The Lodge is built according to green building requirements, following the “forest” concept of using natural native materials. Untreated natural wood such as spruce, larch and oak was used for the various structures, which are Klimahouse Nature2 certified, and was chosen especially for the floors. The large windows optimized the use of natural light and fostered dialogue between interiors and exteriors. The owners' goal was to create a place that respects and integrates seamlessly with the land while minimizing environmental impact. To eliminate the use of plastic bottles, several drinking water sources were installed to fill the thermal flasks that guests can purchase at the lodge. Since 2021, the Ritten has launched a Behind the Scenes Tour that reveals how a “green” lodge operates and the processes required to ensure impeccable service. Accompanied by Klaus, who knows all the secrets of the lodge, guests will be able to meet the people who work behind the scenes and help make the atmosphere at Adler Lodge Ritten even more magical.
The ADLER Lodge RITTEN, located in Soprabolzano on the Renon plateau, is the ideal place to be pampered by nature without sacrificing the exclusivity of informal luxury and the comfort of a family environment. The Lodge was designed and built according to the most modern green building criteria, with natural native materials to blend in with the landscape.
It is a retreat in the forest, consisting of a central body, the Main Lodge, which includes the Wellness area with the Spa, the reception, the lounge area, and the charming panoramic restaurant with a glass roof, for dining under the stars, offering Alpine-Mediterranean inspired gourmet dishes prepared with fresh local products. For drinks, wines and spirits, too, the choice falls on local producers and labels from small wineries. In addition to the Main Lodge, two complexes housing 20 Junior Suites, we find a Panorama Suite and 20 charming Chalets with floor-to-ceiling windows and large panoramic balconies.
Also available to guests is the exclusive Forest Spa, a wellness area built into the forest, with a Finnish sauna, aromatic biosauna and a relaxation room. During their stay, guests can enjoy fitness programs, yoga, pilates and meditation classes. Each week the lodge presents a full program of outdoor activities that can vary depending on the season from hiking and e-bike tours to visiting Bolzano by cable car or days on the ski fields of the Rittner Horn, snowshoeing and sledding.
At Adler Ritten, respect for nature is combined with the low impact of the facility and good sustainability practices, which the lodge reveals to its guests with an original “behind-the-scenes” tour.In addition, guests can arrive at the hotel using the scenic Ritten cable car and a private shuttle, and to reach the most popular destinations around RITTEN, there is no need to use a car, but one can travel by the historic Ritten train.
