Lungau Rahmkoch – the Sweet Seduction of the Alps

The Lungau Rahmkoch, also charmingly called the "Lungauer Almmarzipan", is one of the sweetest traditions of the Salzburg Lungau region. This delicious specialty is made from exquisite ingredients such as butter, cream, sugar, aniseed, cinnamon, rum, and raisins and delights with its unique taste. The Lungau Rahmkoch makes every visit to a mountain hut a special experience.

In the past, this creamy dish was an energy-rich dessert for the hard-working population, today it is a highlight when stopping off at one of the region's 70 mountain huts. Whether after a strenuous hiking tour or just coming with a cup of coffee – this "calorie sin" is simply a must.

Each dairymaid has her own secret recipe, which makes this specialty an unmistakable treat. Piece by piece, you can taste the connection to the surrounding Lungau mountains and the loving preparation that makes this dessert so special.
