Mountain Peaks And Warm Waters Of The Val Gardena Of Italy

Six Days

Arguably the most stunning mountainscape of the Alps, the Dolomites of northeastern Italy were formed over a million years ago, surging forth from the ocean floor in a series of violent volcanic eruptions. Sculpted by the elements for thousands of years, these immense formations of rock no longer tower above the sea, but reign serenely over the lush pine forests and verdant meadows of the eastern Alps. In the peaceful valleys of Gardena and Alta Badia, the cultures of Austria and Italy have slowly blended over the centuries to create one of the Alps' most unique cultural environments.

Nestled at the foot of the towering crags of the Dolomites, St. Ulrich is one of Europe's best-kept summer secrets and the Spa Hotel Adler is its crowning feature. Operated by the Sanoner family since 1810, this magnificent hotel is truly an oasis for the body and mind, and you will be pampered here for your entire 5 nights, massage included. Combine this with walks offering spectacular views of the four Dolomite groups which frame this lovely valley, cable car excursions to its highest peaks, the best of both Austrian and Italian cuisine, and some of the finest vintages of the region. This is the perfect mixture of exhilaration and relaxation.
