HIGH SUMMER TREATS AT SCHLOSSHOTEL FISS

At 1,436m, the exquisite 5-star Schlosshotel Fiss is the Tyrolean hideaway that has it all. Try the new Beef Club or slow food in the restaurant. Hit the pool, watch the sun rise over the mountains from the bedroom or take a sunrise hike, sip the Schlosshotel’s own gin with a raspberry or a pine-flavoured twist. Indelible memories to take away from Austria’s most fashionable destination this summer.

To get in the mood for the Schlosshotel Fiss’s slow food lifestyle, consign the smartphone to the box provided in every room, or avoid temptation by handing it in at reception. Now settle down to explore the Schlosshotel’s slow-food table, starting with a breakfast buffet packed with regional treats including 350 cheeses made by the Gstreins of Roppen (members of the Guilde Internationale des Fromagers). Irresistible fresh bread from the village bakery, organic free-range eggs from a neighbouring farm, honey from the Kaunergrat Nature Park, fruit and vegetables from local suppliers whose names are synonymous with quality and sustainability: at Schlosshotel Fiss, 5-star slow food cuisine is the hallmark of every signature dish.

Schlosshotel Fiss’s new Beef Club steak restaurant celebrates authentic local tradition, in a contemporary Alpine setting complete with deer and chamois antlers on the wall – the perfect context for finest rib-eye, tomahawk and porterhouse steaks. The menu also features rare salt-marsh lamb. The hotel’s hip fine-dining hub is the Big Green Egg: from behind a glass partition, diners watch the kitchen team work its magic with this uber-barbecue, which is made from ceramic developed in conjunction with NASA. The miraculous utensil offers excellent insulation, heat reflection and precise temperature control, for maximum flavour and minimum energy consumption. A green egg in colour and character.

Raise a glass of the Schlosshotel’s own exciting creations, based on its SHF signature gin which is made in collaboration with the award-winning Maass distillery in Prutz. Local favourites include Pine Twist – woody Tyrolean pine flavour best served with Fever Tree Tonic Water; or Raspberry Twist – fruity and slightly bitter with a wild raspberry finish. Bartender Sam Lutz recommends the Strawberry Basil Daiquiri with home-made strawberry pulp and Thai basil and rosemary syrup; the Corn & Oil with home-made falernum syrup; and Black Widow Sour – perfect for hot summer evenings.  Schlosshotel Fiss also makes a wide range of syrups and liqueurs based on elderflower, elderberry, cucumber, vanilla, coffee, cherry, blueberry and passion fruit, as well as lemonades, iced teas, ginger beer and tonic.

The SHF Signature Drinks and exclusives such as Dom Perignon Luminus, Diplomatico Ambassador or Nonino Antica Cuvée are served at the bar to an accompaniment of live music – or outside on the terrace under the stars. You choose.

For even more inspiration from the Schlosshotel’s magical world …

Space. Freedom. Sun. At 1,436m, with panoramic views of the Kaunergrat Nature Park, the peaks of the Ötztal Alps and the mountains of Samnaun, the Schlosshotel experience awaits. Poised on the sunny plateau of Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis in Tyrol, the Schlosshotel Fiss lives up to its stately name with 135 rooms and suites (32 – 105sqm) in an elegant Alpine style. 5,000sqm of wellness and Spa include AquaMonte Waterworld, Splash Waterworld for kids, Family Spa and the Schloss Spa – an oasis primarily dedicated to Alpine healing methods using local herbs. The Schlosshotel’s slow food cuisine offers refined regionality to the highest international standard. Away from the 5-star hideaway, there are sunrise hikes, cycle rides and a whole Alpine world to discover: Funpark Fiss, Thomas C. Brezina’s Adventure Mountains, Lake Högsee, Bikepark, Crystal Cube and the Gourmet Gondola.
