For many decades, ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI has remained a well-kept secret, but as interest in the heady joy of the Italian Dolomites rises, this five-star resort is receiving attention from guests worldwide.

Set in the heart of the verdant Val Gardena region, this exclusive alpine resort is the oldest property of the ADLER Group and was built around a typical 19th-century Tyrolean guesthouse.

You can embrace a holiday with health and wellness at its core by diving into the impressive spa and tucking into hearty cuisine that features fresh and local seasonal vegetables like white asparagus! This is all served set against the backdrop of heart-stirring panoramas of the Dolomites viewed through expansive windows and balconies. Here you can lose yourself in its natural spirit, where the focus is on home-from-home luxury.

These mighty mountains, often nicknamed the ‘Pale Mountains’, are considered one of the world’s most beautiful mountain ranges, and so you may find it surprising that the region is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

As Thaddäus, a hiking and ski guide who has been working at ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI since 1996 says, “I have never heard anyone say that they were not thrilled by our mountains.”

When you’re not indulging in fine local fayre or a soothing massage, you’re encouraged to spend your days in the fresh, crisp mountains with a programme of daily guided outings with local experts to support you.

The Dolomite Mountains are a hiker’s paradise with all the many exhilarating summits to explore, and you can join the professional team on flower, sunset, or cultural walks every day. To reach higher altitudes, you can enjoy quick and easy access by cable car and ski lift.

You can encounter idyllic viewpoints and the most delightful alpine huts and farms during your two daily guided walks. The tranquillity of South Tyrol feels particularly bountiful at this time of year as you witness the spectacle of Alpine crocuses, lilies, and other heralds of Summer, from April to June.

There’s a handy ADLER hiking app to better acquaint yourself with local routes, and you can get your hands on equipment and advice on exploring the local area on your own at the ADLER Outdoor Point. This is where you’ll also be able to rent mountain bikes and top-of-the-line e-bikes for you to get about.

Whether you’re new to mountain biking (MTB), a professional cyclist, or plan to holiday with young and novice family members, you can get support from ADLER’s enthusiastic experts who always put safety first, advising you on performance levels and how to regularly check gearshifts, battery life, and brakes. What’s more, there’s a bike repair and storage service, should you be bringing your own.

There are 30 local routes to match all levels of ability and distance and, with the e-bikes, you can cycle into the sun and pedal to your heart’s content, turning to electric power for a more leisurely ride when your muscles begin to tire. At the end of a day spent al fresco, we can’t think of anywhere better to rest up for the night than at ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI with its charming and chic rooms and suites. And, if the temperature drops, there’s always a roaring fire on the terrace to warm you.

ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI is less than a two hour’s drive from Innsbruck and Verona International Airport, plus there are rail connections into Ortisei from Milan, Venice, and Munich.
