Editorial / Contents Interalpen-Magazin

Dear guests

It is a great pleasure to be able to write to you as new Director of the hotel.

I have had a special fascination for the Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol, since my first visit many years ago. Our ex-traordinary and exclusive location in the Tirolean Alps, the extensive Spa and wellbeing facilities, the superb, award-winning cuisine and the fantastic team have truly inspired me. We will work together to preserve all that is outstanding about the hotel, but remain open to innova-tion, to continuously improve our services and offer you the most memorable holiday possible.

In this edition of the Interalpen Magazine we present some new and exclusive spaces where you can relax and be comfortable: the ground floor of the Karwendel wing is about to be extensively renovated and will be home to Salon Bellevue, Café Wien and our Smoking Lounge.

Renovations will take place during the winter closed period and the new rooms will be ready for the most special time of year: Christmas and New Year at the Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol.

I am really looking forward to the first snow of the sea-son in the Tirolean Alps and hope to be able to welcome you personally before too long.

With best wishesKarl Brüggemann

Ambience Interalpen-Magazin

One renovation project, three distinct stylesEvery detail has been carefully consid-

ered to provide a very authentic expe-

rience. From flooring to furniture and

decorations to the lighting concept,

each new public space has its own dis-

tinct style. Only the original wood pan-

elling and hand painted ceilings have

been preserved.

Café Wien* in the style of a traditional

Viennese coffee house

* waiters with authentic black

waistcoat, bow tie and white apron

* Viennese coffee specialities

including Einspänner and

Maria Theresia

* Viennese pastries and

Interalpen-desserts

* a wide selection of newspapers

and magazines

Smoking Lounge * ambience of a British

gentlemen’s club

* comfortable leather

Chesterfield sofas

* selection of fine whiskies and rums

* wide choice of cigars

* individual humidors available

* large flat screen TV for sports events

Salon Bellevue* the style of an exclusive

drawing room

* pale colours create a

calm atmosphere

* ideal quiet space to read,

chat or play chess

* large flat screen for TV highlights

* fabulous views of the Tirolean Alps

A place with a relaxed but styl-ish atmosphere where guests can en-joy each other’s company and savour life in general – this concept defines the Karwendel Wing’s new venues. “There’s a space to suit every taste” says acclaimed architect Philip Wohl-farth of his designs. “The entire ground floor of the Karwendel Wing will have a new layout where guests will be able to relax in Café Wien, Salon Bellevue

or the Smoking Lounge.“ Elegantly decorated, with stylish furniture and exquisite service, the new spaces pro-vide perfect surroundings to relax over a drink and enjoy some civilised con-versation.

The centrepiece of the new space is Café Wien, where an authentic Viennese coffee house has been recre ated with loving attention to detail: iconic Thonet

chairs with bentwood backs are placed at small round tables with marble tops. Daily newspapers are on standby and courteous waiters serve your coffee on silver trays. Of course, Café Wien at the Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol not only re-flects the style of classic coffee houses such as Café Central or Hawelka in Vienna, but the coffee menu leaves no wish unfulfilled. You can expect every conceivable coffee speciality

from Einspänner to Wiener Melange and sweet treats such as Apfelstrudel and Sachertorte.

There’s an old school, British gen-tlemen’s club feel to the newly created Smoking Lounge: dark wood, forest green Chesterfield sofas and herring-bone parquet complete the look. We offer a wide selection of fine whiskies and rums and an attractive menu for cigar lovers with a focus on the best exports from Cuba (Cohiba, Monte-cristo, Partagas) and the Dominican Republic (Davidoff). Our cigar expert will be pleased to advise on your se-lection and we also offer private hu-midors for especially dedicated cigar smokers.

To complement the comfortable leather furniture, the Smoking Lounge offers a fireplace, a large flat screen TV and a table at which you can sit and chat, read or smoke your cigar in peace. Naturally, the Smoking Lounge is equipped with a new, highly effi-cient ventilation system to ensure a pleasant atmosphere.

Salon Bellevue is a sophisticated retreat situated right by the hotel hall, and furnished as a comfortable and

very exclusive living room, where you will feel very much at home. Pretty wallpaper and light colours such as beige, pale blue and cream set the rest-ful tone. The furniture grouping cre-ates a very private atmosphere where you can read, relax, chat or play chess in peace. Guests can also watch foot-ball matches or other TV highlights on the large flat screen TV.

The renovation works take place during our winter closed period. We would be delighted to welcome you to the newly refurbished Karwendel Wing when we reopen and hope that you will feel inspired to spend many relaxing hours there.New rooms for

style-conscious connoisseurs

Refurbishment of the Karwendel Wing

The Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol presents three new attractions for guests: Café Wien, the Smoking Lounge and Salon Bellevue.

Ambience is everything in our new venues.

Café Wien resembles a classic Viennese coffee

house in every detail.

It’s hard to resist delicious Viennese specialities.

Winter Package

Fun in the snow! Winter’s first snowfall is a much anticipated event. Because this glittering white blanket not only makes the Tirol picture-book perfect, but gives our guests so many different ways to enjoy some sports and activity.

Winter season at the Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol

When the ‘white magic’ coats tree-tops and mountain slopes, it’s time to head outside into the pristine land-scape. The mountains around the Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol are a dream for skiers. There is a 260 km network of signposted cross-country skiing trails on Seefeld’s high plateau. You can join the trail right at the hotel’s front door, glide through sparkling, winter-white landscapes and enjoy magnifi-cent views.

Downhill skiers can also look for-ward to a great choice of pistes. See-feld is home to Gschwandtkopf and Rosshütte ski regions and there are other attractive skiing centres in close proximity.

Those who prefer their winter sports fun on runners can take to the pistes on a toboggan. An excursion to the toboggan run at Gaistal or Strass-berghaus makes an unforgettable day out for both adults and children. If you prefer a quieter life, the hotel has its own ice rink where you can skate or try your hand at curling. Ski equip-ment, toboggans, skates and curling stones are available from the hotel’s hire shop.

Keen hikers don’t let winter dis-courage them from enjoying the Tirol’s mountain world. Equipped with snow-shoes, our experienced mountain

guide takes groups along snow-cov-ered trails to picturesque corners and magnificent viewing points. Whether snuggled up by a roaring fire or enjoy-ing a night time ramble by torchlight, winter at the Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol is a perfect season for great roman-tics. For a truly fairytale experience, we recommend a carriage ride, where gentle-natured Haflinger horses lead you through the peaceful winter idyll. You can snuggle up in a blanket and savour the pristine natural scenery and clear mountain air.

For more action and a taste of wil-derness adventure, why not take a trip with a sled and pack of huskies. You will explore the Tirolean Alps at nearly 20 kph, and really connect with the natural world.

There are plenty of opportunities for day excursions in winter too. See-feld is a popular destination, with its traditional weekend Christmas mar-ket of festive wooden stalls offering Glühwein and roast chestnuts. Inns-bruck is also worth a visit, with no less than five different Christmas mar-kets to explore in the lovely medieval old town quarter. From there it’s just a short hop to Wattens and Swarovski Crystal Worlds. Discover this treasure-house of gems which sparkle and glit-ter to rival the snow crystals in the Tirolean Alps.

A recipe for 6 people

Potato dough for dumplings250 g cooked floury potatoes, 100 g strong plain flour, 1 egg yolk, salt.

Boil the potatoes in their skins, leave to cool, peel and pass through a fine sieve. Combine all ingredients and chill in the fridge. Cut open 6 plums, remove the stone and fill each with a sugar cube. Cut the dough into 6, roll out into circles and encase the plums.

Chestnut crème 100 g chestnut purée, 2 cl rum, icing sugar. Combine the ingredients. Plums 9 plums, halved and stoned, 100 ml port, 100 ml red wine, seeds from a vanilla pod, 50 ml elderflower syrup, 1 clove, 2 cm cinnamon stick, 1 star anise.

Simmer the spices in the port and wine, allow to reduce slightly, and

thicken with a little cornflour. Add the plums and leave to cool.

Walnut croquant ice cream100 ml milk, 100 ml cream, 3 egg yolks, 40 g sugar

Heat the milk and cream. Whisk the eggs yolks and sugar, add to the al-most boiling milk mixture and whisk over a gentle heat until the custard is slightly thickened. You can test if it is done by dipping a wooden spoon into the mixture then blowing on the back of the spoon. If wavy lines appear, the custard is perfect.

Walnut croquant 10 g butter, 10 g honey, 30 g cane sugar, 15 g cream, vanilla sugar, 200 g walnuts

Bring the ingredients to the boil; add the walnuts and leave to cool. Freeze the ice cream base then add the cara-melised walnuts.

Our sommelier Andreas Pfingstl re-commends a delicious walnut liqueur to serve with the plum dumplings: “M4 walnut liqueur from Mair’s

Beeren garten with its notes of cloves and cinnamon is a regional classic. This is a perfect way to finish an exquisite dinner.”

We wish you bon appétit.

Plum dumplings with chestnut crème

An Austrian speciality to try at home

Our head chef Christoph Zangerl and our sommelier Andreas Pfingstl present a magnificent Tirolean dessert and an equally delicious liqueur.

Tiroler Gröstl (meat and potato hash), Schlutzkrapfen (cream cheese ravioli), Speck (air-dried ham) and Knödel (dumplings) in endless variety are just some of the region’s most famous specialities, which promise real pleasures of the palate. But when our head chef Christoph Zangerl, who has been awarded 3 Gault Millau ‘toques’, turns his attention to trad-itional Tirolean cuisine, you can be sure of particularly refined creations and unique taste sensations. “I am

a great lover of Tirolean cooking, so regional dishes prepared with sea-sonal ingredients always feature on our menus” says Zangerl. He can be sure that produce from the Tirol will provide the best in freshness, quality and flavour and ultimately, top qual-ity ingredients are at the heart of his award-winning culinary art. “One of my favourite traditional dishes is plum dumplings. And when served with chestnut crème and walnut croquant ice cream they taste just fantastic.”

Spa Package

The sauna village offers so many ways

to relax.

On request a sauna master will help you get the best from your sauna or steam bath visit.

Wellbeing

Our Alm and Salt saunas have been completely renovated and now meet the highest standards of design and technology. The Interalpen- Hotel Tyrol’s sauna masters are particularly proud of the salt sauna: illuminated salt bricks on the walls store up energy over several hours and release infra-red heat. Time spent in this sauna pro-motes relaxation, improves your well being and strengthens your immune system. The Alm sauna is a Finnish sauna in classical sense: maintained at temperatures of 95 –100 °C it is ideal for “pouring ceremonies”. In ad-dition to a state of the art ventilation system, two windows provide fresh mountain air and an excellent oxygen supply.

The sauna village has several other places where you can enjoy some pleasant heat. The highlights include a Tirolean bake house, where the aroma

of freshly baked bread fills the air as you enjoy the 60 °C heat. The mod-erate temperatures of the Bio sauna are ideal for your first experience of a sauna, to allow your body to accli-matise to the beneficial heat. The two steam baths (herbal steam bath and a precious stone grotto) maintain a more moderate temperature than the sau-nas and the humid air soothes your airways.

If you prefer, one of our sauna mas-ters will instruct you in the secrets of the most beneficial sauna session, during which he will enhance your sauna experience by pouring fragrant infusions onto the coals and circulat-ing the air.

During your sauna, pamper your skin with honey, olive oil, salt, yoghurt or other products. After a sauna or steam bath it is a special pleasure

to wade through the delightfully re-freshing Kneipp hydrotherapy stream, which meanders through the sauna village. And afterwards why not relax and restore your energy on a day bed in our spacious Spa area.

We predict a warm winter

Alm sauna and salt sauna modernised.

Our sauna village is an oasis of tranquillity and warmth. Two particularly relaxing features are the Alm sauna and the Salt sauna.

Christmas and New Year

When winter takes hold in the Tirolean Alps, there is no better place to be a guest than in the Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol. And Christmas is a particularly magical time.

Enjoy some peace and quiet in the run up to the festive season and take time to recharge your batteries. Idyl­lic rambles in the snow, long evenings in front of a roaring fire and visits to traditional Christmas markets cannot fail to put you in a celebratory mood. The hotel looks radiant in the glow of countless candles and beautifully dec­orated Christmas trees. We invite you most cordially to spend a peaceful and happy Christmas with us.

We say farewell to the old year with an evening to remember. After an ex­quisite New Year’s Eve dinner menu, you can dance the night away before we greet 2013 with a spectacular, mid­night firework display.

Look forward to a Christmas and New Year programme full of highlights and surprises.
