    Fine cuisine combined with a spectacular mountain landscape in the high alpine terrain nestle together on the Gaislachkogl like yin and yang. After an enjoyable hike to the heart-shaped Gaislacher Lake combined with a "stop-by" at the 007 ELEMENTS adventure world, the subsequent reward with modern alpine delicacies in the James Bond film location, the Ice Q restaurant, is perfect. The Ice Q on the Gaislachkogl, considered the pinnacle of enjoyment at 3,048 m, combines modern architecture, Alpine cuisine and fine wine culture to a stylish, relaxed summit meeting for gourmets. With a breathtaking natural experience at the Gaislacher Lake, the journey into the world of James Bond inside the Gaislachkogl and refined culinary culture with a panoramic view, the Ice Q theme hike Genusszeit guarantees a feeling of elation for all senses!
