In Flachau they both enjoyed a fabulous day skiing on perfectly prepared slopes. For their ensuing pit stop, they chose the stylish Herzerlalm, located at the valley station of the Achterjet: Britta Goldner’s restaurant not only impresses with a contemporary atmosphere but also with delicious home-made dishes. Chef Stephan Wieland favors local ingredients – his „Flachauer Semmelkrensuppe“ and a heavenly Kaiserschmarrn were the culmination of a perfect day on the slopes.
