The Location

Mösern, Seefeld Plateau, Tyrol, Austria

Nidum Casual Luxury Hotel is located in Mösern, a hamlet on the edge of the Seefeld plateau in Tyrol, high above the Inntal Valley.

With Nidum’s isolated location on the Seefeld Plateau comes stellar views of the Inn Valley and Tyrolean Alps, tremendous peace, and a sense of exclusivity.

Though Nidum Hotel feels a world apart from bustling “urban” areas, it’s only a 5-minute drive to the town center of Seefeld, a 30-minute drive to Innsbruck, a 25-minute drive to Mittenwald, and a 40-minute drive to Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

The best way to experience Nidum Casual Luxury Hotel and its breathtaking surroundings is with your own car. A rental car will enable you to get to the trailheads at Gaistal Valley, Leutasch, Scharnitz, Mittenwald, and other destinations.

On days where you’d rather not drive, you can walk from the hotel to Möserer See and Brunschkopf. Consult this three lakes trail guide.

During our stay, we hiked the sensational Rotmoosalm – Wetterstein Hut Circuit Trail, starting in Gaistal Valley. We also walked through the Leutasch Gorge from Schanz.

During our next visit, we hope to hike to Meilerhütte (mountain hut), Predigtstuhl (peak), and Seefelder Spitze (peak).

If you visit in winter, you can explore Seefeld’s 245 kilometers of cross-country ski trails. You can purchase a cross-country ski ticket for the Seefeld region at the reception.

NIDUM Wellness and Spa

The Nidum spa offers a wide range of massage and beauty treatments. You can book all desired treatments at the spa desk.

Like most hotels in the Austrian Alps, the wellness area is divided into a textile zone and a textile-free zone.

The textile zone comprises the indoor-outdoor pool and terrace, the fitness room, yoga-stretching room, and the tea room with a generous selection of teas and candied dried fruit (which ought to be replaced with natural dried fruit, in our humble opinion).

The textile-free zone comprises the sauna area, made-up of 3 indoor saunas (steam, Finnish, and saunarium), 1 outdoor Finnish sauna, an outdoor whirlpool, an outdoor plunge pool, and an indoor relaxation area and showers.

We particularly loved the panoramic views from the outdoor pool and whirlpool. We also enjoyed the candle-lit ambience in the evening.

In addition to the main wellness area, there’s also a natural bathing pool, set between the forest and meadow behind the hotel.

The biggest drawback to the spa area is the insufficient relaxation space in the sauna area. It felt a bit cramped. This is likely a non-issue during the warmer months, when people are more inclined to lounge outside.

Dinner

Apart from our forest- and mountain-facing room, our favorite part about our stay at Nidum Casual Luxury Hotel was the divine half board dinner. What a treat!!

You can order egg dishes at the egg station.

In addition, there’s an entire room dedicated to juicing. You can make freshly squeezed orange juice, or a vegetable-fruit concoction of your choosing using the readily available lemons, limes, apples, cucumbers, carrots, celery, and ginger.

Coffee and tea are served to the table.

The hotel staff are extremely diligent in refilling and replenishing all the plates throughout breakfast.

Though the breakfast is more than adequate, the buffet area is rather small and can feel a bit cramped. I know this is flawed-American thinking in most cases, but sometimes bigger is truly better.
