One of Europe's highest 3-Gault-Millau-toque restaurants at 2,085m

How to Complete

3 steps curated by Wine Memories

1. 🍷 1

   Dine at Altitude With Three Toques

   wine $$$

   At 2,085 meters above sea level, Stefan Fahrner runs one of Europe's highest 3-Gault-Millau-toque restaurants at the Galzigbahn mountain station. The Verwallstube serves French-inspired alpine cuisine with exceptional Austrian wines alongside French classics. Book at least 1 week ahead for dinner and tell them you're there for the wine experience - they'll adjust recommendations accordingly. Thursday evenings add candlelight and piano for the full alpine dining theater.

   🔄 BACKUP: Lunch (12-2pm) is easier to book and features the same kitchen - just without the evening atmosphere.

   Taste the Truffle

   Optional

   wine $$$$

   At your table, ask for truffle menu options - Alba white truffles in season, black truffles year-round pair remarkably with Austrian Riesling from Wachau or Kamptal. When ordering, request the Grüner Veltliner Smaragd or Riesling Federspiel as pairing - the minerality cuts through the earthy richness perfectly.

   🔄 BACKUP: If truffle isn't available, the foie gras is equally celebrated and pairs with similar wines.

   Ski Down Under Starlight

   Optional

   adventure Free

   After dinner at the Galzigbahn station, the ski down to St. Anton village is magical - the piste is groomed, village lights glow below, and you've got the mountain nearly to yourself. Check last gondola time if you don't want to ski, but the blue-graded run is well-lit and the reward for staying late.

   🔄 BACKUP: The Galzigbahn runs until after dinner service ends. If you'd rather not ski, ride down.
