Enjoying nature

Our alpine cuisine

Flavorful, straightforward, authentic.

The Alpine landscape is the purveyor of flavor, and the great cuisines of the world are a source of inspiration. Carefully selected local agricultural products serve as a foundation, topped off with a dash of sophistication. So the much-loved South Tyrolean Knödel dumpling, in its many forms, is on the menu right next to proper Italian spaghetti – served al dente, of course. A unique culinary combination predominates here. Two cultures together on one plate: Mediterranean lightness and Alpine heartiness are fused, creating a very distinctive local cuisine.
