In the listed building dating back to 1490, the two innkeepers Sabrina and Katrin Steindl welcome their guests with warmth and cordiality. Head chef Christian Ranacher cooks wonderful dishes in keeping with the slow food mentality, which taste even better in the paradisiacal garden.

The rustic dining rooms of this Kufstein institution exude a cozy atmosphere; the more than 150-year-old parlor made of Tyrolean stone pine is particularly noteworthy. In this ambience you can enjoy delicious traditional dishes and international cuisine with herbs, fruit and vegetables from the restaurant's own garden.

The design pearl in Sölden, situated at an altitude of over 3,000 meters, is one of the most unusual alpine huts in the world. It has already been the spectacular backdrop for the James Bond film Spectre and spoils its guests with fine dining and fine wines. And the panorama? Simply breathtaking!
