As much a part of the mountain world as the summit book on a mountain peak, the mountain huts and refuges of the Eggental valley tempt hikers and skiers alike to take a tasty break. Whether built of stone, or of wood blackened by the sun, they stand along the hiking paths waiting for hungry mountain lovers. Nestling in the magnificent Dolomite landscape, they are the destination for many a trip into the mountains – all year round. So, while the eye feasts on the impressive scenery, the hosts serve up delicious South Tyrolean specialities, cooling refreshments and warming drinks. The table is always ready for appetites big or small – perhaps a brettljause (lunchtime platter) or the typical strauben (spiral fritters). The sun terraces too quietly invite you to stay awhile and indulge yourself, all year round. These huts and refuges are not only a delight for the palate, but also a feast for the eyes!
Dining in the Eggental valley means a concentrated portion of tasty nuances! Every culinary art form is represented here: whether it’s haute cuisine, typical schlutzkrapfen (pasta pockets) or high-quality Eggental grill specialities, one thing is for sure: all is a delight for the palate! Regional dishes and typical South Tyrolean fare, whether skilfully presented by innkeepers or by gourmet chefs – perhaps with a Mediterranean twist, or the totally original and pure flavours of South Tyrol. Food and drink, accompanied by homemade herbal juices or fine wines, are inseparable in the Eggental valley, as indeed they are throughout South Tyrol.
