We booked the holiday through crystal ski, one thing I will mention is be careful of the wording on their website. Please note the annex double room with balcony is not in the main building, most of the photos you see on the Crystal website are of the suits, these rooms are in the main building which requires an upgrade. So if you are planning to book through Crystal ski make sure you are in full possession of the facts. We travelled from Gatwick airport and flew into Innsbruck airport which was a short flight. At Innsbruck it was very easy to spot the Crystal ski reps, who told us where to go and get our transfer, which was a small mini bus and the transfer time was about 2.30 hrs. The hotel check in was very easy and didn't take too long. We stayed in the main building in a junior suite with a balcony and the room was just perfect and what we needed, with an amazing view. The hotel is literally beside the Croda Rossa ski lift and from our room we could see the ski slope and lift. I booked my ski pass and ski hire through Crystal ski. The hotel has their ski hire shop in the main building down by the garage (the garage is massive). Ski pass you get from the ski lift about 10 metres from the hotel all very easy. The skiing is good with a good mix of blue and red runs, there is a good practice area right off the croda rossa ski lift. I found skiing better in the morning, when the sun was high, the snow down at the lower slopes would get slushy but still easy to ski on. The dri zinnen ski area is linked via chair lifts and or buses (take advantage of the bus pass they give you when you check in). The spa area is second to none and truly made the holiday that bit more special. I had a sports massage two days into our stay which being in my 50's helped out a lot the good lady had an individual massage. I would like to take the opportunity to thank the staff at the spa they are very good and put you at ease. The saunas which there are a few of, do require you to wear a towel which is provided (be aware some of our European neighbours don't feel the need to cover up) Also the indoor and outdoor pools are heated and are really nice to relax in plus there are areas in the spa to totally relax in too. When we arrived we were given a table for the rest of our stay at breakfast and dinner. The standard and variety of food at both breakfast and dinner was amazing and plenty of it. At breakfast there is a buffet and you can also cooked eggs. Dinner is buffet starter with dinner menu and dessert plus on the buffet they have more desserts and more food if you're still hungry. All in all we both really enjoyed our stay at bad moos and we will definitely be going back.
