AneCDOTE-COOKBOOK & Cuvée WINE OF HOTEL HOST & SKI WORLD CHAMPION

Cuisine with Michael Walchhofer

World-class-caliber cooking – competitive skiing and fine cuisine have more in common than you might think. At first glance, two disciplines that couldn't be more different. But if you look a little closer, you do see numerous parallels. Every movement, every element of what you do has to be synchronized to perfection, be that the ingredients in the kitchen or your equipment on the piste. If you make it successfully across the "finish line", you can enjoy the sweet taste of success and the amazing flavors of your dish. It goes without saying that Michael Walchhofer is not only an outstanding skier, but also a veritable World Champion of fine flavors.

Kochbuch

Together with our ski world champion Michael Walchhofer, embark on a culinary journey into the fascinating world of the Ski World Cup. These refined, original compositions are easy to prepare and whet your appetite to make them right there in your own kitchen. A mixture of cooking ideas and anecdotes, “Abgefahren aufgekocht” is available at the reception or simply order by email.

An outstanding wine turns a dish into something truly special. Finely tuned to one another, the joyful interplay of aromas conjures up memorable flavor experiences. Inspired by the numerous sporting successes of Michael Walchhofer, vintner Gerhard Pimpel from Göttlesbrunn, in close cooperation with the ski star, created a red-wine cuvée with the resonant name “Cuvée Downhill 04”. The combination of Merlot and Blauer Zweigelt originates in the Carnuntum wine-growing region of Lower Austria. This successful collaboration has spanned years. The cuvées “Downhill 09” and “Downhill 11” were each awarded 93 Falstaff points, putting them amongst the very best red wines in Austria. Convince yourself of the high quality of these wines as you enjoy a glass at our 4-star Hotel Zauchensee Zentral in Salzburger Land.
