CULINARY

In the picturesque Ziller Valley, nestled between majestic alpine peaks, a culinary world full of tradition and taste is revealed. The region is not only known for its breathtaking landscape, but also for its unique culinary diversity, which can be experienced in the best Zillertal huts and traditional inns.

When it comes to authentic Zillertal food, there is no way around the famous Zillertal fritters. These hearty dumplings, filled with spicy bacon and fresh mountain cheese, are a true taste experience and an absolute must for every foodie. Accompanied by a glass of traditional Zillertal beer, the pleasure is complete.

In the best Zillertal huts, you can find the ultimate classic hut — the Tyrolean Gröstl. Juicy fried meat, golden brown fried potatoes and a pinch of fresh alpine cabbage spices combine to create a hearty dish that represents alpine cuisine in its purest form.

In addition to the huts, traditional inns also attract visitors with a wide range of regional delicacies. The Zillertal is proud of its rarities such as “Zillertal gray cheese”, which, with its strong aroma and characteristic consistency, has earned a firm place on every menu. Served with fresh farmer's bread and homemade lingonberry jam, grey cheese is a delicacy for connoisseurs.

The cozy restaurants of the traditional taverns also offer the perfect setting to try local delicacies such as “Zillertal eggplant goulash”. Fresh chanterelles float in rich broth, accompanied by tender pieces of meat, and give this dish an incomparable flavor. Home-made dumplings are often served to round off the culinary experience.

The Zillertal therefore presents itself as a true paradise for lovers of traditional alpine cuisine.
