Chefs Collective: Wald & Wiese Signature Dessert from Chef Christian Rescher

Overlooking the small but quaint village of Lech in Austria, is a luxury boutique by the name of Aurelio Hotel Lech.

The hotel is one for those with deep wallets… everything can be demanded and achieved with a 24-hour concierge service, wellness centre and at-your-service hospitality by all the friendly staff running this rather exceptional luxury hotel.

If you can not afford to splash out and stay at this hotel, the restaurant could be something you can indulge in if you are in Austria – hiking, skiing or simply trekking with Alpacas ( yes, the hotel has 3 Alpacas to take you on your trails in the mountains!).

The restaurant is run by Chef Christian Rescher and his protegee Markus Niederwanger.

Be sure to ask for the gourmet menu or you will be stuck with alpine dishes which makes it a shame given the talent of Chef Christian who brings natural ingredients from the region of Vorarlberg to life.
