Regional

The multiple award-winning cuisine in the Alpin impresses not only with the culinary skills of Alexander and Armin Gründler, but also with the high quality of the products and their regionality. Pork from the Alpine meadows, merino sheep, suckling calf, etc. come from well-managed farms in Achental Valley, Zillertal Valley and the surrounding regions and form the cornerstones of the Karwendel cuisine in the Alpin! The local mountain and garden herbs also play a crucial role. And when enjoying the slowly reared trout and char from the “Ducal Kreuth fish farm” you can simply taste their origin!

Sustainable

Sustainability and environmental awareness play a crucial role in the Alpin. We place great value on the resource-conserving use of the produce, but the gourmet hotel has also been advocating energy conservation for many years. Thus, we have been connected to the bioenergy district heating since 2012, which saves us 30,000 litre of heating oil annually. Furthermore, heating for our hot water has been generated by our own solar system since 2007.

Home-made

What would an extensive breakfast be without delicious jams or your favourite dish without the matching spices? And if when enjoying these your thoughts are brought back to your dream holidays by Lake Achensee, then the enjoyment is twice as nice. Have you tasted our black elderberry jelly, our apricot jam or the chilli-vanilla salt yet? Our home-made gourmet treats are also available for sale on site – for even more delights and a bit of Alpin back home!

AWARDS

The testers of the Gault&Millau 2025 guide apparently delighted and delighted Alexander and Armin and Gründler (original quote) when comments like this were made about 17.5 points or 4 toques for our Gourmet Parlour: “The best of the Karwendel cuisine... and something with it comes out is really great cinema. ...select ingredients from the region, which Alexander and Armin Gründler bring to the plate as real works of art in terms of taste and appearance.”

But the Gourmet Inn also has its down-to-earth Karwendel dishes at the highest level of craftsmanship
got 2 toques.

The Kulinarik Hotel Alpin with its two restaurants has been a member of JRE Austria since 2013, belongs to the ranks of Genießerhotels Österreich and has been on the list of the 100 Best Chefs Austria since 2020.

JRE CHEFS ROULETTE

Review of our event on October 4th, 2023

More than 45 JRE top chefs from Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Slovenia and Croatia swapped their cookers at the JRE-CHEF'S ROULETTE 2023. This time as a guest chef, Josef Floh from the Floh restaurant in Langenlebarn, a very creative and imaginative chef who has been awarded three toques, surprised our guests. Regionality and sustainability play a major role not only in Alpin but also at Josef Floh. He also always puts rare vegetables and grains on his plate, which you could also see in the dishes: carrot & queenoa, a sensational butterfish, mushroom & wagyu, celeriac and sweet spinach to finish. The dishes were accompanied by a well-balanced wine pairing, put together by qualified wine sommèlier Caroline Gründler. Armin Gründler, himself a four-toque chef and chef de cuisine at Alpin, was visibly satisfied with Josef Floh.
