Looking for a family-friendly holiday filled with outdoor adventures and active excursions? Trying to find that magic blend of five-star hospitality and laid-back luxury? Needing an autumn escape that’s fun for kids of all ages?

Italy ticks all the boxes when it comes to family holidays and nowhere better than the Dolomite mountains, where days are filled with fresh air, outdoor activities and evenings rounded off with delicious seasonal food and fabulous local wine.

For a fun-filled family break, ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI offers a warm welcome and an array of exhilarating alpine experiences. Set within the historic town of Ortisei, this award-winning resort has something for everyone and for all ages. A popular destination for multi-generation vacations for families who love the great outdoors, this is the perfect base for exploring the mountains all year round.

Just a short flight from the UK and other European airports ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI is the perfect choice for the UK October half-term break. What makes the ADLER experience so special and extremely cost-effective is its unique inclusive half-board packages. Breakfasts and gourmet dinners are included along with a complimentary AKI Kids Club, use of the spa and pools, guided hikes, free e-bikes, and even a traditional afternoon tea (The Strudel is a must).

From dawn to dusk the whole family can enjoy the mountain resort lifestyle with activities and excursions tailored to the seasons. Fresh buffet breakfasts are impressive and set you up for a day filled with alpine adventures. Sign up for a guided hike with a local expert and discover the beauty of the Val Gardena and Alpe di Siusi. Take one of the cable cars or the funicular railway to the peaks for a picturesque picnic or reserve your e-bikes for a day of exploring the woodland trails.

A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Dolomites are famous for their excellent ski slopes and ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI is one of the best ski destinations for the whole family. Directly from the resort, you will find lifts to Alpe di Siusi and the Sellaronda just minutes from the hotel reception. In addition to complimentary guided skiing, Ski safaris can be arranged and there is a designated children’s ski school in Ortisei.

After a long day hiking, biking or skiing, what better way to relax than soaking in the warmth of one of the pools or enjoying a soothing sauna? The spacious contemporary spa is at the heart of the ADLER experience and provides the perfect environment in which to truly chill out.

Dinner at ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI is very much a gourmet affair with a mouthwatering buffet for starters followed by a refined a la carte menu featuring a blend of seasonal mountain and Mediterranean dishes. Indulge in the comforting delicacies of South Tyrol with mouthwatering dishes such as chanterelle strudel or Tyrolean dumplings with beetroot and gorgonzola.

To wrap up your perfect day in the Dolomites, why not enjoy a post-dinner glass of grappa on the terrace beneath a star-lit sky? Cozy up under a blanket nestled alongside one of the alfresco fire-pits and make your plans for yet another magical day in the mountains.
