FOR YOUR PLEASURE
For all those who value a special lifestyle, comfort and luxury take on an overriding importance. These are things defined by steadiness, durability, sustainability, excellent design and discreet service. Adhering to the GlobeAir motto “The First Choice for My Bespoke Experience,” we invite you to undertake a journey with us through the world of premium living, design and lifestyle.
St. Moritz, the “cradle of winter tourism,” is a hotspot of alpine lifestyle. A glamourous ice-happening for automobile enthusiasts at that venue numbers among the most desirable events of the coming season. “Stars on Wheels” are things which can be admired and also acquired at such an Oldtimer collection. Such luxury investments – as well as others – can be insured to the hilt at an institute which specialises in precisely those kinds of items.
In the Kitzbühel Alps and on Lake Garda, real estate highlights touch base and have a get-together which embodies brand new standards. Impulses reaching their pinnacle are set by a specialist for innovative fireplaces, exclusive Italian design technology for kitchen, bath and well-being areas, alongside a wood construction company which is successful even in the U.S.A. Also, stylish designs of renowned brand names will doubtless inspire you in this edition.
The empowering, vitalising force of snow is something you can experience in your own four walls all year round, thanks to a South Tirolean company’s new wellness invention. The scent-spreading compositions of a certain Austrian manufacture are, it would appear, an unparalleled complement. Longevity and remaining fit and strong are far more than a lifestyle trend. Exclusive retreats support you in this effort through easily implemented strategies.
You will also find on our journey, apart from all that: worldwide sought-after photographic art in a gallery which blazes somewhat different paths in pursuit of personal counsel and support; a romantic mountain lodge in South Tirol; culinary enjoyment stopovers in the Alps; a highlight for those who wish to fly all by themselves; bespoke skiing “slats” for sophisticated skiers; and – actually rather suitable – perfect outfits for slope and après-ski. And should you get tempted and be drawn still further afield into the far distance, we recommend heli-skiing in the north of Iceland, a lifestyle hotel on Mallorca, or cruises through the Caribbean and to South Africa. They will assuredly open new dimensions in the categories of luxury and private services.
We look forward to accompanying you on this flight and wish you a pleasant stay in your target destination.
With warmest wishes,
Walter & Etha Taferner Publishers

BURNING WITH ENTHUSIASM
Fireplaces speak to the five senses in a very special way: the fascinating crackle of flames, the gentle hues generated along with the spicy scents of wood, not to forget the snuggly warmth that embraces body and soul simultaneously. The individually designable fireplaces of Austria’s premium manufacturer Mandl & Bauer radiate warmth, generate wow effects and heighten the joys of being alive.
THESE MODELS RESEMBLE MORE AND MORE THE PRIMEVAL FIREPLACE WITH WOOD, INCLUDING GLOWING EMBERS AND FLYING SPARKS.
YYou see it, you hear it, you smell it, you feel it: the primal power which is emanated by a fireplace and draws human beings into its aura. For reasons such as these, it is no wonder that the advantages of your own fireplace are highly appreciated in times of rising energy prices.
After all, apart from its functional use as an efficient source of warmth, it also generates extravagant accents in your living room, and rapidly advances to become the heartbeat of the house... and that means all year long. Mandl & Bauer offers a bevy of premium fireplaces which dazzle both users and onlookers through their perfect symbiosis of functionality, comfort and design. And, it goes without saying, Mandl & Bauer, apart from producing and saving warmth, has always held high the values and standards of safety.
REGARDLESS WHETHER RUSTIC COUNTRY-HOUSE STYLE OR ...
... alpine flair, modern purism, or even a cool, loft look: fireplaces by Mandl & Bauer can be individually designed with authentic materials according to your own personal tastes and inklings, your dreams and your living style.
A particular eyecatcher is created from models which are glassed-in on three or even four sides and can be placed right in the centre of a room. The glass door which is used to feed in the burnable materials, and which serves as a spark barrier when closed, can be conveniently controlled by remote control, without any need for grips, handles or frames.
TOP QUALITY IN MATERIALS, APPEARANCE, DESIGN...
... were thrust to the top of priorities by Mandl & Bauer, Europe’s exclusive fireplace specialist. Each year, about 250 fireplaces are designed, manufactured and installed by them, e.g. in Zurich, Moscow, Munich. Prominent customers are on the list, just as young newlyweds and architectural freaks. Under all circumstances, Mandl & Bauer guarantees a creative and technically perfect solution. Their products are highly appreciated by renowned architects with whom Mandl & Bauer frequently collaborates upon request of clients, to create innovative, safe and perfect solutions – both visually and technically.
PURISM PAR EXCELLENCE
Clear-cut lines, restrained colours and original materials are still high in fashion in interior decoration and form the foundations of a puristic living concept. In order to adapt this popular style to the construction of fireplaces, Mandl & Bauer has developed some models which impress all lovers of this genre with its restrained-yetconspicuous visual design. The play of flames is what comes into focus.
Apart from fireplaces with a formed body of hand-wrought or bronzed metal, the trendy material of concrete is also on offer as a futuristic, suggestive and timelessly elegant design: this robust material easily tolerates temperatures of 1200 degrees and can be used literally anywhere, in exterior walls or interior ones. For those who love individuality, the body can also be of stone or ceramic, the appearance of a fireplace is flexible and can accord with the whims of your personal desires, as well as your personal living style. For those who aim for the highest possible comfort, gas-fired fireplaces are also available. These models resemble more and more the primeval fireplace with wood, including glowing embers and flying sparks.

POWER FOR THE PISTE
HAIDENSKI addresses its message to sophisticated ski sports people who value premium quality and precisely handcrafted products to thereby excel above the masses through a new customer-oriented concept: every ski is an individually custommade composition suited to the needs and wishes of each single customer including tailor-made decorations.
ATHE ROBUST STEEL EDGES ARE PARTICULARLY WIDE AND LONG-LIVED.
At a small manufacture, Gerhard Haiden has for 16 years been developing the perfect ski with materials such as basalt, carbon, bamboo and titanal. Since 2012, HAIDEN has been a synonym for innovation and top quality, ongoingly striving to raise the level of ski sports through the manufacture of highperformance equipment and bringing it to market. Entrepreneur Manfred Nagl at his company Hilitech produces light-weight parts of carbon and various composites for luxurious business jets, yachts, etc. In his free time, he loves nothing more than to trace a ribbon-like path on skis through the deep snow of Obertauern. In other words, the very best prerequisites for a new symbiosis of man-and-company: since summer 2023 under the name of HAIDENSKI manufacturing the most highly sophisticated ski products the world has ever seen.
MATERIAL, TECHNOLOGY, SETTING
HAIDENSKI utilises only the rarest premium materials, such as cores of ash wood, whose trees were felled two days before full moon under the zodiac sign of Scorpio, something which has proven to be especially flexible and sturdy. Black World Cup facelayering obtained from a specially developed grinding process accelerates faster and persists at that high speed. The robust steel edges are particularly wide and long-lived.
For these skis, which are only available through special single-specimen order, the structure is a unique composition of the most refined materials known to humankind, e.g. carbon, titanal, poplar and ash. One of the essential features is the utilisation of basalt fibre. This material is obtained from volcanic
THE ’CARBON‘ AND ’WOOD‘ DECORATIONS ARE DISTINGUISHED BY THE USE OF EXQUISITE NATURAL MATERIALS AND HAND CRAFTSMANSHIP.
MANFRED NAGL & GERHARD HAIDEN
THE HAIDENSKI PRODUCTS
PRO CARVE racing ski provides top level performance in slalom with super-fast handling, edge grip and stability. Race finish-edges and P-Tex racing surface make it the perfect choice for difficult pistes.
PERFORMANCE skis provide multi-faceted skiing pleasure for racers and hobby skiers. Hand finished with precise sidecuts for nimble agility and control on any and all pistes.
BACKCOUNTRY is an all-round, all-performance ski. Tip & Tail Rocker for flexible manoeuvrability. An ideal partner off-piste out in open terrain with top achievement levels in highly variable conditions.
The FREERIDE skis are flawless for deep-snow adventures on big lines. The powder 115 ensures ultimate thrust and nimble turnability. With Rocker profile for manoeuvrability; and cork plus natural rubber for stability.
stone and possesses ideal cushioning characteristics, it literally absorbs jolts and vibrations and is for that reason of particular advantage to skiers with spinal disc problems. In order to underscore the unparalleled quality of what traditional handcrafted workmanship and high-tech functionality can generate, the ski is subsequently ornamented with an exclusive laser-engraved logo.
Each ski can be tested before purchase. Thereafter, HAIDENSKI adapts its manufacture to the specific wishes of the customer, modifying each pair of skis accordingly. Thus, skiers have the direct possibility to see their very own personal needs and demands implemented in the setting they use.
ART ON SNOW
HAIDENSKI cooperates with Austrian artists who are offered an opportunity to present their art on skis through the “Artist Series.” The “carbon” and “wood” decorations are distinguished by the use of exquisite natural materials and hand craftsmanship. The individualised structure and design ensure a long life of pleasurable use with this product. Within the hallowed halls of this branch, they are emblematic of an above-average product cycle length.

BEYOND PRIVATE JET TRAVEL
An exclusive interview with Jean-Eudes Fauville, Partnership and Business Development Manager at GlobeAir, on the company’s approach to private aviation.
SINCE ITS INCEPTION, GLOBEAIR HAS CONSISTENTLY LED THE WAY IN INNOVATION.
What do you think sets GlobeAir apart in the competitive field of private aviation?
In the dynamic business aviation world, GlobeAir distinguishes itself by ensuring that every journey not only meets but exceeds our client's expectations. Our clients are experienced travellers who have explored all corners of the world and enjoyed the finest that life has to offer, making it crucial for us to understand their context and preferences. Our expertise lies in curating and delivering truly exceptional experiences for even the most discerning of travellers. Our Experience Concierge team is dedicated to crafting exclusive, high-quality moments that create lasting memories – experiences that money cannot buy. These include private dinners under the Northern lights, bespoke cultural immersions with local experts, access to sold-out sporting events, or a VIP family day at an amusement park. At GlobeAir, we have always valued visionary leadership, exemplified by our Austrian CEO, Bernhard Fragner, who has been guiding our journey since its inception 15 years ago.
Can you share a story of a unique client request that you have managed recently?
The landscape of luxury service is one where the extraordinary becomes the ordinary; at GlobeAir, we believe that saying 'no' to a client’s dreams and expectations is not an option. Instead, we see these requests as opportunities to push the boundaries of what is possible in private aviation.
One vivid example involved a seemingly straightforward request that turned into a touching testament to our dedication: A client reached out with what appeared to be a standard charter flight request, but it soon became something extraordinary. The client explained that their beloved dog longed to stroll in London’s Hyde Park that very day, requiring a last-minute private jet solution. Embracing the spirit of service that defines GlobeAir, our team immediately began crafting a tailored flight experience, ensuring meticulous attention to every detail.
Seeing the joy on both the owner’s and the dog’s faces upon their return was a powerful reminder of our commitment to exceeding expectations, no matter how unconventional the request. It wasn’t just a flight; it represented GlobeAir’s dedication to making the seemingly impossible possible.
Why has GlobeAir embraced cryptocurrency as a form of payment, and what has been the impact?
Since its inception, GlobeAir has consistently led the way in innovation. Four years ago, during the rise of digital currencies, we made a bold decision to become pioneers in accepting cryptocurrency for European private aviation. Recognising the increasing influence of digital currencies, we quickly integrated this option into our payment systems, extending an open invitation to the crypto community to experience our services. The response exceeded our expectations – cryptocurrency transactions now account for 30% of our total payments, marking this initiative as a monumental success. This reflects a broader trend among discerning travellers who are deeply involved in the digital currency ecosystem and for whom the option to pay with cryptocurrencies is not only preferred but expected.
What are the key trends and markets you foresee in the future of private aviation?
The future of private aviation is undeniably promising, challenging many of the existing narratives about the industry. In an era marked by commercial airline unpredictability – characterised by strikes, delays, cancellations, and escalating costs – the appeal of private flying has grown stronger than ever. As a result, we are witnessing an increase in first-time private flyers who, after experiencing the convenience, efficiency, and enhanced quality of travel, are committed to continuing this lifestyle in the long term.
Historically, GlobeAir has focused primarily on Europe and European clients. However, with the evolving dynamics of global travel, we have embraced a more international outlook, expanding our services to flights around the globe. While Europe remains our primary market, we are observing a shift in customer demographics, with younger clients from diverse regions such as the USA, China, and the Middle East increasingly chartering our services. This shift not only diversifies our clientele but also enriches the overall GlobeAir experience with fresh perspectives and new demands.
Our ambition is to continually explore emerging markets, confident that the entire globe is our operational area and that adaptability is the key to our success.
This ethos extends beyond simply expanding our client base; it involves nurturing long-lasting relationships with our existing clients while rolling out the red carpet for newcomers. Looking to the future, GlobeAir is committed to pioneering new frontiers in private aviation, driven by innovation, a client-centric approach, and a deep understanding of the evolving landscape of global travel. Wherever and whenever you need to fly, GlobeAir will be ready to serve.
REDUCING WITH STYLE
If we follow the lead of our hearts, we sometimes let time come to a standstill. Such quiet luxury generates new worlds of thought which find expression in mindful architecture.
ust imagine, if you followed the lead of your innermost voice, and let time simply come to a standstill here and there. You close the door and leave the world outside. That is the entirety of the niksen principle: not being obligated to do a single thing. Because everything is already here.
POLARISINGLY BEAUTIFUL
The architectural style of niksen house combines mountains and nature in modern and unique ways. It has been furnished by Aufschnaiter Interior with noble designer pieces and premium quality oneof-a-kind. Classic forms and grounded-to-earth colours create the overall tone, generating a gingerly constructed framework which permits sufficient room for individual values and elements to find their place.
The location is nothing less than perfect: in Kirchberg, just a stone’s throw from the year-round luxury destination of Kitzbühel. In the three niksen house sanctuaries which are for sale, the wish for permanence becomes reality at nearly 900 metres altitude, in a serene spot on a gentle mountain slope with the possibility of ski-in/ski-out as well as breathtaking views over the vast mountain world.
ANCHOR IN THE EARTH
Luxury and serenity merge in the approximately 230m2 large garden apartment with about 100m2 of spacious terrace. The sanctuary is divided into two bedrooms with bathrooms en-suite, a master bedroom with master bath, a large living/dining area, wardrobe, guest toilet, utility room, private spa including a sauna, shower, toilet, space for fitness equipment and a large chill-out zone with day bed.
THE MIDDLE KINGDOM
The middle kingdom is occupied by the largest unit: 270m2 of pure living space plus approximately 69m2 of terrace ambience. It consists of master bedroom with master bath, two bedrooms with en-suite baths, an office or guest bedroom with en-suite bath, large wide-open living/dining area, utility room, wardrobe, guest toilet, as well as a well-being area including sauna, shower, toilet and daytime bed, all of which adds up to a residence dream turned to reality.

FEEL-GOOD CHALET
SENSES
Elaborate Tirolean architecture and traditional materials have placed a striking imprint on this special home located on an elevated panorama site. Accessible only via a private road, pampered by extraordinary amounts of sunshine and with legally-protected views of the fascinating mountain world, this newly built and ready-for-occupancy chalet fulfils the very highest of demands.
It lies ensconced harmoniously in the lap of nature, where an ingenious concept of room and space has been realised and, with much love of detail, generated as cosy rooms to live in. Custom-made furniture from local carpenters and craftsmen mix exactingly with the Italian designs of Minotti, Flexform and Poltrona Frau.
In the selection of materials utilised, high priority was set both on sustainability and the highest available quality, completed through formidable workmanship. A variety of loden wool, leather and linen was employed to create the perfect interior decoration, the Skyframe Minimal Windows provide maximum views into the vast stretches as far as the horizon,
and local raw materials such as wood and natural stone, alongside typical landscape plants, were used to create the ultimate sculpted living zones. The indoor living area has a visible roof truss of old wood, the fireplace is open, lending a particularly warm and hearty atmosphere to the ensemble, the bedrooms have refined bathrooms en-suite with sanitary fixtures by Gessi and Antoniolupi, the exclusive hazelnut wood sauna is further upgraded by views into the valley, a lift whisks residents to all floors, and state-of-the-art house technology, including allsurface wide WiFi & BUS system, alarm system with external protection, automated living room ventilation, heating via environmentally friendly earth warmth, spacious garage, etc. all form part of the rapturous whole. Terraces, a roofed-over seating area outdoors, balconies and a small garden flank the house.
To put it in a nutshell: this is the ideal, an unsurpassable spot to break loose from everyday life and enjoy the most pleasurable hours together with family and friends.

LONGEVITY WELLNESS FOR A LONGER LIFE
We’ve heard and read a lot lately about longevity, whenever the secrets of good health and active aging are in the focal point. To live long and at the same time to remain physically and mentally fit – the chances of reaching that goal have never been so good. Life expectancy has doubled over the last century. The basic formula for its achievement: healthy diet and physical activity. Longevity Retreats have picked up the ball and run with it: in beautiful surroundings they create a temporary time-out from everyday life, making new things possible, reducing stress and assisting you to slow down, calm down, become deeply tranquil. Above all else they offer wide-ranging diagnostic tests upon which individual treatments can then be structured. And they support you in implementing easily applied strategies for a healthy lifestyle. Here are a few exclusive examples.
Living better for longer – that is the claim and primary goal of the Lanserhof Concept. Developed over three decades and matured in daily practice, this approach is based on the valuable findings of naturopathy, energy medicine, psychology, psychoneuroimmunology, chronomedicine and modern cutting-edge medicine.
FOR THE FOOD LINE OF PALAZZO FIUGGI, WHERE EATING IS CONSIDERED MEDICINE, MASTER CHEFDE-CUISINE HEINZ BECK, DECORATED WITH THREE MICHELIN STARS, IS IN CHARGE.
PALAZZO FIUGGI
Eighty kilometres east of Rome lies Fiuggi. The tiny city has been well-known for its natural mineral water and healing sources, cures, health and revitalisation treatments for body and soul at Palazzo Fiuggi for hundreds of years. The programmes carried out in this fin-de-siecle palace with its own medical spa are dedicated to the themes of detoxification & weight goals, restore & balance, as well as longevity. For the food line of Palazzo Fiuggi, where eating is considered medicine, master chef-de-cuisine Heinz Beck, decorated with three Michelin stars, is in charge. www.palazzofiuggi.com
SHA WELLNESS CLINIC
Due to a worrisome medical diagnosis, Alfredo Bataller Parietti sought out solutions for his longenduring medical complaints and problems through integrative medicine and a healthy diet. It proved successful. This highly valuable experience was something he then wanted to share with others, to help them along the self-same path towards a longer and better life. Today the SHA brand stands for integrative health care, prevention of all ills and complaints, and longevity. In the SHA Wellness Clinic in L’Albir, near Alicante, Spain, and also at the resort in Mexico opened in 2024, healthy eating is the tool of choice leading to nature therapies, preventive medicine and all-round fitness. There are no limits to what can be done to improve and optimize the health of the guests. www.shawellness.com
GUESTS ARE ASKED TO FOREGO THE USE OF THEIR DIGITAL DEVICES.
KAMALAYA
Through holistic, all-encompassing healing launched on the inside, Kamalaya in Koh Samui, Thailand, provides solutions to the problems of stress and sets the cornerstone of rejuvenating mind, body and soul. The suites and villas of the resort savour unparalleled views over the jungle or the turquoise-hued waters of the Gulf of Thailand, inspiring your relaxation a further notch. In order to help you temporarily switch off the noise of the outside world, guests are asked to forego the use of their digital devices. Through more than seventy therapies and treatments in holistic medicine stemming from Eastern and Western medicine on offer right on location, Kamalaya Wellness Centre improves and optimizes the well-being of its guests. In addition, optional courses are provided, ranging from Pilates, Yoga, Qi Gong and Meditation all the way to Tai-Chi and Core-Fitness. In the Longevity House, what’s more, the Kamalaya Resort also offers regenerative treatments and therapies to further underpin the well-being of its guests. www.kamalaya.com
CHIVASOM
Chiva-Som in Hua Hin, Thailand has been a hallmark of custom-tailored luxury wellness retreats for more than a quarter of a century. As a consequence of this unusually venerable expertise and also due to its paradise-like location extending over seven hectares of terrain on the Gulf of Thailand, Chiva-Som (incidentally the very first wellness resort in Asia) was presented with the Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards and the proud distinction “Top Destination Spa Resort in the World”. Its far-reaching repertoire of offerings includes physiotherapy, nutritional consulting, fitness, spa and beauty treatments, all of which make it possible to bring body and mind back into harmonious functioning as a unit and thereby, to achieve genuine well-being, while at the same time supporting your physical, emotional and spiritual rejuvenation. www.chivasom.com/en

THE KEY TO REGENERATION AND REVITALISATION OF THE FLOWING JUICES OF LIFE IS TO BE FOUND IN THE HEALTHY STATE OF THE GUT: THE MICROBIOME.
LANSERHOF
The name Lanserhof, whose cradle of origin lies in Lans near Innsbruck, with additional resorts in Tegernsee and on Sylt – and, we might add, also on Marbella as of 2026 –has for more than 40 years been a synonym for holistic, all-round medicine and sustained regeneration and prevention. The Lanserhof concept is based on a symbiosis of traditional natural healing methods, on the one hand, and innovative diagnostics and discoveries of modern medicine on the other. The key to regeneration and revitalisation of the flowing juices of life is to be found in the healthy state of the gut: the microbiome. A strictly regulated diet of less than 500 calories daily cleans, clears and purges the intestines so that regenerative therapies can have optimal effect. www.lanserhof.com

THE SCENTS OF NATURE
Any story that tells us of the beauty of a carefree life on the high alpine pastures we know straightaway is genuine. That means the fog dispersing in early morning, receding over the mountain ridge, leaving fresh, clear air in its wake. We take a deep breath and we edge up a little closer to the storyteller, namely, to a handcrafted scented candle by Looops.
Warming scents like “Abendgold” with real vanilla or “Sternenzelt” with star anise and orange are particularly popular in the colder months.
All of us can remember such moments, moments we have savoured in places which are so special, so unmistakable and have such a distinctive, inimitable scent that we could recognise it in an instant. For example, a serene stroll through the forest, a wild victory cry at the summit of a mountain peak in early morning, or refreshing our tired limbs in a cool mountain stream. Through photographs we can capture these experiences, even hang a memento on our walls. But why do we forget the inspiring powers of their scents? It’s a flaw which two nature lovers, Julia Schliefsteiner and Markus Niederfriniger, became intensely aware of more than ten years ago and set out to rectify. Nevertheless, their long search for natural candles without irritating artificial notes was in vain. And so they followed their noses and began to conserve the scents of nature in the Salzburg countryside themselves, then to immortalise them in handcrafted candles made of plant-based wax and 100% natural essential oils. It was the birth of the brand Looops.
TIMELESS AESTHETICS
Today the two entrepreneurs and their team run a truly unique scent manufacture in Salzburg with the highest degree of professionality and unbounded passion. Online as well as in more than 300 partner shops in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the brilliant and pleasant products by Looops are sold, e.g. at Manufactum, Monocle Meran or Reformhaus Staudigl. The overall concept convinces everyone, gains the acclaim of customers right from the start, bonding them enthusiastically to nature and to other human beings. The high quality of the products also includes refined designs and scent-spreading power.
SENSUOUS DELIGHT
THE HIGH QUALITY OF THE PRODUCTS ALSO INCLUDES REFINED DESIGNS AND SCENT-SPREADING POWER.
At their manufacture, 100% naturally scented candles, room sprays, reed diffusers, essential oil blends and related accessories are produced. The 15 current scents in their repertoire accentuate individual needs and desires for relaxation, energy, balance and becoming grounded.

PARADISE ON LAKE GARDA
The entrance driveway to Residence Miralago is via the Maoni Alti road, from there you reach the private parking places. The parking bays are roofed over by a pergola which has a photovoltaic system installed on top. Two lateral staircases take you directly and exclusively via your own personal access to your apartment. Residence Miralago boasts a large-sized common garden and swimming pool with views of the lake. The property lot is wreathed in beautiful local plants and olive trees. The lounge lawn and green-grass surfaces beckon residents to a relaxing session of sunbathing and serenity.
THE TWO APARTMENTS ...
... are located on the first floor and are utterly separated and independent of one another, since each has its own private entrance. Their large utilisable surface provides room for two bedrooms, a bathroom, a spacious living/cooking zone and a storage room. The wide-scale windows and frameless glass panes
capture the landscape and generate a gentle harmony of indoor and outdoor spaces.
Premium quality materials, generously proportioned interior surfaces, a private terrace, a highly exclusive site and splendid lake views make these apartments truly unique products of superior quality. The apartments are also partially protected by a green visionblocking separation between the two units.
THE SITE
The town of Costermano sul Garda is accessed via the route over the Brenner on the A22 autostrada. From the Affi exit it is only a 10 to 15 minutes’ drive. The town lies above the Gulf of Garda, ensconced in a hilly green landscape with lovely views of the lake. Residence Miralago is situated in idyllic surroundings in the midst of lovely natural scenery, no more than a few metres distant from the centre of the village and its all-important infrastructure facilities.

CESSNA CITATION M2 GEN2
WITH NO DETAIL TOO SMALL, THIS AIRCRAFT ANSWERS TO ALL AMBITIONS
Ideal for corporate, charter or private use, the Citation M2® Gen2™ jet features enhanced interior lighting, cabin technology and the Garmin® G3000® flight deck with touchscreen avionics suited for a single pilot.
YOU HAVE A VISION.
THIS IS HOW YOU GET THERE.
Investing in the needs of their customers and innovating beyond imagination led to the latest entry-level jet of Textron Aviation. With a perfect balance of cockpit upgrades and a comfortable cabin, pilots and passengers will feel at home in the sky. Since the Citation M2® jet was first introduced in 2013, it has quickly become one of Textron’s most popular light jet models – in particular with owner/operator customers. Building on its already outstanding performance capabilities and flexibility, the Citation M2® Gen2™ aircraft brings the latest cabin amenities and technological advances often found in larger jets to the light jet segment.
No detail is too small when shaping customer flight experiences. Crafted with extensive customer feedback, the Cessna® Citation M2® Gen2™ aircraft was built with pilots and passengers in mind. With features that embody the latest in technology and design, this aircraft represents Textron’s commitment to continue to bring best-in-class performance and features to their customers.

With versatile storage and seating options, up to 45 kg of additional inflight, accessible luggage can be carried while retaining serious jet performance. With this reimagined jet, flexibility is the only thing that’s final.
Productivity is also bolstered with the latest technology in the cabin such as wireless smartphone charging capabilities and USB-C ports at each cabin seat. In the cockpit, three inches of legroom have been added to the co-pilot's seat position for enhanced comfort, and fully integrated Garmin® autothrottles reduce pilot workload.

“WE ARE GOING TO SEE LOTS OF NEW CLIENTS”
SANDRA AHRABIAN, CEO OF BAVARIA AG, LOOKS IN THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR AT AN INTERVIEW FOR THE COMPANY AND EVALUATED THE CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS OF THE BRANCH.
Streifzug: Ms. Ahrabian, BAVARIA AG celebrated its th anniversary last year. What were the highlights?
Sandra Ahrabian: Well, there certainly were some of those. To start with, at the ‘boot Dusseldorf’ we received many good wishes from our partners and clients. We had our official main anniversary celebrations in Cannes at a grand dinner with our best longtime sales partners. Our involvement in the segment of large-scale yachts is becoming
ever more rewarding, we are insuring more and larger yachts. In the automobile area, the highlights surely include the invitation-only event THE ICE in St. Moritz, the Kitzbühel Alpen-Rallye, of which we were a sponsoring partner, and my participation in the Finali Mondiali at Ferrari.
Not a highlight, but of course a drastic and shocking event were the floods on the Baltic Sea coast, in which hundreds of boats were damaged. At
BAVARIA AG we processed the damages which were reported as a high-pressure necessity, much to the satisfaction of our clients. Nonetheless, we all need to be even better prepared in future, since such wild and capricious weather will be on the increase.
Streifzug: What were the lessons learned at the last yacht shows?
Sandra Ahrabian: When the geopolitical situation is tranquil, clients tend to acquire large assets with great confidence. For that reason, the statistics for charter yachts, brokerage yachts and newly constructed yachts are a bit lower than in 2023. The year 2024 has seen 176 used superyachts over 30 metres change ownership up to late July, about 10 % behind compared to late July 2023, when the industry had counted 194 sales. For the full year 2023, the statistics show 311 sales, down from 408 sales in 2022 which was an enormous year. For the full year 2024 lots of brokers would expect close to 300 used yacht sales over 30 metres and a return
to pre-Covid levels. Regarding new builds we see a downturn in the lower end of the market while the segments 40 to 50 metres or 80 metres plus remain quite strong. Overall my expectation is that 25 to 30 less yachts over 30 metres will be sold in 2024; my outlook for 2025 is nevertheless very positive.
Streifzug: Does that mean the yachting branch can be expected to develop more stably?
Sandra Ahrabian: It will grow, no question about it. According to forecasts of the big UBS bank, worldwide wealth will increase by no less than 38 percent over the next five years and amount to a total of 629 billion U.S. dollars in the year 2027. Growth in countries with median incomes will be the main motor behind all this. The UBS estimates that the average worldwide income will reach 110,000 dollars per adult in 2027 and that of extremely wealthy persons will probably reach 372,000 dollars. If we extrapolate from the fact that of these clients only about two percent own a large-scale yacht, the chances for all providers in yachting are immense.
Streifzug: What do you expect for the next year, as regards boat and yacht sales and also as regards BAVARIA AG?
Sandra Ahrabian: In a society which is encumbered by ever increasing restrictions, only on the water there is still a certain amount of freedom. I expect that boat sales will continue to develop positively as long as prices remain in a healthy relationship with the products themselves. BAVARIA AG continues to draw large numbers of clients, particularly as a result of our outstanding service, something which is spread by word of mouth among our clients and property owners. We are a very personoriented company where there is always a human being to answer the telephone and talk to callers, not a machine.
Streifzug: Where can your clients meet with you all over the year?
Sandra Ahrabian: It goes without saying that we are represented at all the big trade fairs and events of the yachting branch, whether in Palma, Cannes, Monaco, Fort Lauderdale or of course in Dusseldorf where we have our own booth installed. My crew and I are also regularly on-site at our business locations in Hamburg, Palma and Antibes.
Streifzug: How do things look in other segments where BAVARIA AG is active?
Sandra Ahrabian: Our classic-car and airplane insurance programmes are also much in demand. For our services in airborne businesses, we have just been distinguished by an award for excellence. Something brand new at BAVARIA AG, on the other hand, is hypercar insurance, in other words, for super sports cars. We already have several in our portfolio, even right after we launched the product.
I EXPECT THAT BOAT SALES WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP POSITIVELY AS LONG AS PRICES REMAIN IN A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PRODUCTS THEMSELVES.

CHEVROLET MALIBU HARDTOP COUPÉ
Year of manufacture: 1967
Motor: 5.4-litre V8 Power: 220 HP
Features: Classic Muscle Car
In this collection, timeless automobile masterpieces of the 20 th century all come together. Stars on wheels hailing from a time when “autonomous driving” really meant that you yourself held the steering wheel and everything else in your own hands. It was not only unparalleled freedom, it was also the true art of driving, in other words, keeping those skills alive without being yapped at by a computer voice, or hearing beep-tones every time you did something untoward. These are cult objects with personality and character, not to speak of a highly attractive potential in financial value.

STEVE MCQUEEN
unique opportunity is provided here to invest in automobile legends. Ranging from the Corvette C2 Convertible to the Chevrolet and El Camino SS 396. From the Hudson Business Six Series 98 Cap Pickup all the way to the Dodge Polara and Dodge Charger and lots more besides which was sung about in the songs of Elvis Presley and Bruce Springsteen. With star appearances in cult movies and TV series such as “Bullitt” and Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” to name but a few choice film nuggets. These cars were ennobled by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Steve McQueen and Bob Seeger.
Put slightly differently, nowadays, in which modern computer on four wheels would it be possible to savour such a cool, laid-back feeling as in the cultish 1975 funk treasure “Low Rider” from the “War”
group (also known from collaboration with Eric Burdon). Where would that be feelable, pray tell?
DRIVING AS A PASSION
This collection is also conceived as an “homage” – a reverent tipping of the hat – to the golden days of automobile history. It is addressed to car lovers, collectors and investors in equal measure. Each and every vehicle has been taken extra special care of, maintained in tip-top shape in order to preserve its gleam and glamour and extend the selfsame authentic experience also to future generations. These automobiles seduce you to an era when driving was not a necessity, but a passion. Each oldtimer tells its own story, bearing the imprint of those epochs when they were built and of the people who drove them.

These Classic Cars are not merely valuable emotionally, they also possess a remarkable financial value. The market for them has grown startlingly over the last few decades. More and more collectors, as well as enthusiasts, recognise the opportunities of investing in the possibilities which these vehicles offer. A well-maintained oldtimer can gain greatly in value over the years. At the same time, it offers the opportunity to invest in a gem of history in motion ... and highly moving history.
YIELD THROUGH PASSION
Classic Cars are cultural icons that reflect the spirit of an era. They stand for the values and ideals of their time, whether it be the newly won freedom and progress following World War II or the elegance and lust for luxury of the 1920s and 1930s.
These oldtimers are far more than mere driving vehicles, they are rolling works of art. And what’s more, they offer both emotionally and financially
a huge potential. Whereas the pure enjoyment in driving and simply just beholding such unique automobile icons is nearly priceless, the economic side is also quite palpable: the annual rise in value of oldtimers lies at 5.63 % on average, making this a more profitable investment and higher yield than many classic forms of investment over the last two decades.
Through an investment in classic driving vehicles you profit not only from an attractive rise in value, you also gain the feeling of experiencing history close-up. And you also have the pure pleasure of gazing at it and driving it, so to say, as the frosting on the cake.

AN AMERICAN DREAM
HOLZBAU MAIER GOES TO THE USA
In the land of endless opportunities, just about everything is possible, even a wood house in block-module form with an elaborate see-through lift, bearing the signature of the traditional Pinzgau company, Holzbau Maier.
TThe company Alpinist Ventures, with its headquarters in Aspen, Colorado, develops exclusive residential projects with genuine alpine flair dubbed “high alpine living” and does not shy away from costs, nor from extraordinary efforts or continental limitations in its drive to implement these dreams. Thus, for this spectacularly beautiful house in Aspen/Vail, Holzbau Maier was brought on board. The reputation of the family-run Salzburg company precedes them all the way to the USA. As early as the planning phase there was close collaboration between Holzbau Maier and American architects; and the concrete planners and builders found Holzbau Maier simply indispensable. After all, every detail has to sit perfectly and securely so that the wood construction which is manufactured in Austria fits like a glove onto the foundations and flooring which await it on-site.
PART(S) OF THE OVERALL WHOLE
For the Holzbau Maier team comprising no fewer than 140 competent experts, such an American project is truly a highlight. “It’s rather a superb feeling that your own craftsmanship can travel thousands of miles and become a living functional dream, a wood house built and used in the USA,” gushes Birgit Maier with pride. The final piece in the puzzle is that the installation team of Holzbau Maier personally flies to the U.S. to mount and adjust the custom-made wood elements on location. For the Aspen specimen they delivered wood ceilings, wood walls, the highly visible roof-truss rafters, panelling and ornamenting with the best woods available, the wood/aluminium windows, the external doors and the garage door. To sum it up: a lot of wood as well as highly precise handicrafts with warm regards from Austria.
IT’S RATHER A SUPERB FEELING THAT YOUR OWN CRAFTSMANSHIP CAN TRAVEL THOUSANDS OF MILES AND BECOME A LIVING FUNCTIONAL DREAM, A WOOD HOUSE BUILT AND USED IN THE USA.
CONCLUSION: GREAT JOB
“The logistics of pre-fabricated parts, container storage, shipping and installation were a master task in themselves. A huge debt of thanks goes to the company Concept 4012, which supervised both import and the overall construction finalisation on-site, and of course also the Vail company Arrigoni Woods which carried out the complete interior of this rather magnificent residence. Great job,” exclaims the company’s chief executive officer Birgit Maier. And when America calls again: Holzbau Maier will answer the call.

Shaping Spaces, Elevating Life
Everything has its place, and your lifestyle has the freedom to thrive, with design ideas from Famler.
There comes a time when trends are left behind, and timelessness takes center stage. Quality becomes the priority, and only one style matters: your own. When you‘re ready to design your life, we’ll be there to support you with bespoke room concepts, premium designer furniture, and the craftsmanship of our expert carpenters.
Building upon the great success of "Silver Nova” in 2023, the brand new “Silver Ray” – the second ship in the Nova class – sets out to sea as trailblazing flagship for the luxury journeys of tomorrow at sea. The Caribbean cruise is being launched in Fort Lauderdale. The second cruise starts and ends in Cape Town.
SEE THE WORLD IN A NEW LIGHT
TThe spacious asymmetrical design of the Nova class dazzles through its wide-open rooms and breathtaking views. Innovations and a grade of luxury which truly pampers users provide an unforgettable dimension of travel. State-of-the-art technology and a completely new approach to the theme of sustainability demonstrate at every turn the profound respect the shipbuilders have for the environment.
NEW DIMENSIONS OF LUXURY
The ships of the Nova class transcend all “normal” images of luxury journeys, i.e. those undertaken at the ultimate level, for all time – as well as your view and your experience of destinations you have always dreamed of. The wide-open ship design generates –through mind-boggling glass facades, transparent lifts, panorama lounges and far-reaching terrace zones –a seamless connection with the genuine beauties of every region you navigate towards. On each one of these ships, passengers can savour an incomparable culinary programme (S.A.L.T. – Sea And Land Taste) which actually brings the aromas of each respective target destination on board and lets guests luxuriate in truly personal service.
ALL-SUITE ACCOMMODATIONS INCLUDING BUTLER SERVICE
Passengers enjoy one of the very best square-metresper-guest ratios at sea, as well as the unbeatable comfort of well-equipped suites with sea views and nearly indescribable amenities. A butler takes care of everything imaginable with downright pleasure, from
unpacking your luggage to serving breakfast on your private veranda, doing the laundry and lots, lots more besides.
THE RIGHT SIZE FOR MAKING DISCOVERIES
The highly exclusive magnitude of all-suite ships –with a guest capacity of only 100 to 728 guests –makes it possible to float right into the heart of prominent cities and even access tiny points on the map which are not reachable by larger ships.
ADVENTURES ON LAND ALSO INCLUDED
Quite apart from all the uncountable amenities which you can enjoy on board, it is a point of pride of Silversea to let you experience your travel goals personally, up close, including daily excursions on land and at the ports of your classic journey. On expeditions, that includes all your ventures onto solid land.
BEING LOCAL, ALL AROUND THE WORLD
If you always wanted to experience travel destinations as a local would do, then a Silversea cruise is just the right thing. Because the travel routes provide the perfect mixture of hot spots and hidden jewels. Silversea is proud of its local, insider knowledge and the know-how of turning that knowledge into authentic, enriching journeys all over the world, including privileged access to both well-known and as-yet-unknown spots of glory and grandeur.
Thanks to highly select goals as land excursions, small-group trips under the careful supervision of experts, you feel like a local wherever you go.
ALL-INCLUSIVE IS THE STANDARD
All the journeys offer the renowned all-inclusive service for guests by Silversea throughout the wide world. Extending from restaurants with open fireplaces all the way to butler service in every category of suites – everything is inclusive. With Silversea, you can concentrate on what matters most: exploring the enchanting magic of your destinations with all your senses, savouring your time on board as well as on land.
THE FORT LAUDERDALE-TO-LIMA CRUISE …
... touches down at seven ports in seven different countries in the eastern Caribbean Sea. This journey offers the perfect experience of all the greatest highlights of Central America. After three days at sea, the first stop is in Aruba, where you have the opportunity during an extensive stopover to participate in a wide range of activities. Thereafter follow a stop at Curaçao and an overnight in Cartagena, Columbia. Back on board, recovery at its finest awaits you at sea, as well as the incomparable experience of a passage through the Panama Canal. Next stop: Manta, Ecuador, before you head south along the coastline of Peru. An overnight in Callao, Lima, rounds out and culminates this journey.

THE CAPE TOWN CRUISE
…
... touches down at seven different ports in two countries. An adventure non-plus-ultra in southern Africa which begins and ends in the lively streets of Cape Town at the foot of the magnificent, scenic Table Mountain. Glide up the glittering diamond coast to Namibia where in the picturesque Lagoon of Whales you can ogle at huge swarms of pink flamingos. The Sunshine Coast is a perfect antidote to wintertime depression. Encounter the Big Five, the five largest animals prowling across the vast stretches of the wild animal reserves.

SPECTACULAR VILLA ESTATE IN A PARK WITH SWEEPING VIEWS OF THE LAKE
Located on a beautiful, hard-to-compare site, a piece of majestic, gently undulating park ground rolling down to the edge of the lake, this spectacular villa, inspired by the Bauhaus era, lies just a few metres from the sun-bathed eastern shore of Lake Starnberg. It lies ensconced in a colony of villas which is already several decades old at the end of a residential dead-end lane without
any throughgoing traffic whatsoever and its own path rights to the lake. It thereby possesses a maximum degree of protection and privacy.
The property was completed in 1999. It shows the imprint of a straight-lined, doubtless modern architecture with fascinating optical axes, wide-ranging terraces and breathtaking glass fronts which ex-
tend over several floors. The eminently representative rooms are flooded with light and sunbeams, extending over three stories and comprising approximately 633m2. On the additional garden floor there is a spacious indoor pool (12.5 x 3.5 metres), a fitness zone with its own sauna and shower, a separate two-room apartment and utility rooms to support the household.
A barrier-free lift interconnects all four floors with each other. Besides a built-in bulthaup kitchen, there is also a fireplace, maplewood floors in the corridors, numerous custom-made built-in facilities, a BUSsystem, a central vacuum cleaner system and an alarm system with surveillance cameras. A double garage with high-voltage outlet and wallbox as well as several parking spaces outdoors round out this villa estate to perfection. Worthy of special mention is a rapturously idyllic piece of land in its immediate vicinity at lakeside with its own small bathing house, which is leased by the owner, a true rarity.
Thanks to the ideal connections to the city of Munich and its outstanding infrastructure, Berg is considered the most desirable residential complex on Lake Starnberg, with numerous restaurants and cafés, banks, a post office as well as all the shops necessary to fulfil your daily needs. There is even a kindergarten, a primary school, a Montessori school and a lycee (Kempfenhausen). In the immediately adjacent town of Starnberg there is a wide selection of excellent schools, including the renowned Munich International School (MIS), first-class doctors, top restaurants and very enticing shopping attractions.

GARGNANO/LAKE GARDA
ARCHITECTURAL JEWEL WITH INFINITY POOL AND PANORAMA VIEWS
In Gargnano, the high-living, noble community on the world-famous “lemon-tree Riviera”, this highclass domicile is located about 300 metres above the lake. Built in 2014 in the style of a modern rustic abode, the two-storied main house of traditional stone lies in a breathtaking location all by itself, an absolute rarity on Lake Garda. Titus Bernhard, a prizewinning architect, was respon-
sible for the design; his projects have created sensational splashes for years all over the world, they are featured repeatedly in international magazines.
The exterior is downright sublime: sun terraces, an imposing 22-metre-long infinity pool with biosystem and wide-ranging gardens full of free nature, all of which entices everyone to abide and relax.
On top of that: a superbly outfitted and airy outdoor gym and an outdoor shower zone with Fass sauna and unbelievable views over the lake and into the distance and the summit of Monte Baldo. This is “dolce vita” at its best.
The approximately 5000m2 large property lot is protected from the views of others on all sides, guaranteeing a maximum of privacy. The rooms extend over about 160m2. Both the architecture and the interior decoration are reduced to the most essential. A minimalistic language of forms interconnects every element and weaves them finely together to form a whole, using premium craftsmanship to refine the overall ensemble. Three outdoor parking spaces make this exceptional domicile perfection itself.
Over the last few decades Gargnano has succeeded in preserving its age-old charm – its typical groves of lemon trees, the picturesque village centre, the romantic little marina, a charming shoreline promenade, tiny narrow lanes and pastel-coloured houses. Free of hotels and mobs of visitors, the town cherishes its own elevated residents and clientele for their sophistication and exclusivity as well as a high-calibre international public. The infrastructure is ideal. Residents have easy and quick access to all the shops for their daily needs, to the traditional Feltrinelli boatbuilders, to the tennis courts, three little ports and a renowned golf club. Gargnano attained world renown through its Grand Hotel a Villa Feltrinelli, an historical palace which numbers among the internationally leading hotels today. There are also exquisite gourmet restaurants easily reachable on foot.

LIMITED MASTER PIECES
Galerie Grellhorst, a “different type” of art gallery, is treading an unusual and highly focused path in order to bring limited, exclusive black-and-white fine arts and wildlife photographic art works to the close attention of their clients.
LARS BEUSKER …
... captures rarities, unparalleled moments in black-and-white, portraits of wild animals more beautiful than one ever sees. In 2022 he was distinguished with the title Nature Photographer of the Year at the International Photography Awards in New York. In 2023 he was named Best Wildlife Photographer in the World for the second year in sequence. His works are incomparable, crowned by international prizes and strictly limited. Each and every photographic motif is available only ten times worldwide, without Artist Proofs or similar ways of extending the edition further. Each picture is numbered, personally signed and is handed to the purchaser with a certificate guaranteeing its genuine authenticity.
The photographs which Axel Grellhorst has in his programme are often sold-out worldwide and highly desirable works to own, to invest in, or both. Also, in the number of selected artists, Grellhorst limits himself strictly to those of the highest class. Of renowned photographic artists David Yarrow and Lars Beusker, at least ten worldwide limited works each are to be found as permanent portfolio specimens right here on the premises and can be admired in the exclusive ambience of the private showrooms in Kirchlengern, Germany and Kirchberg, Tirol. For Lars Beusker, Galerie Grellhorst owns the exclusive marketing rights for all of Austria.
In addition to that, steadily changing programmes of rare individual works are added. Currently that includes one of the rare “Likörelle” of German rocker Udo Lindenberg, as well as one of the worldwide sold-out statues of Marc Lagrange. It even includes a unique-coloured Mercedes SLS Limited Edition Roadster from a collector’s own garage.
YOUR PRIVATE SHOWROOM
DAVID YARROW …
... is one of the most successful photographers in the world. His penmanship alone is a striking feature of the worldwide art market, separating him from all others. His large-format monochromatic photographs are exhibited in leading museums of Europe and North America. Today Yarrow numbers among the most highly valued photographic artists of the world. Triggered by record-breaking results of his works at the large international auction houses, both art collectors and investors treasure him in equal measure. Galerie Grellhorst possesses a large private collection of his highly desired works, some of which are sold-out. These are for the most part highlights of his wildlife works, but also includes some works from his “Storytelling” series.
As far as providing new ways for clients to find their way to his portfolio is concerned, Grellhorst also treads completely different paths from “normal” galleries. “We bring the art works to the client, right into their home. We know that it’s something completely different to be able to see such works hanging on your own wall in intimate atmosphere, rather than in neutral commercial surroundings,” says Axel Grellhorst. Upon request, regular vernissages are organised at the client’s home, where fine art can be hung on the walls “on trial”: an exclusive and welcome homey event. A good glass of wine and direct feedback from family and friends is also included, alongside the profound knowledge and counsel of a professional who can look back on a long life in the art business. It goes without saying, the artworks can also be digitally mounted in highly professional photos of the customer's living spaces.
IN THE FUTURE ...
... Axel Grellhorst will continue to place his bets on his own highly focused art gallery concept. No more than one or two new artists will extend and enrich his portfolio another notch. Possibly the theme of “sculpture” will be granted a certain importance. In any case, it is a rewarding visit to check out the website.

MINDFUL IN MALLORCA
Imagine going on holiday in search of relaxation and experiences and finding something much more valuable instead – namely yourself. Es Racó d’Artà is such a special place that takes a step back and at the same time offers enough stimulation to create space for being human! The days in the Mallorquin hideaway flow mindfully and those who allow themselves to be unagitated will return home with gratitude and fulfilment. Read for yourself what a day at Es Racó d’Artà could look like.
SUNRISE
The sun rises over the hills of the wild north-east of Mallorca. The eternal greenery, the old farmhouse, the new outbuildings, the water surface of the pools: the resort is kissed awake by the rays. And us? We take a deep breath. With a first sun salutation during yoga and conscious breathing exercises with guided meditation, we start to become aware of our bodies. A Mediterranean breakfast gives us strength and we are ready to start a day in which we can grow.
NOON
And now? Let’s just get cycling! Through the area’s vineyards, we get closer to nature. Or experience it from the pool and watch the horizon. We connect with the water and discover the Mallorquin word "capfico", immersion, in all its splendour. We then lose ourselves a little in the spacious grounds and learn to appreciate the bees and their products before heading out for lunch with the flavoursome products from the garden.
AFTERNOON
Siesta. Simply doing nothing. Just processing and recharging batteries before experiencing the crafts and history of Mallorca and its inhabitants yourself. Basket weaving with palm leaves, meditative pottery or the sandals workshop. The rooms are now coloured in ochre, it becomes quieter, we pick up a book, smell, perceive and process the day with intuitive drawing.
NIGHT
Dinner at Es Racó d’Artà is a special moment of the day. We experience honest cuisine with seasonal ingredients and typical Mallorquin dishes and share the table with others. It’s getting dark, the stars are shining and with the dreamcatchers we have made, we can come to rest. Perhaps there will also be time for a sound bath before we bow down to this day and let the darkness envelop us.

A STATEMENT OF LUXURY AND THE ART OF LIVING
EXPERIENCE THE CHARM OF THIS VILLA IN BERLIN-DAHLEM, SURROUNDED BY THE PRESTIGIOUS THIEL PARK. THIS PROPERTY UNITES CLASSISTIC ELEGANCE AND MODERN DESIGN IN A MOST IMPRESSIVE WAY.
Inspired by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and Peter Behrens, this majestic villa offers ample space for the very highest of living comforts within an interior area of approximately 1658m2, even including an imposing lower level. The white-as-snow villa with four highly characteristic corner towers rests enthroned majestically and regally to viewers right from the very first sighting. It was comprehensively renovated in 2017, during the course of which it was equipped with state-of-the-art technology.
The innermost core is surely the wood-panelled atrium with seven-metre high ceilings accentuated by a glass roof which invites endless light to flood into the rooms. A black marble fireplace is an eyecatching highlight, while lattice windows extending down to the floor, cupboards of noble Macassar ebony and chandeliers of brass and bronze underscore the timeless elegance of the residence. Thanks to its open-room concept, works of art and designer furniture all find the space they require to unfold sumptuously. The wide-ranging
terrace, magnificent staircases and punctual elements of natural stone lend the estate a grandeur reminiscent of Mediterranean noblesse.
On the upper floor a salon awaits, along with private dressing rooms, office space and four bedrooms, each with en-suite marble bathrooms which are located inside the corner towers. The exclusive spa zone with its own infinity pool, sauna and hamam, alongside the gourmet kitchen with premium appliances round out the far-reaching luxurious ambience to perfection.

WORKING FOR THE BEST. CREATING THE BEST. ENABLING THE BEST.
Whoever enters the rooms of Martin et Karczinski in Munich usually stands in quiet meditation for a moment. The initial view into the room, strikingly structured with alternating fair-face concrete and glass surfaces all the way to the “brightest star” is mind-boggling, pure and simple. The illuminated logo on the fore wall of the interior designed consciously down to every last detail is a highly symbolic emblem. For nearly 25 years, the holistic brand adviser for strategy, design and transformation Martin et Karczinski, with business locations in Munich and Zurich, is widely known to have turned world renowned brands into the “brightest star in their segment.” Numerous distinctions, prizes and top spots in branch rankings bear ample witness to that fact.
Founder and CEO of Martin et Karczinski is the entrepreneur, designer, brand strategist, C-level coach, university instructor and author Peter Martin.

The close collaboration extending from the original generation of its iconic name to the positioning of it as a luxury brand has enabled impressive campaigns to be generated. In that vein, Hollywood star Mads Mikkelsen was for many years the brand communicator in ads and video clips, bringing the culture of lighting to new and ever higher levels. At the salone del Mobile Milano, the Villa Necchi, shooting location of the high fashion biopic “House of Gucci”, became the place for immersive branding experiences and exclusive events.
The historic brand Leica is being worked on currently by Martin et Karczinski with a target date of its anniversary year in 2025. That means 100 years which have made their imprint on photography and contemporary history in documentaries as well as our general perceptions of the world around us by Leica. This success story, which is winning accolades from ever higher numbers of Leica enthusiasts, is being perpetrated for the future.
CREATING CONSCIOUS GROWTH
Martin et Karczinski has adopted the plan of building a new level of consciousness in the economy. Thereby the company is positioning itself to accompany and help form “conscious growth” at its best. Out of this original inspiration, Peter Martin subsequently created the “be.yond academy” in order to transform the idea effectively and turn it to reality. The “be.yond method” for organisations and brands, as well as for personal individual development, was developed by Martin himself. It can be studied in two courses, each culminating in a certificate of accomplishment.
The “be.yond talks” by Martin et Karczinski are a highly desired platform for thought leadership and high calibre networking. At exclusive events in Munich, a very special kind of energy is born and emanated which in turn makes exemplary change in the exterior world possible. The line-up of speakers is itself imposing: Peter Martin has already been able to engage Dr. Peter H. Goetz (Gaggenau), Torsten Müller-Ötvös (formerly of Rolls Royce Motor Cars), Sophia Rödiger (1KOMMA5°), Benno Zerlin (Occhio), Olivier Krüger (Lufthansa Group), Eduard R. Dörrenberg (Dr. Wolff Group) and Boris Dolkhani (Robert Bosch GmbH) among others for the speaker’s podium.

PERFECT COFFEE ENJOYMENT
The LIGRE youn allows for the preparation and enjoyment of excellent cappuccino and espresso, with the highest Italian taste quality. It offers two operating modes to cater to individual preferences: the easy mode makes it simple to prepare outstanding espresso and milk foam using pre-
defined settings. Users can also choose from three different brewing sensory profiles to best match their personal taste. For dedicated home baristas, the LIGRE youn offers nerd mode with advanced settings, allowing precise control over brewing parameters such as water temperature, pre-infusion time, and extraction pressure via the touchscreen, ensuring the perfect espresso tailored to individual preferences.
The professional world is also impressed: following an extensive review, Europe’s leading coffee magazine, crema magazin, concluded: There is currently no other machine on the market that comes close to LIGRE in terms of design and quality.“ The world of LIGRE consists of the LIGRE youn espresso machine, the perfectly matched LIGRE siji coffee grinder, along with thoughtfully designed accessories and expertly curated coffee blends.

SNOW
AN EXPERIENCE FOR ALL FIVE SENSES
Nature has always been treasured as the source of all well-being, yet it is ordinarily understood in terms of external areas. TechnoAlpin Indoor pursues its own vision of modern spa design by means of a different approach. Nature, or to be more precise, snow, is brought into interior rooms and spaces. It is not intended as a merely decorative element – the snow unfolds a refreshing bevy of effects leading to deep well-being which then lifts the spa-experience to a new level.
IIn a world where the pursuit of holistic well-being is becoming increasingly important, the integration of snow into wellness areas opens up new dimensions of relaxation and regeneration. Through the harmonious connection of hot and cold in contrast therapy, as well as the sensory experience of water in all its forms, modern spas are transformed into oases of balance and renewal.
WELL-BEING GENERATED BY NATURE: AN IMMERSIVE SENSORY JOURNEY
Nature possesses the ability to evoke profound wellbeing that reaches far beyond mere visual appeal. Incorporating snow as a central feature within wellness areas creates a sensory-rich experience that engages all the senses. Water in all its many forms – whether liquid, steam or frozen – plays a central role. This approach transforms well-being areas into
venues of balance and renewal, it provides a truly unforgettable experience which permits a guest to immerse him/herself into a brand new dimension of well-being.
A harmonious interchange between hot and cold places a striking imprimatur on the design of this modern spa. In order to truly exhaust the positive effects of a visit to the sauna, an element of cold is indispensable, for it reactivates the body poised for the next phase of relaxation. This philosophy is mirrored also in the architectural and interior elements, where they play an equally central role.
SNOW AS A CORE ELEMENT IN WELLNESS SPACES
Snow offers multi-faceted possibilities of being injected into our experience which, in turn, enrich each and every phase of a visit to the spa.
Regardless whether as a gentle snowfall above the swimming pool, or a very particular type of experience-shower, or as an element in a catchment basin, a kind of collecting pond, from which guests can scoop out snow – each and every variation provides a unique sensory experience. Also as a purely visual highlight, resembling a sparkling fire, snow generates a highly tranquil atmosphere. These variegated applications transform it to a key factor which revolutionises spa design and provides guests with brand new experiences at every station of their wellness journey.
A REVOLUTION IN SPA DESIGN
The integration of snow into interior rooms is a veritable parting of the ways. This concept not only raises overall well-being of guests in general, it also generates a truly unique, multi-sensory path. Through the conscious linking of nature in all its highly varied forms, a virtually perfect wellness experience is guaranteed.
Each visit to a spa which utilises snow as an integrated component becomes an extraordinary trip through the beauty and power of nature itself. This epochal, trendsetting design is setting new milestones in the hospitality sector, inviting guests to become newly enchanted by a forgotten connection between nature and design.
THE SPOT OF INSPIRATION
The showroom of TechnoAlpin Indoor raises the curtain to a world of possibilities, it provides a glimpse into the future of snow-experiences in the wellness sector. A primordial and, at the same time, innovative element is made feelable, palpable in all its splendour. It beckons to all those who seek new ideas to incorporate into their wellness projects. As a source of inspiration for architects, wellness experts and planners, it is hereby demonstrated just how snow can be integrated into wellbeing areas, spas, hotels, in order to achieve a brand new dimension of well-being. Visitors have the opportunity to see and feel snow up close – they will be dazzled and convinced by its vitalising influence.
THIS CONCEPT NOT ONLY RAISES OVERALL WELL-BEING OF GUESTS IN GENERAL, IT ALSO GENERATES A TRULY UNIQUE, MULTI-SENSORY PATH.

STUFF OF FAIRY TALES
Discerning travellers seeking romantic, yet outstanding experiences will discover an enchanted world in the Dolomites amidst 17 hectares of private woods and meadows. At an altitude of 1,200 metres, the White Deer San Lorenzo Mountain Lodge, a former noble hunting chalet built by the Bishop of Bressanone, dating back to the 15th century, welcomes sophisticated, demanding guests looking for exclusiveness.
Giorgia and Stefano Barbini have breathed new life into the stately listed building. When buying the run-down chalet, they wanted to create a luxury retreat while conserving the pre-existing structure. Driven by passion, the two visionaries discovered their mission in life: to offer discerning guests the opportunity to come into contact with pure nature, bringing them closer to authentic beauty through memorable experiences, fine cuisine, culture and the extraordinary exclusiveness of this place. With the White Deer, the two aesthetes have created a veritable masterpiece.
HEART-WARMING PRIVATE SPHERE
Since the lodge opened, Giorgia and Stefano look after their guests personally, whether for a hit-andrun vacation or a longer break. They offer them an elegant luxury holiday retreat with a great deal of charm that accommodates up to ten people and
can be rented only exclusively. In addition to four individually designed bedrooms, the lodge has a wonderfully appointed little spa, a stylish lounge with fireplace, a cosy Stube parlor with adjoining tea room, an outdoor lounge with whirlpool and spectacular views, a fine wine cellar with more than 1,500 bottles of local wines, a private helipad as well as a revolutionary private golf course, named “A Hole in Heaven”.
CHARMING, PASSIONATE HOSTS
Georgia’s extraordinary cuisine, Stefano’s stories and unique excursions, the lodge’s setting nestled amongst verdant woods, 360° service and total privacy: It was the synthesis of these elements that gave rise to an extraordinary success story. And as the lodge itself was born, so were two outstanding hosts. Leaving their former lives was like being reborn. For Giorgia and Stefano Barbini, luxury

AT A CERTAIN POINT, THEY DECIDED TO CHANGE EVERYTHING.
never has been measured in quantity, it is synonymous with authenticity, passion, and commitment.
In their previous life, the Barbinis were well-known in the Italian fashion industry, in the haute couture to be precise. In addition of being the granddaughter of the founder of the internationally celebrated menswear fashion Empire Brioni, Giorgia was the owner of the Escada flagship store in Rome and the managing retail director of Escada Italia. Stefano was Escada’s CEO in Italy and France as well as the executive head of marketing for international brands such as Alberta Ferretti, Moschino, Jean Paul Gaultier and Ozbek.
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
At a certain point, they decided to change everything. It took courage to leave a world that was incompatible with family life. During a trip to South Tyrol, they happened to come across a historic sixteenth-century residence in Val Pusteria. It was love at first sight. Not a trace of doubt. The two decided to turn their backs to their former life and moved to San Lorenzo di Sebato where they dedicated all their passion to their new hospitality project. A personal dream came true.

CRADLE OF WINTER TOURISM
Once upon a time it was a tiny village somewhere in the mountains of Grisons. Today St. Moritz is the most illustrious winter sports destination in the Alps. And that’s not all: winter tourism was born in St. Moritz in 1864. Hotel owner Johannes Badrutt purportedly placed a bet with his English summer guests that they could enjoy his terrace in shirtsleeves even in winter. His stake: he agreed to assume all the costs of the trip.
TThe outcome? The gambling English came to Upper Engadine at Christmas time and, because Johannes Badrutt hadn’t promised them too much, returned to their rain-ridden homeland at Easter time bronze-tanned to the toe tips. The world-famous champagne climate had bestowed sunny and dry days, and to top it off, fluffy powder snowfall. Since then, winter sports have never been the same. Writ large at the foot of the slopes of the 3022-metre-high Piz Nair in St. Moritz was the very first bobsled race in the world, alongside the first ski lift and also the first ski school in Switzerland. Whoever learns to ski on the Corviglia these days, cuts his/her tracks through the most prestigious runs of history. St. Moritz was twice host to Olympic winter games. For experienced skiers, an absolute must is the Hahnensee run in the Corvatsch-Furtschellas ski area. It is considered one of the most beautiful downhill runs in the Engadine.
THE CALENDAR-OF-EVENTS IS BURSTING FULL
The sportive calendar-of-events boasts a plethora of highlights this winter: the Audi FIS Alpine Women’s Ski World Cup will take place on 21st and 22nd December 2024 in St. Moritz. The illustrious Winter Polo Tournament will take place from 24th until 26th January 2025 on the frozen-solid Lake St. Moritz. This event will be carried out for the fortieth time, it is considered to be the highest-endowed, i.e. lucrative
and prizewinning tournament on snow worldwide. No less spectacular than the February events on frozen Lake St. Moritz – the traditional White-Turf horse races – are the White-Turf Family Days on each Saturday preceding the racing days, which are awaited with breathless drama and excitement. Horsepower also counts at THE I.C.E., the International Concours d’Elégance, at which car collectors and lovers of classic automobile history breathe a whiff of elegance and ecstasy. However, even without special grand events atop the surface of frozen Upper Engadine lakes, excursions are highly worthwhile: sporting activities on cross-country trails or winter hiking along freshly prepared walking paths are worth their weight in gold.
CULINARY PLEASURES AT THEIR PINNACLE
After all that sports activity and motion out in the fresh wintertime air, one needs a little reinforcement or a cultivated evening dinner, wouldn’t you say? On the Corviglia, the White Marmot numbers among the most sought-after addresses. At the Celeste Mountain Bistrot in the Salastrain district above St. Moritz, a young team revolving around executive chef Samuel Carugati pampers its guests to the hilt. And with the Suvretta chairlift and just a 10-minute stroll, you arrive at the Club-Restaurant Paradiso.
Directly in the village, Ecco St. Moritz in Hotel Giardino Mountain and Da Vittorio at the Carlton Hotel are highly prized as top addresses. Both, incidentally, are the recipients of two Michelin stars, and can be enjoyed only in wintertime. In summertime Rolf Fliegauf and his team cook at “Ecco“ in Ascona on Lago Maggiore. Chef de cuisine Paolo Rota from Da Vittorio has his main temple in Brusaporto in Lombardy. Emblazoned with one Michelin star each are the venerable Restaurant Krone, the Cà d’Oro located in the highly impressive “Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski” as well as the Talvo by Dalsass, on whose menu pages approximately 800 different wines can be ordered/savoured. For those who treasure Asian cuisine, Hato is the destination of choice. Highly recommended is also the Japanese restaurant Kura in Hotel Laudinella. Incidentally, gourmets are in the limelight at the end of January in St. Moritz, when the Gourmet Festival takes flight with breathtaking culinary joys.
EXTRAORDINARY HOTELS
ST. MORITZ IS TRULY A WINTER DREAM COME TRUE.
Giovanni Segantini who spent his last years in St. Moritz, rendered the picturesque landscapes in its inimitable style. The Segantini Museum at the entrance to the village is a vibrant remembrance to him. The traditional hotels of town are in the habit of fulfilling every single wish of their guests. Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski is a 5-star luxury hotel with rich and long traditions and spacious, luxurious rooms and suites. Carlton Hotel, which hails back to the golden era of 1913 is the smallest and most individualistic hotel in town, for example offering a butler service for the utmost comfort. A veritable emblem of St. Moritz is Badrutt's Palace. The opulent 5-star hotel from the year 1896 in the heartbeat centre of St. Moritz is member of the Leading Hotels of the World. And then, of course, there is the fabulous Kulm Hotel St. Moritz through which Johannes Badrutt convinced his guests with his famous bet in the year 1856 and which has seduced all its guests ever since then through its ever-so-special style and lived authenticity.
The exclusive selection of hotels is unbeatable. A recommendation from among the newer hotels is surely the 5-star-S hotel Grace La Margna, which succeeds in merging and uniting luxury, elegance and artistic flair. St. Moritz is no longer conceivable without art: Italian landscape painter
St. Moritz is truly a winter dream come true. Last but not least, the wintery landscape and its climatic benefits and advantages make guests want to stay all winter long, just like those very first winter guests of Johannes Badrutt.
ICE ICE BABY!
The I.C.E. St. Moritz – The International Concours of Elegance – is one of the great winter highlights which send connaisseurs and automobile enthusiasts into a fever pitch of excitement. And the event on the 21 st and 22 nd of February 2025 will once again take place on the frozen over Lake St. Moritz in front of the imposing scenery of the Alps of Engadine.
TThe history of The I.C.E. St. Moritz first saw the light of day as Concours d’Elégance, but over the years developed into far more than a simple automobile rallye. It is a new, glamourous and contemporary happening which quite justifiably numbers among the most riveting cultural and lifestyle events on the world’s stage. Thus, it is no coincidence that The I.C.E. village on the lake becomes the meeting place of both the iconic fashion and designer branches and brands, as well as for the automobile industry with its own inimitable heritage. This is the fulcrum upon which all else turns in the realms of automotive quality, technology, craftsmanship, culinary arts, tradition and culture, in short, attestations of a love of beauty which are celebrated to the hilt. Also, brand new styles and trends are given due presentation in the form of a stupendous entrance.
ICE STYLE
The partners of Edition 2025 – all in all, illustrious brands and legendary icons of style – are without exception inspired by the self-same passions and share the identical fundamental values as The I.C.E. St. Moritz. Each of them will make its own contribution to a glamourous, elegant and veritably spectacular event. Numbering among them are once again, Richard Mille (title sponsor for the third year in sequence) and two major partners, Badrutt's Palace Hotel and the City of St. Moritz.
As far as the programme itself is concerned: The I.C.E. was always and forever known for certain rather special attractions, and this edition promises to be bursting full of surprises and disappoint no one. The automobile lineup is still a deeply kept
secret, but as to the categories on offer, a little bit can already be aired: Barchettas on the lake, open wheels, concept cars & one offs, icons on wheels, and – this time for the second year in a row – racing legends. Registration of drivers has been officially open since October.
THE I.C.E. ST. MORITZ –THE INTERNATIONAL CONCOURS OF ELEGANCE
The permanent star in the sky of the event calendar of St. Moritz was called to life by Marco Makaus in the year 2019 and now numbers among the Diamond Events of the Engadine St. Moritz Tourism AG. Ever since its premiere appearance, The I.C.E. St. Moritz has generated a format which has never been seen before in the world of Concours d’Elégance, namely, a mixture of culture, sports and dynamics in one and a single spot. The event is inseparable from the lake, which it is handled and treated with deep respect for the ecological and natural heritage of the Engadine. The vehicles which participate are selected with supreme care and access of the public is limited in order to protect the immeasurable treasure of the lake.
ABOUT THE TITLE SPONSOR RICHARD MILLE
Richard Mille was founded in 2001, and established quickly as one of the outstanding figures in the luxury watch industry in which one single and incomparable, easily recognisable architectural aesthetic connected to innovation beyond any and all competition in both technical ways and in the manner of development and utilisation of materials. Today the Richard Mille watch collection includes more than a hundred models, all designed and manufactured with the selfsame passion and identifying principles, without any compromise, which Richard Mille achieved in his very first creation, the RM 001.
THE EVENT IS INSEPARABLE FROM THE LAKE, WHICH IS HANDLED AND TREATED WITH DEEP RESPECT FOR THE ECOLOGICAL AND NATURAL HERITAGE OF THE ENGADINE.

MOUNTAIN DELIGHTS
The most desirable enjoyment locations in the Alps
The all-encompassing concept comprising sophisticated design, exquisite cuisine, really cool sounds, a noble selection of beverages and above-average friendly service can catapult certain addresses into Enjoyment Heaven. If then, these self-same addresses are also located in renowned skiing destinations such as Kitzbühel, St. Moritz or Alta Badia, a certain number of superlatives tend to come together. They offer under all circumstances a host of reasons to be visited, for they dazzle all comers with stylish exclusivity.

1 PIZ BOÉ ALPINE LOUNGE
CORVARA IN ALTA BADIA
Immediately adjacent to Boé cablecar exit there is a stylishly furnished mountain refuge perched at 2200 metres altitude. People who know how to enjoy life find there a refined selection of dishes in three different restaurants. At the Kelina Fine Dine, ambitious creations with Mediterranean and regional/local influences are served, wreathed by panorama views of the Dolomites, and accompanied by superb wines. Fresh and traditional meals are served at the Show Cooking Area Plan de Sasc. While guests at Amiré Bistrot & Lounge seek and find relaxation at the fireplace exuding from delicious dishes from the Bistrot Lunch menu, it goes without saying.
2 HOSPIZ ALM AND WINE DOME
ST. CHRISTOPH AM ARLBERG
3 HENDL FISCHEREI
LEOGANG
Whenever Renate und Huwi Oberlader develop a new concept, anticipation rises swiftly in the vicinity. The successful hotel owners have already set several innovative standards which in the interim have attained cult status. And thus, within the shortest imaginable time, their Mountain Club has found its footing in honour to its name: hendl fischerei. The basic concept is startingly simple: grilled chicken à la Huwi and fish specialties, accompanied by DJ sounds from Ibiza, cool drinks and panoramic views. But, as always, the real difference lies in the details: sublime service and private sphere are top priority, so that guests can enjoy the evening in the exclusive Bogner or Rich Box, in the Alpine Orangerie, on the Rooftop or in the Grüll Kanzel. The location leaves nothing to be desired, right at the mountain station of the Steinbergbahn and Asitzbahn in Leogang.
A long history trails from the hem of the Hospiz in St. Christoph. The Hospiz Alm has played host to guests since the year 1988 with high portions of bon vivre, special vibes and sublime wines. Already at the grand opening, the Werner family succeeded in erecting a bridge between a rustic ski hut and the classic fine-wine-and-dine concept. Since 2022, Viennese entrepreneur Erwin Soravia has, together with his own team and the Werner family, been running the Alm, the hotel and the residences and leading them into a new era. The Hospiz Alm received a facelift and an additional wine cellar with an exclusive private dining table for 12 persons, the new “Wine Dome”. Three toques speak well for the grandiloquent, fine sensibilities of chef de cuisine David Kurz.
4 PARADISO –THE MOUNTAIN CLUB
ST. MORITZ
The Paradiso is a spot where you find, click and make new contacts, let them grow and fructify, and enjoy life at the same time. A place-to-be for all those who treasure extraordinary meals and drinks and the laid-back joys of a dancing crowd beneath a sunny sky. From scrumptious fondue with black truffles all the way to its signature variation of Surf-and-Turf, that is how far the repertoire extends. More than 500 wines and the largest and most exclusive selection of champagnes imaginable make your time there sweeter and more savoury amidst the mountain peaks of St. Moritz. This paradise is accessible only for members and those who have a daytime-pass.
TAKE JOY IN THE LITTLE THINGS OF LIFE. SOMEDAY YOU WILL LOOK BACK AND REALISE THEY WERE HUGE.
5 CHEZ VRONY
ZERMATT
Basking in heartwarming welcomes and friendliness alongside a breathtaking view of the Matterhorn, gourmets spend their time at Restaurant Chez Vrony in fulltime enjoyment at 2100 metres altitude. The highly esteemed restaurant sets store in its own century-old history and family tradition. Guests savour the high-quality dishes put together from the restaurant’s own organic products, including lifestock grazing on the wide ranges of high alpine grass, and that’s all. In the kitchen, traditional dishes typical of the local countryside yet peppered by international influences are created. Vrony and her team are your hosts with body and soul, full of enthusiasm and passion for their metier. It is something you feel at once.
6 KRISTALLHÜTTE
SKI AREA HOCHZILLERTAL
In the heart of the Zillertal at 2147 metres altitude, free-and-easy hospitality unites with unlimited openness in a highly inviting ambience. Surrounded by 360° panoramic views, DJ sounds-and-arts are accompanied by culinary delights and highlights produced in the wide-open demonstration kitchen. Hidden niches and quiet corners are aplenty here: on the terrace, in the mountain restaurant, in the conservatory deluxe or in the Kristall Lounge. Whoever simply cannot let go of that extra-special mountain feeling can spend the night in the Kristall Hut and experience unsurpassed moments at sundown in the Panorama Wellness Spa. The evening attains its deserved crown through the Gourmet Menu accompanied by noble vintages from the wine cellar.
UP HERE YOU STAND ABOVE IT ALL – WITH PANORAMIC VIEWS AND OUTSTANDING FOOD.
7 RESTAURANT HOCHKITZBÜHEL BEI
TOMSCHY KITZBÜHEL
The first stop on the mountain, in the truest sense of the word, both culinarily and geographically. When in the 1930s the Hahnenkammbahn was first built, Alfons Walde gave today’s unmistakable architecture to the mountain station, in other words, to this building in Hochkitzbühel. Since summer 2015, the renowned host family Tomschy has been running the legendary restaurant, and deftly drawing an international public to sumptuous enjoyments on the mountainside. The ardently pursued parties reach their culmination every Friday evening when the Hahnenkammbahn stays open until 11.00 pm to bring its guests back down to the valley.
