"In recent years, ice climbing has risen in popularity in the Alps, with routes covering frozen waterfalls, sparkling ice features, and otherworldly formations. Jochberg in Tyrol is one of the best places to try the heart-racing activity. The mountain’s north face offers multiple routes, but the Central Couloir is the real test; the 492-yard climb involves lengthy ice falls through powder and firn (granular snow). Note: this route is only available to climb when the winter is particularly cold."

The very best cooking of anywhere in and around Kitzbuhel can be found at this superlative small restaurant tucked up a lane off the main Kitzbuhel-Pass Thurn road on the outkirts of Jochberg. Andreas Shipflinger's cooks while his wife manages the front-of-house with great charm and even when full, manages to spend time with each table discussing the menu and helping with the superb choice of wines.
A most unusual starter of cold eierschwammerl (chanterelle) mushrooms came with lightly pickled vegetables in a glass pot was delicious, and the zander (pike-perch) baked with a rosti crust was absolutely superb. A magnificent half-litre of Zweiglt was one of the best I have had in the region (where every restaurant will serve even the most expensive wines in various sizes of jugs if you can't manage a whole bottle).
A little more expensive at Eur 70 for two than the usual, it's worth every schilling.

This place is truly spectacular. We arrived extremely early for our reservation because of our poor scheduling. The restaurant was packed, but the extremely kind waitress took our drink orders while we waited for an open table. When we sat down the goodness continued. I had the chicken cordon bleu. It was easily the best I have ever had. I strongly suggest coming here to see the beautiful family owned business to meet these fabulous people and eat incredible food.
