Become one with the landscape

Slowly the tree tops move back and forth, a refreshing breeze spreads a light scent of pine needles in the air. Birds chirp in the background. Spring, when nature comes back to life after a white winter, is without a doubt one of the most beautiful seasons in South Tyrol. And there's hardly a better place to witness these experiences of nature than at the ADLER Lodge RITTEN with its 20 romantic chalets. The small cottages were made of black wood and are spread out on the Ritten plateau - partly around a natural pond - surrounded by nothing but green vegetation. Thanks to their simple, natural appearance, they blend in perfectly with the surroundings, as do the two wings of rooms, each with 10 junior suites, complementing the ensemble.

And the interior design is also inspired by nature. All chalets and suites have been clad in wood from South Tyrolean larch and feature extra-large glass facades. The warm, open room concept exudes feelings of freedom and lightness and grants a special far-reaching view of the greenery. The minimalist but luxurious interior has an unobtrusive effect as well. All rooms have been equipped with their own terrace and a private bio sauna for an extra privacy factor.

A place of energy under the treetops

If you look for a real wellness highlight and nature experience you should visit the Forest Spa. In the saunas under the green crowns of pines and spruces, body, mind and soul are best brought into harmony. Smell the spring awakening thanks to the scent of mountain flowers, alpine herbs and conifers in the flower steam bath, located in the main building. Right next door are the treatment rooms, where specially developed wellness rituals and treatments with the hotel's own care line await guests. Incidentally, the infinity pool on the premises is also completely aligned with the spirit of nature. If you take a leisurely swim in the brine water, you'll have the feeling that you are swimming towards the Dolomites.

Switch off and revive

The forest pavilion, on the other hand, offers quiet sporting highlights. People meet here once a day to unroll their mats and find peace with yoga, pilates or meditation. By the way: single sessions are possible as well as retreats lasting for several days.

The Great Outdoors

If you prefer to get out into nature you should take part in the guided ADLER outdoor program. Everything is included. From hiking to e-biking to cultural excursions in the area. Local guides take guests on a special discovery tour through South Tyrol.

From farm to table

In line with the rest of the offer, the ADLER Culinary Center sees itself as a qualitative organic offer that is good for the body and nature. For this, the resort builds on a special farm-to-table concept in cooperation with local farmers and producers. The food comes either directly from the restaurant's own vegetable and herb garden or from the region. The hotel's own beehives are especially cool.
