Gostner Schwaige

Top choice in The Dolomites


Chef Franz Mulser gives new meaning to the tag ‘locally sourced’ at his mountain refuge (elevation 1930m) on the beautiful Alpe di Siusi. The butter and cheese come from the barn next door, while salads are decorated with flowers from the adjacent garden and pastures. Other innovative specialities include hay soup, home-cured meats and refreshing herb-infused soft drinks bottled on-site.
