Starting on 7 July 2023, gourmets in Paznaun will enjoy exquisite top gastronomy at selected mountain huts on the routes of the Culinary Way of St. James. Until 16 September, guests can hike along seven routes to seven huts and enjoy one of seven dishes that local gourmet chefs have created especially for these huts using high-quality, regional ingredients. Seven hut festivals set special summer accents.
On 7 July 2023, the Culinary Way of St. James will open its gourmet routes: If you want to be there for the kick-off, you don't have to hike that day to feast, because the celebrity chefs and hut hosts will present all seven Jakobsweg dishes at the Ischgl Genussmarkt. For a contribution towards costs of 25 euros, guests here can taste "Tomato with lasagne and Galtür alpine cheese", "Crispy breast of young alpine piglet with Grammel semolina dumplings and cabbage", "Plucked piglet with potato Coleslaw and onion cream", "Stuffed peppers with tomato sauce on potato-lemon puree", "Alpine beef with yeast bread and wild herbs", "Nettle ravioli on Gerstl, mountain cheese and endive" and "Potato dumplings with venison, porcini mushrooms, wild herbs and mountain cheese". All the dishes of the Culinary Way of St. James can be collected as a recipe and recreated at home.
After the kick-off, the pleasure routes of the Culinary Jacob's Trail with starting points in Ischgl, Galtür, Kappl and See take you through one of Austria's most diverse hiking regions to "Hoch-Genuss" in the face of the blue Silvretta, which Hemingway already raved about. Imposing peaks such as Fluchthorn, Blankakopf or Rotpleiskopf are silent companions through the majestic mountain world. The seven huts have been chosen so that pleasure pilgrims can hike to them on relaxed mountain walks or simply experience them on an e-bike. The Alpenhaus is even easily accessible by gondola. If you take the direct route, it takes a maximum of two and a half hours to hike. Seven hut festivals in summer provide special moments of enjoyment, at which the respective hut host presents his current Way of St. James dish together with his celebrity chef godfather to the accompaniment of music.
