Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Make sure you ask for a fried egg on top, not everywhere does this unless you ask for it.

None of the huts in St Anton serve the traditional Tiroler Grostl.

Although it is often desribed as the leftovers (potato,pork) fried up with onions.

It is traditionally a Jager (hunters) dish. The meat should be sliced veal

The same goes for the sellout of Wienerschnitzel it is not really one unless the meat is veal.

Best place for the fake Tiroler Grostl is the Mooserwirt or RodelAlm.

For the real thing you should be able to ask (ring) RsstHaus Verwall. Its in the Verwall forest.

They do a great one in the Rodelalm restaurant, which is on skiers left of Red 24a about 300m from the bottom, it's slightly hidden by the trees as you ski down but if you go up the Nasserein bahn you'll go right over it.

I think it's only been there for two or three years, will worth a trip there for lunch.

Rodelalm has been there for donkeys years, it's a very nice spot. Also good for Scweineshax'n (excuse my spelling, there's no way I got that right).

If you go to the Ferwall don't let the owner pick the wine for you. I went there a few years ago and the wine was incredibly expensive and tasted awful. I won't be going back there in a hurry.

And when you get to the Hospiz Alm you can go down to the toilets without using the stairs, they have a nice slide as an alternative... Madeye-Smiley

sah, easily done! Especially in spring!

And wallyynot, when you've slid down to the toilet in the Hospiz Alm, if you're lucky and the door is open, have a look into their wine cellar, that's worth seeing! The door is on the left as you head to the toilet, it's a big steel bank safe type door with a nice painting on it.

Ps, you may need a stiff drink before you look at the top end of their wine list! Shocked

Enjoy!

I've just waxed my skies for the first time and the house is full of wax fumes Madeye-Smiley, off to Val d'Isere tomorrow evening on the eurostar, finally feel like I'm going now!

Wahoooooooo!

The RodelAlm is one of the oldest mountain huts in St Anton. After the owner (farther) died a few years ago The family invested a few million to expand.

The Hospiz Alm is biggest most expensive fastfood joint in the Arlberg.
Everthing on the regular menu comes from a packet & is warmed up or deep fried. Folk just get sucked in by the ambience.

Ski down Steisbachtal (Happy Valley, run no. 4) from the top of the St Christophe chairlift, then take the Mattunbahn up to Gampen, then ski down Fang (24) towards Nasserein, it's on your left after about 200m. You might be able to access it from the blue run too, not sure where those runs cross. I think it's marked on the piste map these days, but it didn't used to be. If it's not it's still easy to find because it's at the top of the Rodelbahn, which is marked.

Agree there. If you've never been in it's worth stopping for a coffee to have a look round, but there are plenty of better places to eat, with better service too.

The Hospitz Alm also has one of the best stocked wine cellars in Austria.

The RodelAlm wasn't shown on last years (or older) piste maps.

stanton, as usual talking out of his backside about Tiroler Gröstl. The Gröstl made with Veal is actually called Nobleman/ Lord's or Innsbrucker Gröstl. The typical Tiroler Gröstl is a forester/farmer worker's dish and is made from the poorest cuts of beef and pork. High on fat and calories to give the workers the strength to do the jobs they had to do in winter!

Quote:
Das Tiroler Gröstl ist ein traditionelles österreichisches Pfannengericht, das normalerweise aus gekochten Kartoffeln und in Stücken geschnittenem Rind- oder Schweinefleisch (Schulter oder Schopf) besteht, das gemeinsam mit gehackter Zwiebel in Butterschmalz in einer Pfanne angeröstet wird. Gewürzt wird mit Salz, Pfeffer, Majoran, Kümmel und Petersilie.

Das Gröstl wird oft mit Spiegelei serviert.

Ähnliche Gerichte sind Blunzengröstl, Wurstgröstl und das Herren- oder Innsbrucker Gröstl, das mit Kalbfleisch zubereitet wird.


Tiroler Gröstl is a traditional Austrian pan-fried dish comprising normally of cooked potatoes and pieces of chopped beef or pork (shoulder or salted, not smoked ham). These are pan-fried with chopped onions in clarified butter. Seasoned with salt, pepper, marjoram caraway and parsley.
Gröstl is often served with a fried egg
Similar dishes are Blunzengröstl (Austrian black pudding), Wurstgröstl (sausage Gröstl) and Lord's or Innsbruck Gröstl which is prepared using veal.


In other words it is a cheap, filling peasant's dish like so many mountain recipes that the rich tarted up to make their more refined versions! Toofy Grin

You mean stanton only talks out of his backside when he's talking about Gröstl? wink

That description seems non-committal about the egg, I really do have to insist that mine has an egg on top.

I like the sounds of Blunzengröstl, anyone seen that anywhere in the Arlberg?
