Every autumn, magnificent chestnut trees transform the Eisack Valley into a golden hiking paradise. But these centuries-old trees are not only a blessing for the landscape; in the kitchen as well, the noble fruits with their valuable ingredients find their well-deserved place. Creative chefs conjure up delicious appetizers, main courses, and desserts from chestnuts every year, delighting the palate.
This year’s chestnut season reaches its peak during the “Eisack Valley Chestnut Weeks” from October 17 to November 1, 2026. For the nineteenth time, the Eisack Valley district of the Hoteliers’ and Caterers’ Association (HGV) is organizing these autumn specialty weeks. During this period, guests can enjoy creative chestnut delicacies at 13 participating establishments from Vahrn to Klausen/Lajen.
