The history and tradition of Hotel Bad Moos in Sesto

The Sport & Kurhotel Bad Moos in Alta Pusteria is one of few houses in South Tyrol that possesses a curing license: the Sport & Kurhotel Bad Moos, committed to tradition, yet open to modernity.

For two decades we have now been able to offer cures under medical supervision in Hotel Bad Moos.

The bathing tradition in Bad Moos dates back to 1765. The bathing sources have been known since at least 1650. Around 1800 a wooden bathing house, which was later replaced by a stone construction, was built. The bathing facility was then mainly frequented by women, since this water rich in minerals was believed to stimulate fertility.

At the beginning of the 20th Century, Bad Moos was an impressive bathing guest house, which offered bathing and drinking cures from three different water sources: the sulphur source, which is a recognized mineral water source today, an eye source and stomach water.

Whilst the last two are no longer known, the sulphur water is still used for baths in the Sport & Kurhotel Bad Moos.

This water is used in many forms for treatments in the Wellness and Health Centre "SPA BAD MOOS".
