Hotel ADLER Carezza is a heritage alpine hideaway nestled at 1,400 metres inside the Dolomites UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, family-run by the Putzer family since 1829. A boutique hotel in the truest sense — the Putzer family welcomes every guest personally, mamma prepares meals with passion from seasonal local ingredients, and the family shares their lifelong knowledge of the mountains surrounding the hotel. Sustainability is not a concept here but a daily practice: a public bus stop directly in front of the hotel connects guests to the entire Val d'Ega and beyond — travelling light, travelling slow, leaving the car behind. In summer, five trails depart directly from the hotel door into the Latemar spruce forest, connecting to over 500km of marked trails throughout the Val d'Ega. Lake Carezza — one of the Alps' most iconic landmarks — is a 20-minute walk away. Via ferrata, mountain biking and golf at 1,600 metres complete an exceptional programme for active travellers. After the day's adventures, enjoy an aperitivo on the terrace overlooking the river Pukolin, or unwind at the ADLER bar. In winter, Carezza Ski — just 2km from the hotel with ski bus service at the door — offers something increasingly rare in the Alps: beautifully groomed slopes, stunning Dolomites panoramas, and a relaxed, uncrowded atmosphere ideal for beginners, families and those who simply love skiing without queues. For those seeking more, Carezza Ski is part of the legendary Dolomiti Superski network — 12 interconnected areas, 450 lifts and 1,200km of pistes, several reachable within 30 minutes. The Catinaccio ski area is also accessible directly by public bus from the hotel — another car-free option for a perfect ski day. Guests enjoy authentic Dolomites and Mediterranean cuisine crafted with passion from seasonal local produce, and a Finnish sauna with panoramic views over the Latemar forest and river Pukolin. An ideal base for independent travellers, active couples, and discerning guests seeking an authentic mountain experience — nestled in a cosy alpine setting where forest, mountain and family warmth come together.
