Under the spell of the mountains in the historic property of ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI discover the true flavour of a luxurious skiing holiday.

Before you hit the slopes, enjoy a lavish breakfast that will satiate your appetite until dinnertime, with a buffet of fruits, Tyrolean yoghurt-soaked mueslis, pastries, charcuterie, cheese, smoked fish, a juice bar, and live cooking stations where you can watch your morning pancakes and eggs being prepared.

Located in the heart of the DOLOMITI Superski, a wonderland of pistes, and a new three-mile long slope, ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI is the ideal place for beginner enthusiasts and also veteran ski whizzes alike.

From the resort you can enjoy guided ski trips, ski safaris, and guided winter walks, and you can further hone your ski skills at Ortisei Ski School, which is suitable for all ages and skill levels.

Right next to this elevated resort lies two of the Superki’s 450 state-of-the-art ski lifts, so you’re immediately connected to arguably the best skiing in Italy. This includes Sellaronda, one of the world’s best-known ski routes, which is linked by a modern and electric-powered underground escalator.

There’s nothing like a good meal to warm you up after a day on the slopes – and ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI delivers in more ways than one.

While you’re on the piste, the kitchen team, headed up by Head Chef Martino Longo work tirelessly to create authentic dishes that pay homage to the local heritage of South Tyrol but that also highlights the best of Mediterranean cuisine also.

After a cocktail or a tisane of mountain herbs, tuck into a meal that reflects the seasons – from an extravagant five or six-course meal with buffet-style starters and desserts to an inspired à la carte menu.

Not only are meals delicious, but they are very much farm-to-table, served up with naturally fresh, quality ingredients from nearby organic farms.

Did you know that of the 450 cheese varieties in the world, 90 are produced in South Tyrol? The rich pastures at the foot of Mount Sciliar are grazed by the native grey cows to create a unique aromatic mountain cheese – and that’s just one of many specialities you can devour.

Feast on hearty mountain fayre such as chanterelle strudel and Tyrolean dumplings with beetroot, radicchio and gorgonzola followed by apple strudel or a decadent crème-brulée with chocolate croquant.

The resort attends to all dietary requirements and has separate menus for vegetarians and children.

To top off your evening, sip on a bottle from the resort’s remarkable wine cellar, which showcases local producers from South Tyrol and Italy, as well as international wineries.

Even if you’re more a foodie than a skier then worry not, ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI offers several other winter activities upon request and at an extra cost, including snowshoeing, tobogganing, and horse carriage rides in the Alpe di Siusi. Or you can simply unwind with an unrivalled wellness experience within the expansive AGUANA Water World.

If you are a true foodie and keen to follow the farm-to-table journey, why not ask reception to arrange a visit to the farms that supply the home-grown delights featuring on the menu.
