Adler Inn Tyrol Mountain Resort

The Adler Inn Tyrol Mountain Resort is at Madseit 690, that is in the hamlet of Madseit in the municipality of Tux, at the head of the Tuxertal in Tyrol, at a little over 1,400 metres and at the foot of the Hintertux glacier, where you can ski all year round. It is a four-star superior hotel and welcomes families without reservation: it has a Premium Family Suite, dedicated offers, two ski schools for children and mini clubs up on the mountain. The wellness area, however, follows another rule, and that is why the property appears in this list.

The rule that concerns adults

Among the practical information the house publishes the opening hours with the age beside them: the sauna department is indicated as an area from 14 years upwards, open every day from 13 to 20, with two evenings a week when pool and saunas stay open until 23. The pool, by contrast, opens from 7 to 22 with no age limit, and the whirlpool tub from 13.30 to 19.30. It is therefore a division by area, not by timetable: anyone bringing children under fourteen knows from the outset that they will never go into the cabins.

What there is in the Mountain Spa

The department covers over two thousand square metres and the house counts fourteen saunas, relaxation areas and water attractions. The cabins are the Hot Glacier, a panoramic Finnish sauna at ninety degrees with intense infusions and direct access outdoors, the Just Bio and Herbs, a herbal bio sauna at fifty-five degrees, the Dress on Glacier, a pine sauna at fifty degrees, and the herbal steam bath at forty-five. To these are added the waterfall with the water circuit and the private showers, the outdoor salt whirlpool tub Let the Sole fly, at thirty-six degrees and with four per cent salt, open all year round, and the indoor Adler INNdoor Pool facing the mountains of the Zillertal. For rest there are the Water Relax area with heated water beds, the Physiotherm nests, the Happy Swing Wing with its swinging loungers and the Mountain View lounge. Completing the picture are the spa bistro, the massage cabins and a two hundred and fifty square metre fitness area. Outside, the lawn with loungers looks over the pastures and woods of the valley.

The rest of the house

Dogs are welcome, with a supplement of thirty euros a day, but the property specifies that they may not enter the restaurants or the wellness area. From the Comfort Double Room Glacier category upwards a place in the underground garage with direct access to the hotel is included; for the lower categories it costs five euros a day. The rooms run from the Classic rooms of the Zillertal to the Golden Eagle penthouse suites. The house shuttle runs to the lifts of the Hintertux glacier and the Zillertal 3000.

Who it suits

It suits anyone who wants to ski all year round and to find on their return a sauna department that children do not enter, accepting that the hotel around them is full of families. It suits less anyone looking for an entirely adult house, because it is not one, and anyone travelling with youngsters between twelve and fourteen: they stay outside the cabins.
