Ski touring is the highlight for snow sports-fans like you. Our guide Mauro takes you to the most beautiful winter spots in the area and encourages you to constantly improve your performance. Feel the crunching of fresh snow under your feet, breathe in the cold winter air and feel every muscle that takes you up the stunning Dolomite Mountains. Once you are on the top, the Dolomites lies at your feet.
[ride the dolomites] SKI TOURING IN THE DOLOMITES
OUR GUIDE MAURO: As a former ski downhill racer and mountaineer Mauro knows his great love, the Dolomites, like the back of his hand. You can rely 100 percent on him when he takes you to ski touring tours. He is a reliable expert and knows a lot about the snow conditions and avalanches. With him by your side you can concentrate fully on ski touring and you will be sure that you can experience the most stunning spots.
[package] DOLOMITES SKI TOURING CAMP Discover the Dolomite mountains with our ski tour camps. Whenever you are ski touring you can maximise your efficiency using climbing aids.
As a result you can conquer several hundred metres in altitude with little effort and easily reach largely untouched peaks, slopes and valleys. You can of course also conquer all the summits under your own steam without using any aids - the vastness of the mountains provides a breathtaking backdrop for solitary mountain experiences. You also don’t need to worry about the route planning and spots, Mauro, our guide, takes care of that. With our week’s package you can explore the most stunning peaks and softest powder snow slopes in the Dolomites safely without any worries. That’s what real ski touring feels like!

COOKART SOCIAL WORLD
YOUNG COOKS EXCITE THEIR GUESTS AND LIVE THEIR DREAM!
COOKART SOCIAL WORLD “A friendly tone in the team means the atmosphere is good. A good atmosphere motivates people.” In 2009, Martin Mairhofer, a native of Bruneck and also a chef (WACS Global Master Chef) and Certified Dietary Chef of the German Nutrition Society, established COOKART SOCIAL WORLD. Working with young people is particularly close to his heart. With the global encouragement of young people, he has set himself a goal of supporting and motivating young cooks to perform their job with passion.
[interview] TOMAS PEKARCIK Our New Head Chef
With COOKART, he wants to provide young cooks with assistance, a foothold and in particular people to talk to whenever any problems arise. In the meantime, a social network has been developed from it that is becoming bigger and wider as a result of daily growth.
Tomas, our new Head Chef, is also a CookArt chef and learned his trade from Martin Maierhofer, who established CookArt Social World in 2009.
Team spirit, creativity, helpfulness and joie de vivre are the essence of CookArt Social World: an international network of top and junior cooks that has set various goals for itself in line with the slogan “Cooking for a Better World”.
Hi Tomas. Where you were born? I was born in Poprad, Slovakia on 15 February 1983. Where did you learn your profession? I finished my schooling in the SOUS Mokovec Cooking School. I learned cooking with Martin Maierhofer in the last 7 years. Martin incidentally is the founder of CookArt and an awesome teacher and trainer. How important is it for a cook to be passionate? Love, passion and innovation are the most important raw materials in cooking. Because when you cook with these will you succeed in cooking. What’s your favourite dish? I love Italian cuisine and my favourite dish is ... “dulcis in fundo” ... tiramisu. What are your strong points? I have cooked creative local cuisine with Martin Maierhofer in recent years. Our main focus is on fresh local South Tyrol products. But above all ... I love my job!
