A piece of holiday for your home

With winter just around the corner, the Dolomites are ready to showcase their breathtaking beauty and endless opportunities for adventure. At ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI, we've thought of everything to ensure you enjoy a seamless, stress-free experience – from advice on lift passes to family-friendly facilities.

During your last holiday at ADLER you might have noticed a few changes. Mineral water bottles have been replaced by micro-filtered spring water in refillable bottles. Disposable bath slippers are still available on request, but no longer provided by default, and our menus increasingly feature zero-km products, many of which grow directly in our organic vegetable gardens. All these adjustments are part of a global vision that is deeply rooted in ADLER’s DNA – a vision that is now taking shape under ADLER for Planet. 

If you are travelling to Italy around mid-August, you’re bound to hear it: Buon Ferragosto! But what’s the occasion all about, exactly?

Ferragosto is an Italian public holiday celebrated on 15th August. As the main summer festivity, its importance is comparable to that of Christmas and Easter. Just like the other two festivities, it has religious significance, but its origins are much more ancient than Christianity. Ferragosto was introduced in Roman times by Emperor Augustus, hence the original name: Feriae Augusti. It was a period of rest designed to grant the population some respite between the long weeks of hard agricultural work of early summer and the harvesting season. Back then, the celebrations went on for days, and included parades, feasts and horse races. As Christianity took hold, Ferragosto was assimilated and moved to 15th August to make it coincide with the Assumption of Mary.

Nowadays, the Ferragosto holidays provide Italians with the perfect occasion to escape both the daily grind and the summer heat, retreating to the seaside, the mountains or the countryside for a relaxing break with their family or friends.

Ferragosto is one of the main highlights on the calendar at ADLER Spa Resorts & Lodges, too. In keeping with our tradition, this year we celebrated it in style with our guests at all our establishments – with festive menus, specially designed buffets, music and entertainment.

A week of detox at the ADLER Spa Resort BALANCE.
Manuel Kaneppele, Hotel Director at ADLER DOLOMITI, is familiar with the high quality standards of the ADLER Med programmes and has now experienced the transformative effect of this intensive detoxification week on body and mind for himself. He tells us about his personal experience.

Just as scientific research is continuously evolving, including in the cosmetic field, we too keep exploring new paths to better and healthier skin. This is why we have partnered up with the EFFEGI-Lab research centre for cosmetics, and tapped into cutting-edge technologies to develop our new ADLER SKINTECH line, which currently includes three different face boosters.

With the arrival of winter, we face a season that presents challenges to our physical and emotional well-being. However, nature provides us with precious remedies in the form of essential oils and floral essences, which can act as natural allies in maintaining balance during the colder months.

The wait is nearly over: Christmas is upon us, and another year is slowly drawing to a close. Now is the perfect time for a well-deserved break at ADLER.
