On a sunny plateau at the foot of the Asitz, surrounded by pure nature and the ridges of the Leogang mountains, the nature resort spreads out with its premium chalets, stylish suites and rooms. The 30-hectare recreational resort awakens all spirits. And the gourmet restaurant ESS:ENZ is not to be missed here. Two GaultMillau toques and three Falstaff forks distinguish the hotel's own restaurant in Leogang. In addition, there's natural cuisine to experience.

Hotel Bergblick

Feel at home in an area where the mountains, snow and tranquillity are at home: The Tannheimer Tal is considered one of the most beautiful high valleys in Europe. Idyllic landscapes and striking peaks, vast nature and dreamy mountain villages awaken the urge to discover. Mass tourism is not to be found here. In the Tannheimer Tal, people breathe deeply in unspoilt nature. Clear your head and enjoy the moment - that is possible here. In a dreamlike solitary location in the middle of meadows, the Bergblick Hotel & Spa tops the decelerated feeling of life. An internationally experienced kitchen team cooks its way into the hearts of gourmets.

Alpine Hideaway Zillertalerhof

At the Marienbrunnen 341, 6290 Mayrhofen

The special thing about the hotel: Tyrol's first sardine bar opened in the HOF BAR of the alpine hideaway. "We go canned fish," smiles host Franz-Josef Perauer. The best that the South of France and Portugal have to offer in terms of wonderful, fresh canned fish conquers the plates at the Zillertalerhof. How it works: Choose two types of sardines or tuna from the crème de la crème and the whole thing arrives at the table with a crisp salad and fragrant bread. And because it is so nice and tastes so good, the new CHAMPAGNERIA pours the gourmets a noble and sparkling drink. Sardine and champagne - a sparkling match.

Hotel Montafoner Hof

Currently, the Montafoner Stube in the Montafoner Hof has been awarded two GaultMillau toques and 15 points. In addition, the AMA seal of approval and "Bewusst Montafon" bear witness to the exquisite quality of the cuisine, which is passionate about the region. Here, cooking is done with dedication and joie de vivre. The chef brings out forgotten dishes from the cookbook of traditions from behind the curtain, serving typical Montafon dishes and tasty world cuisine. "It's a blessing what thrives in the alpine pastures and fields, in the streams and forests all around us, and it's good fortune what quality local farmers stand for," enthuses chef Holger Stösser.
