This year’s adventure takes us back to the famous Spa Hotel Adler in Ortisei, Italy and then on to Venice for two nights! As many of you know, the Adler is a Club favorite and has been closed to all Clubs since 2004. Through a happy circumstance, we have procured 10 rooms (ONLY) at the Adler and combined this visit with an extension to Venice.
Located in the Val Gardena area, Ortisei is centrally located so you can ski the famous Sella Ronda, the Marmolada* or simply the beautiful pistes located just outside of town. Included is admittance to the famous Aguana water world facilities as well as Adler Fit facilities, assuming you have any energy left over after a day on the slopes!
Due to anticipated demand and the limited spaces we have secured, we are accepting reservations beginning on April 14, at our last meeting of this ski year at the Crowne Plaza, MLSC members ONLY. Interested? Call or email Jack Behrle for more details!
