Culinary Autumn

Sensations don't happen by chance

When, if not in autumn, do you look for moments of pleasure? The forest glows in brilliant colours, the leaves fall to the ground almost in slow motion and the mushrooms sprout from the moss. And when the colourful season arrives in the country, enjoyment is at the top of the program in the family resort Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis! Tradition, customs and cuisine, that's what you associate with Tyrol!

Summer is nearly over, autumn is starting - this is when the sensation weeks take place in the colourful season. Autumnal decorations are in every corner. Here a corn on the cob, a pumpkin or old tools and bales of hay over there for a particularly cozy atmosphere. Romantic moments in the mountains paired with culinary pleasures. What could be better?  Can there be anything better? Not really!

Another highlight: the traditional “Almabtrieb”. When the alpine summer has gone, the days are getting shorter and the lush grass on the alpine pastures is getting thinner, the cows are driven down into the valleys. For the return to the valley, the cows are colorfully and festively “crowned up” and adorned a magnificent headdress. Every year the Almabtrieb is a magnet for tourists and locals as well as guests are gladly invited to celebrate the homecoming of the animals.

Autumn in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis is just as colourful as our well-filled event schedule. Whether baking bread like "ameah", visiting the countless market stalls, experiencing art with all your senses at art exhibition "Kunst am Berg", the traditional harvest festival or the nostalgic "Must Attend" meeting for tractor and classic car lovers - autumn isn´t boring with guaranty.


Autumn time is "Schwammla-time"

May we introduce This year's theme of the autumn: mushrooms or, as they are called in the local dialect, "Schwammla". Sentences like "Gia mr in d'Schwämm" are common here. That means something like: "Let's go mushroom picking".

Mushrooms grow all year round, but the golden autumn months of September and October are considered the peak season for mushrooms. People are drawn to the forest to go mushroom hunting. Discovering chanterelles, porcini mushrooms and the like makes collectors’ hearts beat faster. For many of us are the mushrooms simply part of autumn.

The tasty mushrooms are just as fun to collect in the forest as they are to eat and inspire hobby cooks and collectors alike. Together with chefs from Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, we organize cooking courses specifically geared towards the types of mushrooms.
Immerse yourself in the world of mushrooms and get an introduction on how to distinguish mushrooms, where they grow and how they can be processed into delicious dishes.
