What are the spa treatments at Moseralm Dolomiti Hideaway?
A wellness holiday at Moseralm Dolomiti Hideaway offers lasting relaxation – not only thanks to our unique location in the heart of the Dolomites, but above all through revitalising, nurturing and balancing massages and treatments. But what massage types do we offer? And what makes a luxury spa treatment so effective?
We’ll explain what our spa treatments are and how they work:

Sports Massage
These intensive treatments focus on releasing deep muscle tension and promoting recovery after physical exertion. They are therefore ideal for sports enthusiasts who love spending their holiday exploring the wide range of outdoor activities around Moseralm.

Hot Stone Massage
Hot basalt stones, heated to 50°C, are placed along the body’s energy centres to ease muscle tension and create a profound sense of wellbeing. This ancient practice is perfect for reducing stress and improving circulation.

Singing Bowl Massage
Highly recommended for back tension, this treatment uses the harmonic sounds and vibrations of Tibetan singing bowls placed on the body to induce deep relaxation and inner calm. It positively enhances overall wellbeing.

Herbal Stamp Massage
In this treatment, the body is massaged with specially prepared herbal pouches to stimulate detoxification processes while nourishing the skin through improved circulation and opened pores. The soothing aroma of the herbs further enhances the relaxing experience.

Lymphatic Drainage
Gentle, rhythmic movements stimulate lymph flow, helping the body eliminate toxins efficiently and reduce swelling. This technique supports detoxification at every stage of life and is also recommended during pregnancy.

Shirodhara (Forehead Oil Flow)
This technique comes from Ayurveda, the traditional Indian medicine. It involves a special, oil-filled vessel with a small opening at the bottom that is placed over the head so that a steady stream of warm oil flows over the forehead. It calms the nervous system and promotes mental clarity and focus.

Baths & Hay Baths
Enjoy the relaxing effects of water, warmth and precious oils, salts, milk or blossoms in a spacious tub within a private spa area – alone or as a couple. A glass of Prosecco and fresh fruit provide the perfect finishing touch.
A hay bath – reinterpreted here in a warm waterbed – allows you to enjoy the healing effects of alpine herbs. This treatment strengthens the immune system and relieves stress.

Fango & Body Wraps
High-quality treatments that envelop the body and provide intense wellbeing. Applying rich skincare products helps relax muscles and detoxify the body. Special variations such as algae or mud wraps are tailored to individual needs.

Scrubs & Masks
While facial masks restore firmness and deliver a radiant complexion thanks to their active ingredients, scrubs gently cleanse and renew the skin. Suitable for both face and body, a scrub removes dead skin cells efficiently thanks to its granular texture, leaving the skin irresistibly soft.

Gua Sha & Cupping
These traditional Asian techniques promote circulation and detoxification while relieving tension through targeted stimulation of the skin. Gua Sha involves gentle scraping with a porcelain or gemstone tool, while cupping uses small glass cups that are placed on the skin using negative pressure. The suction effect on the skin helps with deep relaxation.

TENS Electrotherapy
The use of mild electrical impulses for pain relief and muscle stimulation is an advanced method widely used in modern therapy, delivering measurable results. The application is simple, using electrodes placed on the body.

Cleansing & Detox Treatments
Whether for the face or as a luxury spa treatment, detox treatments focus on cleansing and purification. Various approaches revitalise the body from within, enhancing wellbeing and boosting everyday energy. For many, when they think of what spa treatments are, they think of detox.

Couple Treatments
Enjoy wellness experiences together with your partner. Popular options include side-by-side massages or combination packages featuring massages, baths and shared time in a private spa area – the perfect blend of relaxation and romance.

Beauty Treatments
Looking good and feeling good go hand in hand. That’s why we also offer individual manicures, pedicures, hair removal, as well as eyebrow and eyelash care – completing the wellness experience and leaving you glowing from head to toe.
