The most common dessert is strudel, usually apple but sometimes apricot (marillen), poppy seed (mohn) or curd cheese (topfen). Two typically Tyrolean, and very substantial desserts, are Germknodel, a sweet dumpling filled with poppy seeds and plum jam, served with custard (vanilla sauce); and Kaiserschmarrn, a pancake made with raisins, which is served chopped and dusted with sugar.

Vegetarianism is still considered by many Austrians to be an exotic fad, and catering for vegetarians is rather hit or miss. In refuges, vegetarian fare is unlikely to be more than pasta with tomato sauce, knodel in cheese sauce or a veggie casserole.

Drinks

Tap water is usually safe to drink, and on the few occasions when it is not, you will always be told ‘nicht trinkwasser’. Water in refuges often comes straight from mountain springs. Many drinking fountains and water troughs, often drawing water from springs, can be found along the path, particularly at lower and middle levels. However as the underlying rock is mostly porous limestone, natural water sources at higher altitudes are often scarce and you should take water with you.
