How to get to heaven?

Imagine: mountain air, which slightly burns the lungs, accustomed to urban smog; sunlight streams around you, through you, reflects off the endless snow surface and makes the views bright and clean. Everything that your gaze is enough for is breathtaking, and from this delight you hold your breath for a fraction of a second.

Exhale. And you will be haunted for a long time by the feeling of absolute unreality of what is happening. Because it doesn't happen so beautifully!

I bet you'll want to visit here.

We didn't invent this place — it really exists. And although literary tradition has settled witches and dwarves here, this tourist gem has nothing to do with the fairy tale.

Alpe di Susi in the Italian province of South Tyrol is one of the most exciting ski resorts in the world, and surrounded by the mountain ranges of the Dolomites, the Adler Mountain Lodge Hotel is a place where it is not necessary to take skis. If it is not essential for you to run the slopes, then you can come here for peace and a sense of some wild, natural magic.

Millions of years ago, the Dolomites were the volcanic bottom of the Tethys Ocean that separated Europe from Africa.

Striking views are the main trump card of this place. And the administration of the ski complex and the hotel is doing everything to preserve the surrounding beauty.

For skiers, entry by car is prohibited, and to get to the resort on your iron horse, you will have to request permission from the administration. Only after you receive confirmation, you will be allowed to see the fabulous views on wheels.

12 chalets for Adler were built exclusively of rock wood, and each panel was processed manually by craftsmen.

Even in the hotel sauna you will not hide from these magical landscapes.

At Adler Mountain Lodge, literally everything is aimed at maximum unity with nature. The main building has a separate recreation area with glass walls and a roof. Can you imagine what beauty is happening behind these windows at night?

Do you think there's nothing to do there in the summer? Not true. The views still make you forget to breathe, and the hotel will offer entertainment according to the season.

The slopes of the Alpe di Suzi are also something magical. In total, the hotel offers 60 km of trails for skiing and 80 km of trails for cross-country skiing.

In addition to skiing, the Lodge offers snowshoeing, horseback riding and night sledding. A real expanse for the Russian soul.
