How it all began
Ayurveda in the mountains
Carmen Kohler, the hotel proprietor whose enthusiasm for the Indian art of healing goes back over ten years, laid the foundations for Ayurveda Dolomites back in 2014. She was inspired by Indian Ayurveda, which draws on the power of the natural world of the Dolomites to ensure personal well-being. The first Ayurveda therapist began working here in the same year that head chef Theodor Falser arrived. This Indian form of medicine was initially incorporated in the programme in the form of individual treatments, but Ayurveda meals were soon added – a balanced diet forms a key pillar of this Oriental philosophy of life. Thus the Ayurveda concept at the Hotel Angel was gradually developed into an all-round offer, indeed a brand in itself - and especially one for the self.
Culinary Delights - The Ayurveda Cuisine
Stared chef Theodor Falser
His vegetarian and ayurvedic cuisine is full of passion and creativity.
Agricultural products from the region, wild herbs from the Dolomites, homemade Garam Masala and Ghee are just some of the secrets of his balanced and healthy cooking. Every Detox-Programme and Ayurvedic treatment follows the principles of this unique style of cuisine and will make you feel comfortable and healthy.

Each Ayurveda break begins with a consultation with Dr Mishra, Italy’s only practising Ayurveda physician and one of the best pulse diagnosticians in India. By diagnosing the pulse he can identify each guest’s individual dosha constitution, whose balance can then be restored with targeted treatments, diet and exercise - and the guest thus returned to their inner self.
The three doshas
Three doshas, three life fires: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. We all carry them within ourselves in varying proportions. Ayurveda Dolomites aims to balance the three doshas and thus to harmonise body, mind and soul.
air and wind
Vata
Vata stands for those who are slender, artistically inclined, enthusiastic and sensitive, who love variety and are quick on the uptake. This dosha relates to the human nervous system.
fire and water
Pitta
Pitta stands for muscular persons who are technically inventive, ambitious, assertive and passionate, blessed with an alert mind and a high level of digestive and metabolic activity. This dosha affects our metabolic system.
water and earth
Kapha
Kapha stands for people who are heavy, robust, stable, reliable, patient and kind, have great stamina and strength and a good long-term memory. This dosha influences people’s immune system.
