For Dominik a perfect day in Ischgl in Tirol starts with a lavish breakfast, before hitting the slopes. He takes some rides with his friend and goes for lunch at one of the many mountain huts like the Alpenhaus, where the focus lies on organic produce from regional farmers. In the afternoon he enjoys a beverage on a sunny terrasse, followed by a great ride all the way down to the village of Ischgl. This is where the real fun begins, because Ischgl’s motto isn’t “Relax if you can” without reason. As a journalist Dominik travels a lot, but Ischgl is his home and where his heart lies. He always takes the opportunity to return for work reasons. The Top of the Mountain Concerts on the Idalpe are the big highlights every year, and Dominik always has a commission to film for TV stations all over the globe. The Top of the Mountain Concerts take place in the middle of this breathtakingly beautiful open air arena.
A perfect day here in Ischgl for me is having a hearty breakfast first of all and then
hitting the slopes. Grab your friends, do a couple of runs, have an amazing lunch on the mountain
in one of the many restaurants. For instance the Alpenhaus. They focus on very regional products.
All the meat is coming from local farmers. You can lunch like in a major city like in New York
or in London. Sit a little bit in the sun, enjoy a beer maybe or tea, hot chocolate.
And then ski all the way down to the village and then have a great dinner and a nice glass of wine.
That's pretty much a perfect day for me. I used to be living away from Ischgl but I love coming
back to Ischgl because there's so many fun things to experience. It's actually where my heart is.
Every now and then I get the opportunity to come back to Ischgl for work as well when I'm
filming and TV producing during the concerts and I'm providing footage for TV stations across
the globe and that's always a lot of fun. Interviewing people on the top of a mountain
is a very unique thing. The top of the mountain concerts are taking place on top of the mountain
in the middle of the skiing area. It's fantastic. You can still enjoy a nice morning of skiing,
snowboarding and then go to see a show in the middle of a breathtakingly beautiful
open-air arena which is very unique.
