To be precise, Leutasch, a high valley not far from the resort of Seefeld, between the Tyrolean capital Innsbruck and the Garmisch Partenkirchen in Germany. A great place for hiking, biking, relaxing and a few gastronomic excursions too!

It’s not a long drive from our home, and we arrive with time to spare for lunch. Why not kick off the holidays with a Tyrolean speciality, Kässpätzln – little dumplings with molten cheese and a sprinkling of fried onions, served with a cool Zipfer beer? Hearty mountain fare and just what I need to gear up for the long walks that will follow!
