ice Q

About

At the breathtaking height of 3,048 m on the Gaislachkogl summit, ice Q takes haute cuisine to new heights—both literally and figuratively. Awarded two Michelin‑style Hauben by the Gault Millau Guide 2025, the restaurant offers a 3‑course gourmet menu crafted by chef Klaus Holzer and a curated selection of fine wines from three countries. The glass‑faced façade and open‑air terrace provide unobstructed panoramic views of the Ötztaler Alps, making every bite a visual as well as a gastronomic delight. The space is designed for tasting experiences beyond the ordinary: the Chef’s Table delivers an exclusive 4‑way tasting with champagne and mineral water, while the Wine & Tapas Lounge offers an elevated tapas menu paired with Champagne and rare wines—both specially aged by the altitude. The venue’s elegant interior and minimalist architecture, created by Obermoser, create an atmosphere of pure luxury that has made it a memorable James Bond filming location. Guests can enjoy the restaurant daily from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with a warm kitchen from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The summit dinner, held each Wednesday, further showcases the restaurant's flair for high‑altitude umami and musical accompaniment. Whether celebrating a wedding on the mountain or seeking a quiet night of gourmet indulgence, ice Q promises an unforgettable dining adventure where altitude, taste, and stunning alpine vistas converge.
