Hotel Gasthaus Adler

Culture

One of the key aspects when you travel on a trip with Adventure Dolomiti is that you will not just be staying at a nice hotel or mountain rifugio that is randomly found on the web. You will be staying at a property that has been hand selected by me personally. 

Unique to the South Tyrol region is that most of the hotels, restaurants & rifugio’s are owned and operated by families and passed from one generation to the next. I have had the good fortune to find properties that I think are very special, that not only are located in spectacular settings, or offer wonderful amenities and amazing cuisine. But hotel owners that I can truly call my friends. 

I like to look Adventure Dolomiti as one big family. By your traveling with me, you become part of this family network, the hotel owners and their service staff. 

This brings a whole new meaning to the term “hospitality”. In South Tyrol, they take immense pride in everything they do, it is simply unsurpassed. 

Here is one of the wonderful hotels that I love and can call my friends. If you travel with me and stay here, you will be talking about for years to come:
