Peaks of gastronomy in Alta Badia, Italy

Peaks of Gastronomy is calling all foodies with a series of initiatives which unite an outdoors lifestyle with the pleasures of good food in the heart of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage.
The ninth edition of the initiative puts the colours of the products used in the recipes at centre stage. It is known that the colours of the food we eat ever day impact on the well-being of our body and mind. Green vegetables, such as asparagus, broccoli, artichokes or green beans contain p.es. chlorophyll, fibre and calcium and lower the levels of cholesterol and blood pressure. Orange and yellow produce, such as oranges, carrots, lemons and pumpkin, contain beta-carotene, potassium and vitamin C, and are therefore suitable for the formation of collagen and maintaining the well-being of the joints. If we feel full of creativity and are working on a new project, then we'll aim for dishes in which blue and purple are the predominant colours; these naturally belong to blueberries, aubergines or red cabbage. When we need to move or stimulate our nervous system, we need red-coloured food, like tomatoes, red peppers, rhubarb or strawberries.


The "Peaks of Gastronomy" formula remains the same: eight Michelin-star chefs create a dish for eight mountain huts along the trails of Alta Badia. Each participating chef is assigned a colour, which is the one which features predominantly in their special dish. Hikers will be taken aback both by the wonderful taste of the gourmet dish, but also by the variety of colours, which transform this food and wine experience also into a feast for the eyes. White is the colour chosen by Norbert Niederkofler (St. Hubertus – Relaix & Chateaux Hotel Rosa Alpina, 2 Michelin stars). For the Lée mountain hut he creates a dessert called MANGIANEVE, a homemade yoghurt mousse, raspberry coulis and crunchy sprinkles. Matteo Metullio (La Siriola – Hotel Ciasa Salares, 1 Michelin star), paired with the Pralongiá mountain hut presents the “yellow dish”, potato gnocchi with saffron on burnt yellow pepper cream, lemon scent, yellow turnip salad and polenta chips. Nicola Laera (La Stüa de Michil – Hotel La Perla, 1 Michelin star) creates his dish for the Col Alt hut. It’s a scorched scallops on calf’s head, sweet and sour red onion, purple carrots and Cassis juice. At the Jimmi mountain hut hikers can taste the open pasta filled with venison ragout with melon and Cassis sauce by Nicola Portinari (La Peca, 2 Michelin stars). The predominant colour will be dark green. Giancarlo Perbellini (Casa Perbellini, 2 Michelin stars) is paired with the I Tablá hut for which he creates a cold rice and celery cream, smoked coregonus, croutons and raw oil. Purple is the colour chosen by Giancarlo Morelli (Pomiroeu, 1 Michelin star). He creates a venison loin candied with rhubarb and mustard with white polenta cubes for the Crëp de Munt hut. Orange is the colour that predominates the crunchy salt cod on potato, carrot and spring onion cream, turnip tops, raspberry caramel by Stefano Lombardi (Il Pellicano, 1 Michelin star), paired with the Mesoles mountain hut. At the Bioch hut guests will taste tagliatelle with red turnip juice with local herb pesto and grated pine nuts by Cristina Bowerman (Glass Hostaria, 1 Michelin star).
Each dish will be accompanied by a South Tyrolean wine, carefully selected by a local sommelier. This initiative takes place throughout the summer.
