Indulgence meets tradition - Alpine cuisine by Richard Rauch

Since 2019, alpine cuisine in Schladming-Dachstein has been inspiring both summer and winter - a cuisine that preserves the original while breaking new ground. How regionality and creativity can be combined on the plate has been impressively demonstrated by award-winning chef Richard Rauch together with 16 businesses from the region for five years now. In his "Almkulinarik", familiar flavors meet refined sophistication: The newly composed dishes at the participating huts show how regional ingredients, craftsmanship and culinary passion become unique taste experiences.

Year-round enjoyment at the participating huts

A perfect vacation in Schladming-Dachstein therefore means: experiencing the variety of summer and winter activities and visiting the participating huts to taste the new alpine cuisine dishes. A total of 16 huts in the Schladming-Dachstein region invite you to enjoy this special culinary experience.

From test cooking to a moment of pleasure

Regional ingredients meet creative culinary art at the Gröbming technical college: new dishes are developed together with 4-toque chef Richard Rauch and the region's mountain hut owners. After the test cooking, these are served at 16 selected huts in Schladming-Dachstein - a unique taste experience made from regional ingredients, creatively interpreted.
