Yesterday we shared with you a few things you probably didn’t know about Johannes Oerdin – because he was giving a concert in Ischgl. Today we show you what happened at the concert itself.
5 THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT JOHANNES OERDING
Johannes Oerding is a star. Everyone knows his hits, like “Kreise” or “Weiße Tauben.” Today the singer’s appearing at the Top of the Mountain Easter Concert. Here are five things that you never knew about Johannes Oerding. And his five best songs.
PAZNAUN PEOPLE: MARC FRERIKS, TENNIS CLUB CHAIRMAN
Marc Freriks is 41, German by birth and has lived in Ischgl for almost 20 years. He is the proprietor of the restaurant and pub “Alt Paznaun” and is active in the town as the chairman of the tennis club. He speaks to Trisanna about love, a great sport and growing into a new homeland.
SUNBED ISCHGL!
The weather is treating us well this Easter week, very well indeed. What could be better than sitting outside the hut on a ski day and simply looking up? Up into the sun, of course. Trisanna visited some of the sun-worshippers.
SPRING SKIING: THE BEST CORN SNOW SLOPES
When the sun warms up the snow thoroughly during the day, and the same snow freezes again in the night, then we get, with any luck, this wonderfully smooth corn snow, which is so much fun to ski on off-piste. But where is it? Robert from the snow sports school in Ischgl showed us his three favourite spots.
DEMO-SHOW 2019: THE BIG FINALE
Ten times now the ski instructors from the Ischgl ski school have provided a spectacular snow show on the Prennerhang. Yesterday was the final show. Trisanna was there – and filmed the last three minutes.
TRISANNA HISTORY: THE KAPPL SCHÜTZEN COMPANY
The Kappl Schützen, or riflemen, were reestablished in 1951. But their history began much earlier. An historical profile from the very first mention up to the present.
IS THE WEATHER GOING CRAZY? NOT REALLY. IT’S BEEN MUCH WORSE
Yesterday morning we woke to a beautiful – white – surprise. Fresh snow. In the middle of April. That sounds crazy, but hand on heart: we’ve had much weirder weather here before (and we’re delighted by the perfect conditions, of course – Ed.) Here are the wildest whims of the weather from the Ischgl Village Chronicle.
PRO AND CONTRA: SKIING UNTIL THE LIFT SHUTS
An occasional series discussing the big questions of skiing – questions with only yes or no answers. Today: should you really go right up to the top again at 4pm?
PAZNAUN PEOPLE: GÜNTHER ZANGERL, RETURNEE
Günther Zangerl is 43 and grew up in Ischgl, before going to Innsbruck for many years for work. Now the qualified lawyer is back. And in one of the most important positions in all Pazanun, at that. He speaks with Trisanna about joy and responsibilty.
LOOKING FOR THE HEN’S EGGS
Paznaun is an historical region, full of wild stories about clever people, forward-looking deeds, figures of good and evil – in the legends, at least. Today, the legend of the hens who hid their eggs.
SKIING ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF LIFE
The Easter holidays start tomorrow, and with them the part of the season which leisurely skiers most look forward to: sunny skiing (although the weather forecast for today and tomorrow means this could just be theoretical). All the same, Trisanna has five tips you should take to heart:
SHOVELLING SNOW
The fun park, better known as Ischgl Snowpark, is the highlight of Ischgl for snowboarders. But to make sure it really does offer fun, it has to be shaped every day. How is it done? We watched Daniel, the shaper, at work.
MR SIEBERER, WHAT MAKES YOU THE FASTEST CHEF?
Martin Sieberer doesn’t just have three Gault-Millau toques for his cooking in Trofana Royal, he also has the fastest turns of any Ischgl chef. In the next few days, he’ll be skiing one race after the other. Trisanna got hold of him between two races and asked him – in a world exclusive – what his secret is.
CAN CHEFS CARVE?
There are definitely more top chefs around in Ischgl right now than anywhere else – not in the kitchen, though, but out on the slopes. Welcome to the Chefs’ Star Cup and first Ischgl Gourmet Festival.
THE LAST DOWNHILL RUN OR: HOW MANY SKIS FIT ON ONE PISTE?
Even the most wonderful day has to come to an end sometime. And then comes the downhill run where everyone who’s been out in the Silvretta Arena all day long meets up on the last downhill run. We caught the last turns on the 1a on a Sunday.
PAZNAUN PEOPLE: ROLI TSCHODER, DAREDEVIL
Roland Tschoder is 22 and in winter he’s a freelance snowboard professional. He’s recognized as the best jumper in Paznaun, and enjoys being chosen as the sickest rider in competitions. He came to meet Trisanna with his hand in plaster – which doesn’t stop him from doing jumps, though.
AUSTRIA’S EMPLOYER OF THE YEAR? THE HOTEL POST IN ISCHGL
Traditionally, the trade magazine “Rolling Pin” selects Austria’s best employer in the catering sector. This year the winner was a hotel which we all know very well: Hotel Post in Ischgl.
THE GALTÜR ALPINARIUM. AN EXPERIENCE.
There are days like today, when the weather isn’t exactly ideal. Not even here in sun-kissed Paznaun. The good thing is that even if the journey to the top of the mountain isn’t worth it today, you can still experience “the top”. And even keep dry whilst doing so. Here, of course, in the Galtür Alpinarium.
THE TRISANNA GRANNY COOKS FOR US. TODAY: PAZNAUN KASMUAS
Every region has its traditional old recipes. Paznaun in the past was a place where people didn’t have very much. And so back then that’s how they cooked: with simple ingredients but with a great deal of love. The Trisanna Granny, Herta Siegele, shows us just how.
