From Our Hotels to your Home : Little Joys for the Holidays

As the year draws to an end, we wanted to celebrate the season with something meaningful: a collection of small, heartfelt gestures from the exceptional properties we represent.  

ADLER Spa Resort BALANCE

ADLER Spa Resort BALANCE is located in the heart of Ortisei and is the closest neighbor of the ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI. More intimate, adults-only and centered on body–mind balance, ADLER Spa Resort BALANCE features 31 suites of 45 sqm, all with a private balcony and mountain views. 

Set in Val Gardena, at an altitude of 1,236 meters in the UNESCO-listed Dolomites, the resort is connected via an underground passage to an exceptional wellness world spanning over 4,000 sqm, including indoor and outdoor pools, expansive relaxation areas and Lake Saunas set on the water.

The spirit of the property is defined by calm, light and balance, with a strong health-oriented approach through ADLER Med (diagnostics and prevention, nutrition, stress management, detox and weight programs, and non-invasive aesthetics). Access is reserved for adults and young guests aged 14 and over, to preserve a peaceful atmosphere. 

In the mountains, both summer and winter, the hotel enjoys direct access to one of Europe’s largest ski areas, Dolomiti Superski (Val Gardena / Alpe di Siusi, Sellaronda), with ski lifts just a few steps away and ski passes available at the reception.

The activity program, included in the ADLER concept, also sets the rhythm of each season: guided hikes (up to two per day), mountain biking, e-bikes and Nordic walking in summer; ski guiding, ski safaris and snowshoeing excursions in winter. Every detail is designed to enhance the stay.

The property is easily accessible: Chiusa/Klausen train station is 20 km away (≈ 25 minutes), and Bolzano main station is 36 km away (≈ 40 minutes). The nearest airports are Innsbruck, 120 km away (≈ 1h20), and Verona, 170 km away (≈  2h). Milan is 280 km away (≈  3h30) and Venice 260 km away (≈  3h20).

ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI

ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI is the birthplace of the ADLER Group: where it all began in 1810, at a time when South Tyrol was not yet part of Italy. Its 108 rooms & suites blend seamlessly into the village of Ortisei (Val Gardena), set at 1,236 meters above sea level and facing the UNESCO-listed Dolomites. 

The resort is directly connected to an expansive wellness world spanning over 4,000 sqm, featuring indoor and outdoor pools, generous relaxation areas, and saunas set on an island at the heart of the park. Here, nature and relaxation come together to create a signature Adler experience.
