The Rote Wand in Lech: A Culinary Powerhouse

Renowned for its exceptional cuisine, rich fondue tradition, and award-winning Chef’s Table, the Rote Wand Hotel stands as a beacon of culinary excellence. At 1,500 meters above sea level, the heart of its innovation lies within the Culinary Lab, where a new philosophy of what Alpine cuisine is, can be, and should be is taking shape.

The Culinary Lab at the Rote Wand passionately explores the culinary treasures of the mountains: game, fish, mushrooms, wild herbs, forest aromas, and the fruits of its own garden. Blending ancient cooking techniques with state-of-the-art technology, the team crafts an entirely new world of flavors and textures.

In the Friends & Fools Lounge, the Culinary Lab regularly showcases the results of its work. Through cookery and masterclasses, visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the accumulated knowledge: fermentation, butchery techniques, bread baking, wine expertise, and more.

Legendary are the appearances of renowned guest chefs from across Europe, who join forces with the Culinary Lab to create exquisite menus and foster knowledge exchange. Here, urban culinary artistry meets Alpine excellence.
