The Lodge Spirit

All you need to do is close your eyes and listen. Some sounds are soft and gentle – a caress for the mind and the senses. Others are loud, and so intense you can feel their waves spreading through your body. Gongs, handpans, tuning forks, shamanic drums and singing bowls – each of these ancient instruments holds its own unique vibration, its own unique magic. Anna Matteazzi’s art is to combine their sounds, tones and frequencies into a harmonic whole that reaches into the soul and goes far beyond instilling relaxation.

The ADLER family has grown once again: since November 17, 2024, the brand-new 5-star AKI Family Resort PLOSE has become part of our group. This special destination focuses on creating shared moments for the entire family, inviting even the youngest guests to enjoy thrilling and enriching experiences.

Every ADLER resort invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and discover how the beauty of nature can revive mind and body - all while respecting the environment. With unique experiences and “slow” initiatives, you’ll find the perfect place to let go of everyday stress.

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 Mineral water bottles have been replaced by micro-filtered spring water in refillable bottles.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.

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.

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.

A wide, full skirt, a lace blouse under a finely intricate bodice, and a colourful apron with a flashy bow tied at the hip. What’s not to love?

Verdant meadows dotted with colourful paint strokes, the air filled with a spicy fragrance – after the thaw, the Alpe di Siusi plateau slowly turns into a sea of colourful flowers. But there´s more to the Alpine flora than its eye-catching beauty and nose-pleasing scents.
