Cheers to the perfect alpine day

The prime ski holidays in Austria come with a range of delights. Austrian Alps cuisine is reminiscent of dishes once savoured by Austrian emperors. Treat yourself to Keiserschmarrn, fluffy shredded pancakes with jam and pair it with a tasty Viennese-style cappuccino ‘melange’. Alpine holidays aren’t complete without kasnock’n or a crispy Wiener Schnitzel, too. After a day in the snow, unwind at one of the many bars with hot pear schnapps or rejuvenate back at the hotel’s wellness centre with a massage.
