DESTINATION DINING IS ALWAYS IN SEASON Kirchberg in Tirol. Simon Taxacher’s home town. It must be the light touch of the Mediterranean combined with Tyrolean authenticity that attracts gourmets from all over the world to the Rosengarten. Rather than take centre stage himself, Simon Taxacher allows the produce to be the real star. He has been showered with praise and awards, but it is his guests‘ appreciation that he seeks. Some people are born perfectionists, and Simon Taxacher is one of them. He works on every detail in his kitchen with genuine devotion. Each component is carefully added to the whole. Aromas and textures produce a compelling harmony as he transforms each dish into a transcendent canvas of flavours. A meal at Simon Taxacher’s is a treat for all the senses.

Relais & Châteaux Rosengarten. The quintessential boutique hotel. Urban chic. Clear lines. A love for detail. Our top priority is to offer our guests no less than we wish for in our own home. As soon as you come in, you should feel welcome and comfortable. ‘We want all the burdens of the world to be lifted from your shoulders, so that you can be free to enjoy the pleasurable experiences ahead’, says maître de maison Sandra Kobald. She and her team are responsible for creating the impressive setting for these ‘pleasurable experiences’. Thanks to her unerring intuition, she is able to anticipate her guests’ wishes. The Rosengarten’s focus is on the personal approach.

// 170 kilometres of slopes // 51 lifts // 59 huts // 2,004m max altitude // Guaranteed snow from December until April The Kitzbühel/Kirchberg ski area includes the municipalities of Kirchberg/Aschau and Kitzbühel as well as Resterhöhe by the Thurn Pass. Challenging slopes like the legendary ‘Streif’ captivate avid skiers and snowboarders, while the flatter terrain provides the perfect environment for aspiring winter athletes and returners. Even in the dark, the floodlit piste at Gaisberg beckons skiers and tobogganists for an extraordinary experience under a star-lit sky.

Bordering onto the Kitzbühel/Kirchberg ski resort, SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental is a truly impressive ski area. As well as being vast, several renowned test portals have awarded it the status of ‘world’s best ski resort’. Kirchberg/Aschau’s Ki-West lift leads directly to Westendorf. Other attractions include the enchanting Alpeniglu ice and snow village in Hochbrixen and a wealth of spectacular events.

Away from the slopes, the Kitzbühel Alps offer a comprehensive sports programme with access to a 600km cross-country skiing network, winter hiking and ski touring as well as ice climbing, taster biathlons and more. For a leisurely end to the day, you can’t beat a romantic sleigh ride through fresh snow to one of the region’s traditional mountain huts. © Bildarchiv SkiWelt

REVIEW 8 toques & 60 birthday candles at the Relais & Châteaux Gourmet Festival Grands Chefs Simon Taxacher and Norbert Niederkofler from Restaurant St Hubertus at the Rosa Alpina Hotel & Spa in San Cassiano/South Tyrol joined forces during the latest Relais & Châteaux Gourmet Festival in Kirchberg. Compositions of brown trout, of Danube salmon and of venison shared the stage with crayfish, celery and black garlic, beetroot gnocchi with beery crumble, and yoghurt with wheat grass and sweetcorn – all were met with standing ovations. As if that wasn’t reason enough for jubilation, the prestigious Relais & Châteaux hotel association celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. This was marked by a very large birthday cake!

Chef’s Table at Schloss Lerbach

Summer party to celebrate 10 years of the Restaurant Amador

The spotlight at the third Chef’s Table was on the great culinary arts of the Alpine countries. In June, the Althoff Schlosshotel Lerbach in Bergisch Gladbach hosted nine chefs who prepared as many courses to build a culinary bridge between Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

For the Restaurant Amador’s 10th anniversary this year, Juan Amador and Simon Taxacher were joined by other award-winning chefs to rustle up some highly unusual dishes. Each course was accompanied by an exceedingly fine wine. © Schloss Lerbach

On the tracks of the Alpini & Kaiserjäger In remembrance of the outbreak of the First World War 100 years ago, a memorial service was held in Alta Badia in the Dolomites of South Tyrol on 27 June. Award-winning chefs contributed to raising awareness of the events and circumstances of the time. Their recipes documented the austere food at the disposal of people at the front. During the summer season these dishes were available in eight mountain huts in Alta Badia. © Alta Badia – Freddy Planinschek

REVIEW 4 toques ‘for the perfect drive’ Simon Taxacher launched his own golf tournament series. A very special year for golfers, 2014 saw the opening on 9 May of the new Kitzbüheler Alpen Westendorf 18-hole championship golf course. Furthermore, Simon Taxacher launched his own golf tournament series: the first Rosengarten GOURMET GOLF TROPHY and the Rosengarten INTERNATIONAL GOLF OPEN took place at the Westendorf golf course. As well as a perfect game, the Rosengarten also offered a new dimension of culinary delights, including halfway house refreshments by the Windau Lounge terrace, where the star chef himself prepared delectable nourishment. After the last putt on the green, everyone relocated to the Hotel Rosengarten where a great culinary feast, kitchen party and award ceremony was held for both golfers and nongolfers.

Schumacher’s watchmaker

Holger Bodendorf – perfect host & acclaimed gourmet chef

His watches are the most difficult to make: flying tourbillons. Only two are made each year because everything is done by hand. Wilhelm Rieber is probably the best watchmaker in the world...

Like a heart beating in the depths of the movement it rotates and oscillates at the same time. Fine, light, tiny. ‘You simply can’t take your eyes off it’, says Wilhelm Rieber. ‘The tourbillon has that effect on everyone.’ ‘I want to build special watches and preserve the legacy of Abraham Louis Breguet and Alfred Helwig’, says Rieber, referring to his idols and legends of watchmaking who invented the tourbillon and its flying variant.

His love of the sea began early: born 1967 in Heilighafen in East Holstein, Holger Bodendorf spent his childhood by the Baltic Sea. He completed his training as a chef with honours and after gaining a few years of experience, went to work at the Landhaus Stricker on the island of Sylt. Before finally settling there, his travels took him to the Hotel Atlantic in Hamburg and the legendary two-star Petermann’s Kunststuben restaurant in Zurich. In 1992 he returned to Sylt and took over the post of chef de cuisine at Tappe’s Restaurant in Walter’s Hof in Kampen. Four years later, Holger Bodendorf signed up with the Restaurant Veneto in the Hotel Windrose in Wenningstedt where he was awarded his first Michelin Star in 2000. Bodendorf has been in charge of Landhaus Stricker since 2001. As both host and chef de cuisine, he is responsible for the five-star-superior hotel as well as the two restaurants: fresh, light cuisine combined with Landhaus Stricker classics in the Restaurant siebzehn84, and FrenchMediterranean cuisine in Bodendorf’s, the gourmet restaurant. Bodendorf’s has held one Michelin star since 2003. 18 out of 20 Gault Millau points, four points in the Feinschmecker-Guide, and four diamonds in the Varta Guide are just some of the of Bodendorf’s more recent awards.

TIME FOR CELEBRATION!

Hahnenkamm Races 2015 Bollinger Gala @ Rosengarten Grands Chefs Holger Bodendorf & Simon Taxacher stage a gala banquet Saturday, 24 January 2015 – 7pm On the occasion of the 75th Hahnenkamm Races in Kitzbühel, Simon Taxacher and the Champagne house of Bollinger join forces for the first time at the Relais & Châteaux Rosengarten.

At the Relais & Châteaux Rosengarten, he and Simon Taxacher shall perform a brilliant firework of culinary prowess. The 6-course dinner is accompanied by various Champagne Bollinger wines, which perfectly match the creations of the two Relais & Châteaux Grands Chefs. Afterwards, the elegant surroundings of the Lounge Bar invite you to linger and enjoy good company. This will undoubtedly include Wilhelm Rieber, perhaps the best watchmaker in the world. We are delighted that he will be staging an exclusive presentation of his flying tourbillons here at the Rosengarten. The Bollinger Gala is an ode to pleasures and the joys of life par excellence!
