Mitterkaser Alpine Hut

The Mitterkaser Alm, as the name suggests, is situated right in the heart of the ancient Val di Fosse, and can be easily reached in one hour via a gentle footpath. Here the Rainer family, also called the "Infanglers" from the name of their farm located at the beginning of the Val di Fosse, have created an authentic mountain refuge: a sort of time capsule far removed from the hustle and bustle of modern life, where time will be dictated by the rising and setting of the sun.

We cook on an antique wood-burning stove, with a gas cooker and dishwasher close by, our only concession to the modern era. Considering that we are at almost 2,000 m above sea level, it is obvious that cooking is a slow process, and there is no such thing as fast food; what really matters is flavour. In this kitchen workshop we prepare delicious dishes, led by Jörg Trafoier, a passionate chef who has won several awards at his restaurant, the Kupperein, for his interpretations of local delicacies. Our team has developed a range of simple but exquisite dishes.

Focusing on the fundamental elements of local culinary traditions and using the finest ingredients is a top priority for the Rainer Family. What can be better than using the ingredients from your very own farm? Here mountain cheese is still home-produced, fresh bread is baked in our stone oven, and herbs are hand-picked on demand directly from the vegetable garden. All our guests have to do is sit back and enjoy themselves!
