The Adler Lodge Alpe is idyllically located at a height of 1,800 metres right in the middle of the South Tyrolean mountain range, just north of Bozen. When you have gone through the uncomplicated check in procedure and look out of the glass-front of your room, you really think: The postcard idyll with its rocky peaks just takes your breath away.
The hotelier family Sanoner have been operating this hideaway in the middle of this wonderful plateau since summer 2014 (Now they are a member with two other properties – Adler Lodge Ritten, which is also inSouth Tyrol and Adler Spa Resort Sicilia in Sicily). We were privileged to test all of them with the result that we now love to recommend them.
On the one hand the hotel is luxurious, but on the other very cosy. One of the main reasons for this is the buildings structure: The South Tyrolean architect Hugo Demetz only used regional and untreated materials when creating this property, especially the spruce wood, which can be smelt throughout your stay and leaves a positive impression on your nostrils.
On the culinary side, you are spoilt by a complete package: When you book the Lodge you get an “Inclusive Arrangement”. This means, all the meals are included in the price. And in the evening there is a delicious á la carte menu where the guest doesn’t even have to pay extra for the excellent wine selection.
The absolute highlight of this resort however, was found by us just outside the front door: An open air pool with warm salt water, from which the guest has a perfect view to the landscape of South Tyrol.
Wellness
The wellness-area is just amazing and can be found on the top floor of the building, which provides with the best view to nature. There is a hay sauna, treatment rooms for massages and all kinds of applications (among others body styling or anti-aging), the above-mentioned salt-water-pool and the relaxation-room “Under the Stars” – a room with a glass roof, through which you can admire the evening stars.
Ideal for
Everyone who demands high standards and who wants to spend a restorative week in the mountains. Skiers, or cross country skiers and tour goers are also in the right place here: the ski tracks and slopes of the Seiser Alm ski region are just a stones throw away from the hotel.
