Skiing makes you hungry - which is why this blog post is all about the traditional hut classics that everyone absolutely has to try at least once.

Let's start with THE classic par excellence! Kaiserschmarr'n (shredded Austrian pancake) is a must on every menu in a ski hut in Ski amadé. It is first prepared as a whole pastry and only then torn into pieces. A must for anyone with a sweet tooth! Whether with stewed plums or apple sauce - indulgence is guaranteed.

It's no coincidence that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and here's the recipe so you don't have to wait until your next skiing holiday. And if the recipe alone isn't enough, you can also read a few funny stories about the origins of Kaiserschmarrn.

Goulash soup

Traditional goulash soup is perfect for anyone who wants to warm up while skiing. Prepared with local beef and served with bread, it is not only a delight but also a real energiser.

Goulash soup is also a real treat at home and the only dish that gets better and better every time it is reheated. As they say here, ‘Only goulash tastes good when reheated!’. So here's a recipe for this culinary speciality: Goulash soup recipe
