Our kitchen team looks forward to seeing you!

Head chef Christian …

"After 12 years away, we have returned to the Gailtal and have been cooking for Alpen Adria guests since December 2017. The good atmosphere in the kitchen should be reflected in our dishes. Regional specialties, creative and freshly cooked is our motto. As a chef, it is very important to me to emphasize the taste of the individual products and not to over-season them with foreign flavors."

… and his wife Medina in the patisserie

"I am responsible for the patisserie and love to spoil our guests with delicious sweet variations every day. I also help with the creation of the starters, we are a very good team in the kitchen and have a lot of fun.
In our free time in the afternoon we enjoy going for a walk by Lake Presseggersee, we like to spend our days off in Villach or in nearby Tarvisio with a good pizza and an Italian cappuccino."

An excursion tip from Christian and Medina: The water adventure trail in Rattendorf, the educational trail , is laid out as a circular route and is also accessible with the baby carriage . There are also benches and tables for resting and barbecue areas.

Sous chef Veronika

"I completed my training as a chef at the Thermenhof Warmbad Villach. I then got a taste of the Alpen Adria Hotel. I liked it so much straight away that I have now been spoiling guests with delicious food in the family business for 10 years. I really enjoy being a sous chef. I feel very much at home in the Rainer family business. My motto is to go to work with a smile every day. I like being part of the team. Over the last few years, I've made lots of wonderful memories, they're all special. Graduation dinners are always fun and cheerful. My colleagues are all very nice and some of them have really grown on me. The kitchen team works well together and a joke now and then is just part of it."

An excursion tip from Veronika: Dobratsch Nature Park - enjoy the wonderful panorama. And for culinary delights, the farmers' market in Hermagor on Saturday.

Cook Mario

"I'm part of the kitchen team and support my chef and everyone else. I really enjoy working here because the chefs are super nice and I can work with my wife. Our kitchen team is often stressed, but there is never a lack of fun, we laugh a lot in the kitchen. At the end of the season, we have a lot of fun on the company outings."

An excursion tip from Mario: " As an Italian, I can recommend the nearby mountain village of Tarvisio, you are quickly over the border and immediately feel the Italian flair

In the kitchen - Beata

Beate came to Austria from Poland in 2016 and has been working in the Gailtal Valley since 2017, and has now been with us at the Alpen Adria Hotel since the winter season. She is very hard-working and diligent and doesn't shy away from any work - whether it's doing the heavy pots in the washing-up or helping with the room cleaning on the floor. She has two grown-up children (her daughter Kamila is also in our service department) and a son in Poland. And what's particularly nice is that Beata will soon be a grandmother for the first time - her grandchild will be born in Poland!

An excursion tip from Beata: Up to the mountains on the Nassfeld - always pure relaxation on a day off!

Kitchen help Eveline

"I worked as a chef at Naturgut Gailtalerhof for 20 years. I joined the Alpen Adria Hotel in 2015 as a breakfast and salad chef. But I also particularly enjoy the patisserie; in winter I love baking delicious cookies… Together with our head chef Christian and my colleagues, we make a great kitchen team."

An excursion tip from Eveline: Eating a good slice of cake at Semmelrock in Hermagor

As a dishwasher and all-rounder: Robert

After Josef retired, Robert joined our team as a real asset. He supports the kitchen as a dishwasher, but as a trained gardener he is also a great help in maintaining our outdoor areas. Robert comes from Hungary, at the moment a lot of communication is still done via "Google Translate", but the longer Robert is here, the better he will speak German. And we can tell that Robert is a really lovely, great person and employee anyway!

A hiking tip from Robert: "My colleague Aad took me up Monte Malurch on the Italian side of Nassfeld, it was a very strenuous hike for me, but it was soooo beautiful!"

As kitchen assistant: Kerstin

Just as an employee from the kitchen left us, Kerstin stood in front of the door and asked for a job… It couldn't have been a more perfect fit. She is such a hard-working, loyal and uncomplicated employee that we are delighted to have her. She and Medina make a great culinary team when it comes to starters and desserts, but the rest of the team are also great fun, especially when we raise our glasses in the kitchen in the evening at staff birthday parties…

A hiking tip from Kerstin: The cozy, idyllic circular trail around Lake Presseggersee, where you can relax on the benches in between and enjoy the scenery!
