Cooking up a great holiday in Austria

High standards of accommodation and excellent cuisine are an integral part of the culture of the Austrian Tirol. Much is produced organically and many kitchens focus on gastronomy, organic cuisine and healthy cooking.

Holidaymakers wanting to take their skills home can take part in a choice of cookery courses, including a two day course with Martin Sieber, Austria’s top chef, at the renowned Hotel Trofana Royal in Ischgl, and half and full day courses at the Michelin starred Restaurant Schindlhaus in Soell.
