Smoked pork bacon from the farmer next door, mature cheese from the Stutzalpe Alpine dairy or mountain blossom honey straight from Kleinwalsertal? That's regionality - here you know where it comes from! On top of that, the farm stores scattered throughout the valley offer fresh and local products for sale - even with 24-hour service! A slice of Walser enjoyment is quickly served on your table at home. Enjoy your meal!
A FOR “ABLER SPECIALTY SALE” AT THE STALL IN MITTELBERG
There is a barn in Mittelberg - it looks a little crooked at first glance. But cheese, honey, bacon and syrup stand upright next to the house specialties and cut a really good figure. Perhaps not in the truest sense of the word, but that taste ...
And what is the Heubergfeuer anyway? - It's not an incense stick made of hay and it's reminiscent of sweet and tart berries ... Have you tried it yet?
B for "BERCHTOLD'S BURA LÄDELE" IN RIEZLERN
Juniper ham, mountain salami, peppercorns, pumpkin cheese and a delicious liqueur - the list for those staying at home can be quite long. Fortunately, Berchtold's Bura Lädele has what you're looking for as a souvenir! In the somewhat hidden bacon and cheese cellar, however, you will find something else, namely a very special Käsknöpfle mix - so that the vacation feeling can linger, it's best to take it home for yourself.
More informationC for "CAFÉ BAAD-GRUND"
In the mountain village of Baad, the delicacies of the Walser Buura are of course a must. At the entrance to the café, the sausage and cheese specialties lure guests into the house and once they are inside, the Schuster family enchants their guests with Swedish almond cake, Sacher cake, apple strudel, Rumnusskranz ... But the cake is only served after the “Walser Buurabrotziit”!
Tip: Learn a bit of Walser dialect, they like to speak it here.
More informationF FOR "BIOHOF FEURSTEIN" IN MITTELBERG-HÖFLE
Which will it be - Alpine ham or organic mountain cheese? Produced according to the cycle of nature, you can taste the summer on the alp. The Feuerstein organic farm produces its own specialties from the region and sells them in the adjoining farm store. If you would like to get a taste of farm life, you can take a look behind the scenes on a guided tour of the farm.
Tip: In summer, the alpine products find their way to the Naturalpe Gemstel-Schönesboden.
More informationH for "HOFLAADA" IN MITTELBERG
It has 200 years under its belt - but its products have kept it pretty fresh ... the Hoflaada in Mittelberg bakes its own bread and the milk comes straight from the cow to the table. Try the Zwergle cheese ... but it's not as sweet as it's called - it's all cheese! Landjäger, sweets and spirits ... the list is long.
Tip: Appetite for treats after 10 p.m.? - A small 24-hour service at the entrance makes it possible!
More informationH for "honey"
And a sandwich with honey in the morning ... that's how my grandma used to eat it. It was called the “food of the gods” in ancient Egypt. Mountain blossom honey, creamy or clear, is hidden behind many corners - it's worth keeping your eyes open! There is a honey counter in the Zwerwald & you can also ring Kurt Müller's doorbell to take the delicious honey home with you. Bees feel right at home at 1,100 meters above sea level.
More informationK for "KÄSESTADL" IN HIRSCHEGG
Did you know that people used to barter for cheese? Today, we prefer to taste the hay milk cheese from the Käsestadl ourselves. Ideal souvenirs such as Kaminwurzen, honey, oil, teas, liqueurs & many other delicacies can be found behind the barn door - true to the motto “BIO? LOGICAL!” Incidentally, Joachim Paul can tell you exactly what life on the alp is like, because at the age of eight he already had his goats under control as a small shepherd.
More informationM for "MITTELALP"
Milk becomes cheese, cheese becomes cheese soup - stop! This is exactly what you have to try when you browse through the menu at your Bsuach uf dr Mittelalp. After all, it comes from the cow in the meadow next door! A cheese like this has to mature for at least three months, with regular care and rearrangements, before it is served on the Mittelalp table. Quite a bit of craftsmanship, isn't it?
More informationR FOR "RÄUCHERKAMMER"
This is literally about the sausage! About raw sausage, to be precise. It can happen that chocolate and chilli spoil your palate at the same time or that so-called “Räßkäs” cheese joins forces with basil sausages. In the smokehouse you will also find regional specialties, especially from the Walsa Buura (Walser farmers), everything your heart desires. Stop by!
Tip: Hungry at lunchtime? Then try the Buura burger!
more informationS for "S'HIRSCHECK"
At Walser Lunch-Time you can sunbathe on the terrace and enjoy the creamy cheesecake - or did you have the spicy tarte flambée with bacon? Sausage and game meat from the region or our own production, cheese, whey products, fine vinegars & oils, spices, chocolates, jams, honey, nuts, tea, schnapps ... s'Hirscheck in the heart of Hirschegg has a lot to offer - try it for yourself!
Tip: Take an ice cream with you on the way to your next hiking destination!
more informationX for "XOND" IN RIEZLERN
Do you know Everest and Eumel? ... Well, they're goats and at the same time two of the hardest-working employees at Fritz Organic & Gourmet Farm. The farm has its own cheese dairy and the farm store Xond has a live broadcast of the cheese ripening! The beef ham is something to be proud of, because the cow also looked very smart and the chicken only lays eggs when it wants to and not because it has to. You'll notice it in the taste - I promise!
Tip: On Tuesdays, you can take an e-bike to the organic farm.
