Pusteria Valley and just north of Cortina d'Ampezzo, lies the charming
village of Villabassa. This area of the Dolomites is perfect for snowshoeing
with routes leading into Fanes-Sennes Natural Park, along the shoreline of
Lago di Braies and beneath the jagged peaks of Tre Cime di Lavaredo. Trek
along forest trails and old military tracks to the magnificent viewpoints of
Durrakopf (2275m) and Strudelkopf (2307m), learning more about the impact of
World War 1 in this area along the way. Our base for the week will be the
superb Hotel Adler, situated in the centre of the town and one of the best
hotels we feature in our entire programme. This 4-star accommodation provides
the perfect place to unwind after a day’s snowshoeing, with Michelin
recommended cuisine and a relaxing wellness centre.
- Relax in a 4-star hotel with wellness centre
- Walk through the spectacular scenery of the Dolomites
- Explore areas only accessible by snowshoes
Considered the best in town, this four-star retreat has a privileged address on the village square. Rooms are traditional yet stylish and come with Hästens beds, each of which is created with natural materials.
The hotel itself is run by the Pircher family but began life as the home of nobleman Stefan von Kurz zum Thurn more than 400 years ago. You can see plenty of that heritage throughout the property.
The hub of social living will likely be the bar and fireplace room, where you can sip an aperitivo or perhaps a post-dinner gin and tonic, while enjoying the relaxed hubbub with the group (a local crowd often gathers here too). There’s also a good-sized pool for morning dips and a wellness centre with a sauna, steam room, solarium and small fitness centre. Bliss.
