Nestled between soaring peaks and charming villages, and within easy reach with UK regional flights available, Innsbruck has carved out a reputation for traditional dishes with an innovative twist. Whether you're staying in the city, visiting the local villages or exploring the mountains, these five tips will help you savour the alpine culinary scene: 1. Sustainable Tyrolean traditions Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Patscherkofel Step into a 'Wirtshaus', these traditional Tyrolean inns are dotted across the city and are easy to spot thanks to the signature green tavern sign. Inns like the Goldener Adler in the old town serve mountain classics in atmospheric surroundings, while countryside spots like Landgasthof Stern in Obsteig take a garden to plate approach. Up in the alpine air at 1,600 metres, Alpengasthof Praxmar pairs panoramic views with plates full of game and freshwater fish – all locally sourced, of course. 2. Fine dining, alpine style Award-winning restaurants and chefs in the Innsbruck region are turning heads with menus that blend both precision and flavour. At Schwarzfischer in Stams, the day's catch is cooked before your eyes in their open kitchen. Meanwhile, Die Wilderin in Innsbruck's old town uses a range of locally sourced ingredients that are personally picked by the chef. For a true gastro experience, book a table at Restaurant 141 at the Alpenresort Schwarz in Mieming, where chef Joachim Jaud – recipient of two Michelin stars - serves elegant dishes infused with Austrian, French and Japanese influences. 3. Alpine huts, big flavours Fresh produce and regional delicacies Nothing works up an appetite like a mountain walk and Innsbruck's rustic huts are ready to reward your efforts. Aldranser Alm is a favourite with cyclists and known for its legendary Kaiserschmarrn (an Austrian traditional dessert, shredded pancakes), while Rinner Alm tempts guests in with their hearty dumplings. Nestled in the forest on the outskirts of the city (but still easily reachable with public transport), Buzihütte is the place to try a local legend: the Eiterbeule – schnitzel stuffed with cheese and sausage. For a leisurely brunch with a view, head to Adolf-Pichler-Hütte or Birgitzer Alm – but be sure to book ahead. 4. Young, green and deliciously fast Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Innsbruck's younger chefs are proving that fast food can be both delicious and eco-conscious. The Futterkutter food truck serves global one-pot dishes in returnable glass jars, while D-Werk wraps its doner kebabs in paper and plates up veggie options on biodegradable bamboo. For something more communal, One Green Table offers surprise vegan tasting menus served at a shared table, turning dinner into a social and sustainable event. 5. Markets made for grazing Innsbruck's market hall is a treat for the taste buds, from alpine prawns to artisan cheeses, it's a hub for fresh produce and regional delicacies. Saturdays at Wiltener Platzl are a local highlight too, with a buzzing farmers' market surrounded by authentic local eateries. For those wanting to taste Tyrol at their own pace, dedicated 'Genuss-Radweg' cycle routes wind past farm shops and taverns, each stop offering a taste of the region's best ham, cheese and preserves. Bonus tip: Become a Tyrolean chef for a day. For a hands-on foodie experience, the Genusswerk cooking school offers workshops where guests can try their hand at making local specialities like Schlutzkrapfen (filled pasta) or bake their own rustic bread under the guidance of local chefs and farmers. Colette Verra, Marketing Manager at Innsbruck Tourism said: 'Innsbruck's food scene is where traditional alpine dishes meets urban international cuisine.

SUGARHILL's SS26 'python' Collection Is a Study in Texture, Memory and Craft
SUGARHILL'sSpring/Summer 2026collection, titled 'python,' continues the label's steady, but deliberate evolution. Eschewing rigid seasonal themes, the Japanese label now favors informal nicknames – often playful and sometimes selected by founderRikuya Hayashi's child – that reflect its fluid, process-led design ethos. This season builds on SUGARHILL's core philosophy: material development. This includes the exploration of nuanced finishing techniques, research-driven references to historical garments, the shaping of contemporary silhouettes and palettes as well as a deeply hands-on relationship with production factories. The brand also places a unique emphasis on the lived quality of materials, embracing the aging processes of indigo, iron and leather as part of its creative identity. The brand's guiding principle, 'Speak less, Think more,' further underscores this thoughtful and deliberate creative process. Drawing from the countercultural spirit of 1960s West Coast acid folk and hippie musicians, the collection channels both the sartorial freedom and raw textures of that era. To ground this vision, the team traveled through California, gathering imagery and experiences that informed the collection's sensibility. Simultaneously, they explored how American subcultures were interpreted through a Japanese lens, drawing particularly from bands like Murahachibu and Les Rallizes Dénudés — resulting in a collection that embraces a hybrid aesthetic rooted in both global and domestic nostalgia. 'This collection is a quiet but firm declaration of our consistency and intensity over the years.' – Rikuya Hayashi Visually restrained yet intricately crafted, the collection leans into what SUGARHILL calls 'well-designed with a twist.' Key looks emphasize material consistency, with diverse silhouettes cut from a single textile and elevated through secondary processing. 'We are gradually moving beyond the era of avant-garde materials,' the brand notes, instead favoring subtlety, realism and tactile integrity. Leather goods and metal jewelry, developed in close partnership with artisans, speak to this intention, merging high-level craft with emotional depth. Color functions as both anchor and accent. Mint blue and wine red emerge as central hues, punctuated by vivid pink accents and anchored by deep indigo and black leather. Fabric aging is not only accepted but encouraged — buttons are made to rust, denim to fade and threads to dull, bringing impermanence into sharp focus as an aesthetic value. Meanwhile, nostalgic textures like Tyrolean trims and bubble broadcloth are integrated into pared-back forms to 'add a layer of nostalgia and cultural nuance.' 'We simply want to keep creating and live our lives through making things, always.' – Rikuya Hayashi As the brand marks its 10th anniversary, this collection serves less as a celebration and more as a reassertion of its creative values. 'We want to reaffirm our dedication to deepening the creative process. This collection is a quiet but firm declaration of our consistency and intensity over the years,' says Hayashi. 'We've always questioned the default system of biannual runway shows,' says Hayashi, 'While they can generate hype and elevate a brand, they also risk being consumed too rapidly, ultimately diluting value and shortening a brand's lifespan.' Rather than chasing reinvention, SUGARHILL revisits and refines the values that shaped its earliest work. Holding a runway show this season is 'a precise act of presence,' and not a nod to trends or cycles. Looking ahead, the message remains clear and steady for Hayashi and SUGARHILL: 'We simply want to keep creating and live our lives through making things, always.' Stay tuned for SUGARHILL's highly anticipated release onHBX.
