Absolutely delicious

The best thing about skiing - apart from long downhill runs - is stopping for a bite to eat: After skiing, a snack at a ski hut tastes twice as good. If you feel the same way, then you can look forward to very special treats in Zell am See-Kaprun in March: On two weekends, the Toque chefs and vintners of the region will be guests at the Culinary Ski Days with Falstaff and invite you to a culinary winter holiday. Newly created ski hut classics await you on the Schmittenhöhe, glasses are filled with premium wines in Zell am See, exclusive "Austrian Tapas" invite in the Ice Camp on the Kitzsteinhorn glacier and there are many other delicious experiences.

Not many can claim to have enjoyed creations by an Austrian top chef in an impressive mountain setting. Soon you will have the opportunity to do so: The Culinary Ski Days in Zell am See-Kaprun offer numerous culinary highlights from the start to the finale. We introduce you to two of these events and provide a short preview of the overall programme.

Here we reveal which ski huts on the Schmittenhöhe invite you to enjoy, which restaurants send their chefs and which vintners fill the glasses.

Apart from cocktail fans, wine connoisseurs will also get what their heart desires: In the ICE CAMP, glasses are filled with fine wines from the top vineyard Domäne Wachau, which is one of the 50 best wineries in the world. If you're like us and already have an appetite, you can secure your ticket for the culinary experience on the glacier here.
