Culinary events
in 360° Alpenland
Pleasure festivals between the Alm, town square and spa gardens
When the aroma of freshly baked bread mingles with the clear mountain air, when toasts are raised in the town square and tastings are shared on the mountain pasture, then 360° Alpenland shows its delightful side. Culinary events here are not a stage for trends - but encounters with people who live their craft.
Between the mountains in the south, the fertile fields around Bad Hall and the historic squares in Steyr, an annual cycle full of flavour unfolds. Markets, gourmet festivals, cider tastings, Almkirtage and themed weeks in the catering trade bring producers, innkeepers and guests together. Close, honest and rooted in the heart of Upper Austria.
Cheese and bacon are tasted on alpine pastures, in the towns culinary delights and culture are combined at atmospheric evening events, and in the valleys around the Kalkalpen National Park farms talk about their work between tradition and zeitgeist. Here, people taste, talk, laugh - and understand where a product comes from.
Special pleasure highlights in the 360° Alpine region
Seasonal events also set the tone: from the fresh greenery of spring to summer delicacies in the open air and autumnal moments of indulgence with cider, game and regional specialities. Every event is an invitation not only to taste regionality, but also to understand it.
The speciality: The distances between mountain, town and spa are short. A visit to the gourmet market can be combined with a hike, a cultural evening in Steyr with a multi-course meal or a thermal spa day in Bad Hall with regional tastings. Everything is close together - and together they form a harmonious whole.
Culinary events in 360° Alpenland are moments of togetherness. Genuine, grounded and supported by the conviction that good flavour needs time, origin and attitude.
When long tables stretch across historic squares, Alpine pastures become venues for honest culinary art and the aroma of regional specialities fills the air in the spa gardens, the 360° Alpine region shows its delightful side. Culinary events here bring together producers, hosts and guests - from small gourmet markets with cheese, cider and fresh bread to themed evenings in the town restaurant or seasonal festivals centred around harvest and customs.
People and their products take centre stage: Vegetables from the region, reinterpreted classics, vegetarian and vegan creations, craft beer and fine distillates. Markets, cookery workshops and multi-course evenings create encounters - personal, approachable and with a look behind the scenes.
The result is an annual cycle full of flavour - from spring markets and summer street food days to autumn harvest festivals and winter moments of indulgence.
