Ski & Dine with Vitus Winkler

The chef of the year 2026, Vitus Winkler, who has been awarded two Michelin stars, four toques from Gault Millau, and four stars from A la Carte, will open the Gourmet Ski Days together with the team from AreitLounge/Areitalm on March 5, 2026. For this special evening, he will be joined by the renowned wineries Gesellmann and Hirtzberger, which will provide a carefully selected wine pairing to ensure perfect harmony between the kitchen and cellar. For the exclusive "Ski & Dine" event, Vitus Winkler has created an extraordinary menu that follows the contours of the Schmittenhöhe: The culinary journey begins at Lake Zell and leads step by step up to the summit. The AreitAlm, with its impressive view of the surrounding mountain landscape, provides the ideal stage for this unique dinner experience – an evening that uniquely combines alpine scenery, top-notch culinary art, and exquisite wines.
