"An Alpine minimalist escape with a moody forest sauna and an extensive spa menu, where herbal treatments include medicinal hay baths pioneered by local farmers." - Adam H. Graham

"I found an eco-lodge nestled among forests and plateaus that features a panoramic spa." - La Guida Michelin

"Tucked in a wooded glade just outside Bolzano, Adler Lodge Ritten felt like a romantic forest seclusion: Adler’s generous full-board formula is matched by memorable spa features — saunas on stilts among the treetops, an outdoor cold plunge, and an indoor-outdoor pool — with cozy pinewood cottages clustered on a hillside around a lake; the property is unusually easy to reach by cable car from Bolzano to Soprabolzano and a scenic narrow-gauge train ride." - Laura Rysman

"Opened in 2019 by a multigenerational local family and perched high above Bolzano, this modern alpine retreat is reachable by cable car and provides guests with a transit card for local travel. Inspired in part by safari lodges, standalone A-frame chalets and wood-centric interiors feature private saunas, wood-burning stoves and large terraces. Half-board rates commonly include breakfast, dinner, spa access and a wide activities program—guided hikes and bike tours, sledding and snowshoeing, llama treks and wine tastings." - Laura Itzkowitz, Erica Firpo

"A modernist timber-lodge complex reached by cable car from Bozen that reinterprets alpine wellness traditions with a main lodge and timber chalets overlooking the Dolomites. The 42 knotty-wood guest rooms include private saunas and wood-burning stoves, and the spa’s heated infinity pool faces dramatic alpine scenery, making it a design-forward base for mountain relaxation and wellness." - Jennifer Flowers
