Lech Zürs am Arlberg, 21 January 2025 – A night to remember for Austria’s fine dining scene: The Michelin Guide has returned to Austria – and Lech Zürs once again proved its standing as one of the leading gourmet destinations in the Alps.
At the prestigious Hangar-7 venue in Salzburg, the Guide Michelin presented its long-awaited new selection for Austria. After a 16-year hiatus, the ceremony marked a milestone for the Austrian culinary world. A total of 82 restaurants were awarded, and among them, two outstanding establishments from Lech Zürs received two Michelin stars each:
- Rote Wand Chef's Table
- Griggeler Stuba, Hotel Burg Vital
In addition, the Michelin Young Chef Award went to Julian Stieger, Head Chef of Rote Wand Chef’s Table – a remarkable achievement for such a young talent and a sign of the region’s thriving culinary future.
Michelin stars are among the highest distinctions in international gastronomy, standing for exceptional quality, creativity, and consistent excellence. For the restaurants, they bring not only prestige but also international visibility and a surge in discerning guests.
Lech Zürs has long been synonymous with culinary excellence. The village at the foot of the Arlberg boasts the highest density of gourmet restaurants in the world relative to its population. Under the title of a “World Gourmet Village”, awarded by Falstaff and Vöslauer, it offers a unique blend of alpine tradition, contemporary cuisine and unforgettable experiences – from high-profile culinary events like Arlberg Weinberg and Der köstliche Ring to a range of award-winning regional and creative dishes.
“The passion, creativity and consistency of our local chefs and hosts fill me with pride. Being present at the award ceremony was a true honour – and a clear sign that Lech Zürs continues to stand for excellence and innovation,” said Hermann Fercher, Managing Director of Lech Zürs Tourism. “On behalf of the entire region, I warmly congratulate all the award-winning restaurants and teams.”
