Martin Sieberer has commanded this kitchen since 1996, now passing expertise to sons Thomas and Michael in a rare family succession.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the ski season run in Ischgl?
+
The season typically opens late November and extends through early May, with the closing weekend marked by open-air concerts that have featured major international acts since the 1990s. Snow reliability remains high due to altitude, with most terrain sitting between 2,000 and 2,872 meters.
What is the Silvretta Card and how does it work?
+
Accommodation providers issue this guest card automatically upon check-in. During summer, it covers unlimited use of mountain lifts, public buses throughout the valley, and entry to facilities including the Silvretta Center swimming complex. Winter visitors receive separate ski passes, though the card still provides transport and activity discounts.
How does dining differ between Ischgl village and the mountain restaurants?
+
Village restaurants operate year-round with full evening service, featuring international cuisine alongside Tyrolean classics. Mountain huts — the Pardorama at 2,624 meters being the most architecturally striking — serve primarily lunch crowds during ski hours, focusing on hearty Alpine dishes like käsespätzle and gröstl. Several huts remain accessible by gondola during summer hiking season.

Ischgl Paznaun
The Paznaun Valley cuts deep into the Silvretta range, with Ischgl positioned at 1,377 meters as its undisputed hub. The village proper clusters along the Trisanna river, its main street — the Dorfstraße — lined with traditional Tyrolean architecture housing contemporary restaurants and fashion boutiques. The Silvrettabahn gondola launches skiers directly from the village center toward 239 kilometers of prepared runs extending into Swiss Samnaun. Beyond the slopes, the valley stretches northeast through quieter settlements: Galtür, rebuilt with striking avalanche barriers after 1999, and See, where families gather around gentler terrain.
Dining here splits between refined hotel restaurants and rustic mountain huts accessible only by ski or summer hiking trail. The Paznauner Taja, a slow-cooked beef dish, appears on menus throughout the valley, reflecting centuries of Alpine farming tradition. Evening activity concentrates along the Silvrettaplatz, where terraces fill quickly after the lifts close. Hotel development ranges from family-run gasthöfe operating since the 1950s to recent five-star properties with extensive wellness facilities, many featuring direct ski-in access from the Pardatschgrat slopes.
