DEAR GUESTS AND FRIENDS OF THE JAGDHOF, Sensitivity and subtlety: Words full of the promise of responsiveness, delicacy, tenderness and finesse. They appeal to the senses, evoking happiness. Here in Stubai, we find plenty that is subtle alongside nature’s rugged vigour. The fragrance of the forest during mushroom season, when there is a snowy breeze in the air or during the spring thaw. The rays of the sun refracted in the pool water and in the glacier ice. The textures created by our kitchen combined with our fine wines. That velvety feeling you only get after a jOYFUL exfoliating treatment. The adrenaline rush during Tabata training or the irrepressible feeling of freedom when you reach the summit. Life at the Jagdhof and in the Stubai is subtle from body to soul. We look forward to welcoming you! The Pfurtscheller family and the Jagdhof team

FOR THE SLOPES Do you watch in awe as others spend the whole day skiing with barely a break, while your thighs tremble and burn after only your third slope? Then you might like to prepare for your winter sports holiday – it makes all the difference! jFIT coach Niklas Sanin explains how best to train before hitting the slopes, and where at the Jagdhof to find the perfect spot to re-energise.

exclusive How do you start preparing in autumn for a winter of athletic pursuits when you don’t have much equipment available? Niklas Sanin: Tabata training is a great way to get ready for the slopes, and something we offer as part of our weekly jFIT programme – it’s a method of high-intensity interval training, or HIIT for short (more on page 28). Interval training involves trying to delay reaching the aerobic-

What are the best exercises for these short and intense training sessions? Dynamic exercises like burpees, push-ups, squats and lunges work really well, but so do static exercises such as plank, push-up plank, side plank, hollow position and superman position.
What’s the best way to warm up before skiing to avoid injuries? Choose exercises that are gentle and easy to perform – even in full ski gear before boarding our ski shuttle. Examples include arm circles, regular squats, ski squats, swinging your legs forward and backwards as you support yourself on your ski poles, or holding the ski poles at

GUIDE TO
MOUNTAIN HUTS After being buffeted by wind and weather, there are few things to beat the warm welcome of a rustic mountain hut. These shelters epitomise the idea of cosiness. As do the aromas of the food they serve, which tastes even more wonderful for having spent a day in the mountains. Alban Pfurtscheller shares his year-round favourites.
13
Jump for Mouth-watering Delights
Milderaunalm
‘A shared passion for cooking and wine connects me with Christian, the chef at the Milderaunalm. However, the real reason for visiting the Milderaunalm is his hut toast – definitely a signature dish here! The subsequent toboggan ride down to the valley is great fun and the perfect conclusion to a day out in the mountains.’
Auffangalm ‘I also enjoy popping in to see Sandra and Karl Schönherr, the innkeepers at the Auffangalm. They have specialised in our regional cuisine. Sandra bakes her own bread, and the meat, vegetables and herbs come from their farm. Most of all, I love their dumplings. They come in all kinds of variations and are superb with a side dish of their excellent red cabbage. An absolute must: home-made herbal lemonade – tastes divine and sets you up for the toboggan run to come.’
14
tastier LIFE
Galtalm
‘Like us, the Galtalm source their game from their own shoot. When I’m there, I tend to opt for their venison burger with cranberry mayonnaise, balsamic onions, pork belly and wedges. Spending time in innkeeper Johann’s rustic Stube feels just like being at home. Take the Galtalm ski shuttle or embark on a pleasant and not too taxing winter hike.’
15
Jump for Mouth-watering Delights
Koppeneck
‘The Koppeneck is renowned for its traditional cuisine. I always eat cheese spaetzle with chives and fried onions when here. The really special thing about these spaetzle is that they are fried in a cast iron pan, making them taste even better. I’d say it’s an absolute must for fans of Tyrolean cuisine, and brilliant for refuelling before going back into the great outdoors!’
Tschangelair Alm
This mountain refuge at 1,410m
altitude is around 700 years old. At the Tschangelair Alm, I particularly look forward to trout from their own pond, which is fed by the wild waters of the Ruetz. Freshly caught and then fried in a cast-iron pan, the Tschangelair trout is exceptionally delicious. No frills, no fuss – just simply perfect.
16
tastier LIFE
Grawa Alm
‘Whenever I fancy some
Kaiserschmarrn, I’m drawn to the Grawa Alm as if by a magnet. It’s a lovely place with a superb view of the Grawa waterfall. Their version of our traditional Austrian pancake dish is super fluffy and served with fresh apple sauce, an orange slice and cranberries. Perfect when paired with the right wine.’

YOGA IS ... ... Being Present in the Moment
Seasonal Yoga @Jagdhof ‘Our focus areas vary according to the seasons. In autumn and winter, we give priority to warming topics for grounding and comfort. Early in the day, Yoga gets our circulation going, gently waking us up. Each session focuses on specific areas of the body, such as the hips or the heart, and begins and ends with a breathing and meditation practice.’ Claudia Pfurtscheller
jFIT Yoga ABC Hatha Yoga is an umbrella term for physical Yoga styles. Vinyasa Flow is a dynamic and creative Yoga style that allows the teacher to respond to the people in a class and to vary the Asanas accordingly.

Romantic & delightful
Full Body Renew Exceptionally romantic: This Private SPA Suite treatment begins with an enzyme peel to remove dead skin cells. The full effect unfolds after approx. 10 minutes in the steam cabin where you are enveloped by warm steam and a pleasing fragrance. This is followed by a Morpho-Lympho Drainage to support the body’s detoxification. A subsequent bath further enhances the effect of the lymphatic drainage. A signature cocktail of herbal tonics actively combats water retention and cellulite.
TIP: The herbal tonics are available from the jSPA reception.
Singing Bowl Massage The singing bowls emit sound waves that move through the body, stimulating its cells. This releases physical and emotional tension and blockages.
Stubai Hammam A must on cold winter days. The skin is exfoliated, massaged and supplied with active ingredients. A lemon balm bath in the whirlpool promotes deep relaxation. A concluding skincare treatment tailored to your specific needs provides your skin with precisely calibrated nutrients.
Morpho-Digestive Abdominal Treatment The perfect treatment to activate food absorption, promoting the elimination of toxins, stimulating gastrointestinal activity and restoring the body’s natural balance.

The jCURE detox is based on a holistic approach that aims to restore balance to the body. In-depth diagnostic and typological analysis serves as a basis for a treatment plan tailored to your exact type. Treatments are based on Asian and European therapeutic massage techniques to actively support detoxification and purification. In addition, specific treatments are applied to resolve more profound issues and blockages, including those of a psychological nature. Finally, specially constituted active ingredient serums for your individual typology are introduced precisely where your skin needs them: beautiful, healthy skin from within.

Eight hours of hard work: tasting, viewing, sniffing, asking, questioning and taking pictures. Our Jagdhof tour of schnapps producers immersed us deep into the whys and wherefores of Tyrolean spirits, giving us a peek behind the scenes of the best distilleries in the region.
We are Alban Pfurtscheller, scion of the Jagdhof family of hoteliers; Philipp Loimayr, the youngest Jagdhof sommelier; and me: Albin Mayr, head sommelier at the Jagdhof. Today I’d like to tell you the story of a rewarding day out, on which we all learnt a great deal about the art of distilling. The four distilleries we selected for this tour share a long tradition and passion for the art of distilling schnapps. Our foray took us to stills of highly polished copper, through warehouses filled with demijohns and barrique barrels, and into stylish tasting and sales rooms ...

Stop 1 Rochelt artisanal Tyrolean distillery in Fritzens Alexander Rainer, who took over the family business in 2008, welcomes us to the Rochelt distillery in Fritzens. His father-in-law, Günter Rochelt, was a visionary who began to experiment with distilling wild rowanberry in the 1970s. He introduced Alexander to the art of distilling and, over the years, helped him perfect his craft. Günter Rochelt’s fine spirits soon gained an international reputation, facilitated in part by his friendship with some of the German-speaking world’s top chefs, including Eckart Witzigmann, Heinz Winkler und Alfons Schubeck. ‘To make excellent schnapps, you have to use the best quality fruit. So we only harvest when it’s at its peak,’ Alexander explains. Natural fermentation, the gentle traditional double distillation method and years of maturing in demijohns concentrates the fruit’s aroma into its pure essence, making the real Tyrolean schnapps. Our verdict: The result of perfectionism and uncompromising quality: mash is left to ferment naturally before gentle distillation and slow maturation. The results are unfiltered schnapps masterpieces. We tested: Muscatel, Gewürztraminer, Gravenstein apple, quince, mirabelle, Piedmont wild plum, black elderberry and orange.

‘At Rochelt we celebrate the Tyrolean tradition of distilling fruit brandy to create the finest products for cultivated tastes.’ Alexander Rainer

‘The distillation process requires patience and sensitivity to ensure that all of the fruit’s natural aroma is distinguishable in the schnapps.’ Hubert Draxl
Stop 2 Draxl distillery in Inzing As we approach the Draxl family farm, the apple trees form a guard of honour. ‘We are in the heart of the Oberland apple region,’ Hubert Draxl explains. ‘Our inner Alpine altitudes and wide temperature fluctuations between day and night are perfect for fruit growing.’ In the 1990s, Hubert’s father gave up dairy farming – much to most people’s surprise. 30 years on, and we are standing in front of his 3.5-hectare orchard of more than 10,000 thriving trees. ‘As fruit growers, we have specialised in produce that grows in our immediate surroundings.’ Draxl’s 26 different brandies are made from 100% pure fruit, are naturally fermented and double-distilled. The master’s favourite? Masterwort. Its roots are dug up at 2,000 to 2,400m above sea level, dried, crushed, turned into mash with apples and distilled. The result is an earthy flavour with apple in the finish and, so we are told, healing properties. Our verdict: An amazing place with amazing people and spirits: from apples and masterwort to gin and nut liqueur. We tested: Jonagold, Golden Delicious, damson, oak-aged Kronprinz.

The fresh fruit from Mair’s Beerengarten is turned into all kinds of goodies, not just schnapps!
Mair’s Beerengarten in Rietz A beautiful garden, a stall of ripe fruit, berries and all kinds of vegetables – plump and pleasingly irregular, ready for eating ... delicious! Master fruit grower Markus Mair tells us about his parents who swapped the office nine-to-five for life on the farm in the 1980s, resulting in the 7-hectare berry garden we find ourselves in today. His father was a chemical lab technician with a passion for distilling … so one thing naturally led to another. The berries and fruits for their M4 label of fine brandies and liqueurs are grown in Mair’s berry garden in Rietz. These unique spirits are created in interaction with the elements: ‘The Alps’ earth and air bring about the fruit’s intense flavour, the concentrated power of fire distils the finest aromas from the fruit, and the best mountain spring water helps the fine distillates achieve their balanced drinking strength.’ Our verdict: A business that grows its own fruit and makes its own jams and schnapps – quality and tradition at its best. We would have loved to try their wine too. We tested: Yellow plum, apricot, Williams pear, quince, blackcurrant, blueberry, blackberry and raspberry.

‘Our schnapps is a symphony of the best Tyrolean fruit interacting with the four elements.’ Markus Mair

Stop 4 Feindestillerie Kössler in Stanz Christoph Kössler welcomes us to his house, the birthplace of Austrian baroque architect Jakob Prandtauer: ‘In Stanz and in this house, windfalls have always been used to make schnapps,’ he tells us. ‘After completing Due to its high number of distilleries, Stanz was declared the number one distillery village in 2003: there are 60 distilleries and just 200 households!
my first distilling course in 1993, I started to think about producing quality brandies. Fine spirits have to be made from 100% natural fruit without added sugar or additives’, says Christoph Kössler. ‘That only works if you use the best-quality fruit and the most sophisticated processing techniques.’ Classic fruit varieties are grown on their own farm. Everything else is obtained from carefully selected partners. At this

point, Christoph offered us one of his pièces de resistance: Granta Bitter, made with lingonberry, 26 different herbs and honey. ‘We’re introducing new products this year: Zillertal Bier, and the first Tyrolean 18-year-old single malt whisky.’ Kössler also offers seven gin creations, and their bestselling Granta Sprizz ... Our verdict: High-altitude highs in Stanz: indescribable! We tested: Apple & gentian, Dr Jules Guyot pear, Red Williams pear, beer schnapps, blackberry, carrot, apricot, orange muscatel schnapps, quince, Spenling plum, Jerusalem artichoke, black cherry, rowanberry, forest raspberry, wild cherry, stone pine liqueur, Granta Sprizz and Granta Bitter.

‘To make a living from art you need more than talent. You have to be able to pass it on.’ Jens Höpke
Jens Höpke draws inspiration and strength from nature. For the last 30 years, he has been making 3cm tall bronze miniatures at his workshop in the Bavarian town of Mittenwald. Using fire to bring the bronze alloy to life, he combines pieces of rock with tiny miniatures to create a sense of movement, achieving harmony between human and nature: a world in which people adapt to nature and are stirred to think about their own existence.

sensory EXPERIENCES
a i r a M r e d n a x e l A Lohmann Alexander Maria Lohmann travels to remote, barren areas, where he sets up camp, often in unfavourable conditions, and waits for the perfect moment. Whether it is the wildlife of the African savannah or the theatre of war in Syria, his art deals with crossing boundaries and fusing opposites. Lohmann also paints. Using up to two-metre-long squeegees to create abstract oil paintings on canvas, he generates tension by combining photography with painterly abstraction. His new visual and emotional worlds make visible the dignity of wild nature.
