ADLER Lodge Ritten: Unpretentious Luxury and Wellness Hideaway Overlooking the Dolomites
ADLER Lodge RITTEN welcomes children 8 years and up
Located in the wooded hills of the Dolomites, ADLER Lodge Ritten is an all-inclusive five-star experience in a calm, nature setting. A main lodge with an open-plan lounge contains twenty expansive suites crafted from local Tyrolean oak. The rooms are fit with vintage travel trunks, handcrafted tweed stools and local design pieces. The twenty chalets are truly a special experience— floor-to-ceiling windows open up to the Alpine setting. Each has its own bio-sauna and fireplace. Some are lakeside.
Wellness is at the heart of this property. Gaze at the Dolomites as you swim laps in the year-round heated open-air infinity pool, then visit the spa for an invigorating treatment. Here, relax in the Finnish sauna, aromatic bio-sauna, steam room and plunge pool. Open-air dining features beautiful seasonal Alpine specialties. Hike or bike after a late lunch—in the winter months, the slopes are close by. Dinner is an indulgent, five-course experience under the stars.
Please note: ADLER Lodge RITTEN welcomes children from 8 years and up. For Families with smaller children, we recommend AKI Family Resort PLOSE.
