innsbruck – the fascinating capital of the Tyrol.

To see the region’s wildflowers at their best, travel between June and September when the crocuses, gentians, and wild narcissi are in bloom. Autumn, meanwhile, offers golden hues and crisper days – ideal for walking.
 

 

Itinerary

The key to Inntravel holidays is flexibility. You can start on the day of your choice, and are free to add extra nights. There’s no fixed itinerary, so take your pick of our suggested walking routes as the mood takes you.
  • The average maximum daytime temperatures and monthly rainfall relate to the nearest weather station and are intended as a guide only.

    The best time for alpine flowers is June and early July. At lower levels the flowers bloom slightly earlier.

  • Walking around Mösern
    With its excellent choice of hikes and beautiful setting amid the Wetterstein Mountains, Mösern makes an ideal base for your walking holiday in the Austrian Tyrol – whether you’re looking for gentle strolls or something slightly more challenging. Many routes begin from the village itself, but your visitor’s card gives you access to free local bus travel, making it easy both to access walks further afield and to adapt the trail lengths to your personal preferences.
  • Choice of routes: 3km to 10km
    Peace Bell Trail: 3km, 1.5hrs; ascent/descent 115m
    A perfect introductory walk, this short route ascends from your hotel to the Mösern Peace Bell. Weighing over 10 tons, this giant bell is rung at 5pm each day as an enduring symbol of peace and cooperation between different Alpine nations. Continue from the bell station up to Lake Möserer, which you can circle on foot before calling at Möserer Seestub’m, a restaurant right on the lakeshore. Return from here to your hotel.

    Seefeld circuit: 4.5km, 1.5hrs; ascent 100m/descent 110m Longer option (grade 1-2): 12.5km, 5hrs; additional ascent/descent 30m
    Mösern’s larger neighbour, Seefeld, is well worth a visit. Among its landmarks are the ‘Seekirchl’, a 17th-century church that originally stood in the middle of a lake, and the St. Oswald Parish Church with its striking frescoes and altarpiece. This walk links Mösern with Seefeld via meadows and forest, with the option either to return by bus or to hike back via the Gshwandtkopft mountain – where your efforts are rewarded by a glorious 360-degree panorama.

    Ropferstub’m: 5km, 2hrs; ascent/descent 155m
    The Ropferstub’m, a wonderfully situated mountain restaurant, is the target of this scenic walk. From Mösern, you traverse forested hillside, enjoying the extensive views that unfold over the Upper Inn Valley. Before your path descends to reach the Ropferstub’m, you pass Lottensee, a lake which appears periodically from beneath the earth’s surface. For your return route, journey back by bus or opt to retrace your steps (add 5km/2hrs if walking).

    Moos-Buchen-Katzenloch circuit: 7km, 2.5hrs; ascent/descent 190m
    Reached by bus, this highlight walk features high moorland, forest, and superb valley vistas. The landscape can feel remote at times, but there are two fantastic places to stop for refreshments: the Ropferstub’m restaurant (see previous route) and the Muggenmoos mountain hut. The return loop takes you via the atmospheric Katzenloch – an area that is thought to have taken its name from the lynx and wildcats that once roamed here.

    Leutaschklamm & Mittenwald*: 10km, 3hrs; ascent/descent 550m
    Beginning by bus to Reindlau, this route leads you through meadows and forests to the Leutaschklamm – a dramatic gorge where spirits are said to linger. You descend through the gorge on paths and walkways pinned to the rockface, then emerge into Germany to visit the small town of Mittenwald. Explore its colourful streets – where many of the oldest houses are decorated with frescoes –and perhaps pause for lunch before returning to Mösern by bus.
    *Not suitable for vertigo-sufferers.

    Leutaschklamm gorge
    Peace Bell Trail: 3km
    Leutaschklamm: 4km
  • Choice of routes: 3km to 12.5km


    Brunschkopf: 10.5km, 4hrs; ascent/descent 270m
    From the door of your hotel, enjoy a circular hike around the Brunschkopf mountain. This is a varied route, showcasing many of the area’s highlights: the Peace Bell; the small lake of Lottensee with its excellent mountain hut; and, of course, those sweeping Inn Valley vistas. As the route continues, you climb gently north to the beautifully located Wildmoosalm – another great spot for food and drink – before returning via woodland and Lake Möserer.

    Gaistal: 8.5km, 3.5hrs; ascent/descent 225m
    Accessed by bus, this beautiful out-and-back trail takes you along the Gaistal – a peaceful and secluded river valley. The route gently climbs, following the Leutascher Ache river, to reach the Gaistalalm, a traditional old farm building with restaurant. Although the valley gained some renown at the end of the 19th century thanks to the works of German author Ludwig Ganghofer, it remains unspoiled.

  • Visit Innsbruck

    Don’t miss the opportunity to visit Innsbruck, the ‘city at the heart of the Alps’. Trains run regularly from nearby Seefeld (pay locally) and, once in the city, we provide a self-guided walking tour to show you around.

    Habsburg emperor Maximilian I ruled from Innsbruck in the late 15th century and his legacy is everywhere – from the astonishing Goldenes Dachl (a covered balcony clad in 2,657 gilded copper tiles) to the Cenotaph (an empty tomb surrounded by 28 impressive statues). Other grand monuments include the onion-domed City Tower and the impressive Hofburg Palace, whose Giants’ Hall is probably the most opulent room in the whole of the Alps.

Accommodation

Your hotel is located towards the edge of Mösern – a quiet mountain village with just a handful of shops and one café. There is a much wider range of shops, cafés, and restaurants in the nearby town of Seefeld.

Please note: most beds in Austrian hotels are normally one large base with two mattresses/duvets. We refer to these as 'Austrian Twins' and they are locally regarded to serve requests for both double and twin-bedded rooms. Separate twin beds or traditional double beds with one large mattress are rare and cannot be guaranteed.

    This list of flight options should be used as a guide only, and you should check each airline’s website for current routes, frequency and schedules. Not all flights operate daily, and may not run for the entire season. You should also heed the latest flight arrival time and earliest flight departure time stated in the connecting travel section, as it may not be possible to arrange connecting travel outside these times. Please do not book your flights until we have confirmed your accommodation to you. Alternatively, our expert reservations team will be happy to offer advice and to make flight bookings for you for any of the options listed above. We charge £35 per person for our flight booking service. Your flights are then covered by our package-booking conditions, which give you greater protection in the event of delay or cancellation, as well as providing ATOL cover.

  • Prices below are based on 2 people travelling together. If you are travelling solo or as a party of 3 or more and our arrangements include a taxi, please contact us for prices; additional passengers often pay less.

    Unless otherwise stated, connecting travel by rail or bus tends to be from the city centre station, rather than from its airport, and connections between the two should be paid for locally.

    Where a price range is given, the price you pay depends on your date of travel.

FAQs

If you have any questions relating to this or any other Inntravel holiday, our friendly travel experts will be happy to help. You might also find our General FAQs section helpful.
  • Yes, prior to going on holiday you will be able to download GPX tracks so that you can follow your route on your smartphone or dedicated GPS device if you wish. It’s entirely up to you whether or not you use them – our detailed, step-by-step route notes remain the principal means of guiding you from A to B – but we provide them as a secondary means of navigation for additional reassurance when walking.
  • We can book a wide range of routes from the UK with a variety of airlines. As well as being more convenient for you to book all elements of your holiday together, it also means that we’ll accept liability for your travel arrangements, so if things go wrong, such as the airline going bust, we’ll make suitable alternative arrangements for you. The fee for this service is £35 per person (£15 for children aged 2-11). More information on flights >
  • Absolutely! We are experts in tailored rail travel. Making use of sleeper trains or stopovers in cities along the route, we can get you from London to virtually anywhere in mainland Europe. We can even make arrangements to Mallorca, Sicily and Norway with a combination of ferries and rail. Please contact us to discuss your plans.
  • We can’t book flights that originate outside the UK, but if you wanted to book your own flights to London (or elsewhere in the UK), we can make all onward travel arrangements (including flights) from there. Alternatively, if you are booking your own flights to an airport in continental Europe that’s appropriate for your holiday, we can book onward rail travel and/or taxis. More information about how we can tailor holidays for customers outside the UK >
  • Since our holidays are self-guided, we recommend calling us for a chat about your plans before making a booking, especially if it’s the first time you’ve booked with us.
    The price panel shows the supplement for a single room and also the single traveller charge (this covers (luggage) transfers and other costs which are usually shared between two people).
  • Once you’ve decided on your exact itinerary (our travel experts will be happy to offer advice), you need to provide us with your party’s details, either by phone or via our booking form. At this point we also ask you to pay a deposit so that we can secure a room for you immediately on confirming availability with the hotel(s). If it turns out that we can’t secure the accommodation for the holiday you’ve requested, or offer an acceptable alternative, we’ll refund your deposit promptly and in full. After booking your accommodation and other key elements, we'll then book your travel (or you can do so if you’re making your own arrangements) and send you a Booking Confirmation and Invoice.

  • Yes, it’s something we insist on, even for holidays in the UK. The vast majority of holidays go smoothly, but when things go wrong, it can be expensive to put them right. Buying a new pair of walking boots after your suitcase is stolen mightn’t seem so bad, but the bill for being airlifted down from a mountain with a broken leg or flown home while still recovering from an illness or accident can incur a five or six-figure bill.

    Many insurers offer travel insurance (you can find details on our insurance page of a policy that you may like to consider if you are a UK resident), but you do need to make sure that you’re covered for medical emergencies – including falling ill with Covid-19 while on holiday – and repatriation. We also recommend that you are covered for other eventualities, such as cancellation and loss of luggage and passports.

    When you purchase a policy, be sure to check that it covers the activities you'll be doing on holiday and that it is adequate for your own individual needs.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure you are in possession of the correct travel documents, with the correct validity. If you’re a UK citizen, you need a full British passport to travel to Austria, but not a visa (please note, however, that a new travel authorisation system is being introduced). If you are a citizen of another country, you’ll need to check requirements with the national embassy or your own consulate.

    Current information regarding vaccinations and travel health advice for UK citizens can be found through the Travel Health Pro website. You must make sure you have adequate insurance cover for illness, accidents and repatriation (see the insurance question). You should also apply for a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) if your EHIC has expired (if you have a still-valid EHIC, you can use this until it expires).
  • (Austrian) German is the most commonly spoken language. The currency is the Euro. Austrian time is GMT/UTC + 1. It uses Daylight Saving Time, so in summer is on BST + 1.
  • For information on the practicalities of travel now that the UK is no longer part of the European Union, visit www.gov.uk/visit-eu-switzerland-norway-iceland-liechtenstein.
  • The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) provides up-to-date, country-by-country travel advice, as well as information on security, local laws, passports and visas for UK citizens.

    If you live outside the UK, see our essential travel information page for a list of relevant websites.
  • You are the best judge of your child’s/children’s capabilities. We are happy to take bookings for families of older children/teenagers if they walk regularly, love the outdoors and are comfortable with the distances and ascent/descent involved. Please note that the bedrooms at most of the accommodation we use will normally only sleep a maximum of 3 people, and sometimes only 2.
