Tyrol
Wow, what a view! The mountain panorama that opens up at this 2085m-high location is uplifting – as is the food. Billing itself as one of the highest gourmet restaurants in Europe, Verwallstube is a wonderful pick for a pre- or postski lunch. Delicately presented, flavour-charged dishes range from bouillabaisse to veal cheeks braised in red wine until meltingly tender, served with truffle mash.
There's a lovely peak-gazing terrace for sunny days.
