The location is one of the property's greatest strengths. Extremely peaceful and private, the lodge is surrounded by open meadows and mountains, with very little around it apart from nature. This sense of seclusion is part of what makes the experience so special, although it is important to know that access by car is restricted in order to help protect the Alpe di Siusi. Transfers are generally permitted only in the early morning and late afternoon, with some exceptions for arrivals, departures, and nearby golf bookings. For guests wishing to explore Ortisei, the village can be reached by walking around 15–20 minutes to the cable car and continuing down to the town, where taxis and rental cars are available.
The design of ADLER Lodge Alpe is understated, warm, and deeply connected to its surroundings. Natural wood, stone, fireplaces, and large windows create a beautiful Alpine atmosphere, while subtle African-inspired details add a wonderfully unexpected character to the interiors. These elements are influenced by the owners' connection to a lodge in Namibia, giving the property a distinctive sense of personality that sets it apart from traditional Alpine hotels. The result is elegant without feeling formal, with the surrounding landscape always remaining the main attraction.
In winter, ADLER Lodge Alpe offers a fantastic ski-in/ski-out experience, with the Alpe di Siusi becoming a spectacular playground for skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing. In summer, the same landscape transforms into a paradise for hiking, cycling, and exploring the Dolomites on foot. The lodge's secluded setting makes it particularly appealing for travelers who want to disconnect from everyday life and spend their days surrounded by nature, while still enjoying the comfort and service of a sophisticated luxury lodge.
Wellness is another highlight, with panoramic saunas, a hay sauna, fitness facilities, treatment rooms, and a spectacular heated saltwater infinity pool overlooking the mountains. Even the spa and gym have been positioned to make the most of the extraordinary scenery. After a day outdoors, there is nowhere better to relax than beside the pool or in the panoramic relaxation areas while watching the light change across the Dolomite peaks.
The culinary experience is equally memorable. Food at ADLER Lodge Alpe is genuinely one of the highlights, with beautifully prepared dishes inspired by the region and high-quality seasonal ingredients. The lodge's dining spaces are designed around the surrounding landscape, allowing guests to enjoy exceptional food while looking out over the mountains. The combination of delicious cuisine, thoughtful design, and uninterrupted views creates an experience that feels both refined and wonderfully relaxed.
