24th Star Cup of the Chefs
The traditional Star Cup of the Chefs will take place in a new, two-part format in 2024. Highlight for Ischgl guests and foodies: Michelin-starred and award-winning chefs from Germany and Austria will be cooking alongside their Ischgl colleagues in a Four-Hands-Dinner on the evening of Sunday 21st April. The dinners with wine accompaniment can be booked at the following restaurants: Stüva at Hotel Yscla, Paznauner Stube and Koya at Hotel Trofana Royal, Schlossherrnstube at the Schlosshotel, Fliana Gourmet at Hotel Fliana and Lucy Wang. The cooking competition will take place as the second part of the Star Cup on the Idalp on Monday 22nd April. From 10 am the Ischgl chefs will go on a "smuggler's lap" of the ski area with their guest chefs to collect the ingredients for the battle to be held at three stations at 12 noon. The "smuggler’s lap" will be sprinkled with special culinary tasks. It will then be their task to transform the ingredients collected along the way into a gourmet dish as teams in the Lohberger Show Kitchen at 2,320 m above sea level on the Idal. The teams of six, made up of the Ischgl chefs and their guest chefs, will have 15 minutes to impress cooking legends Hans Haas, Rudi & Karl Obauer and Peter Knogl with their creations, which should complement the prestigious Grand Siècle Itération N°25, a prestige cuvée from Champagne Laurent-Perrier. The Four-Hands-Dinners on Sunday 21st April can be booked directly through the Ischgl restaurants from 10th March. Spectators are welcome to watch the action unfold on the stage on Monday 22nd April from 12 noon onwards. Further information: www.sterne-cup-der-koeche.de (German only).
