8. The hot cocoa<br />
Café Munding, Tirol’s oldest café, is<br />
full of charming reminders of the past.<br />
Founded in 1803, the interior recalls<br />
its early days as purveyor to Archduke<br />
Eugen of Austria and Prince Ludwig<br />
of Saxe-Coburg-Koháry, but there<br />
are also details dating from the 1940s<br />
and a spluttering Faema E61 espresso<br />
machine. Munding has roasted its own<br />
coffee for more than a century, but its<br />
signature drink is the hot chocolate<br />
served on a silver tray: a highball glass of<br />
warm milk with Valrhona chocolate and<br />
a bowl of whipped cream on the side.<br />

9. The change of scenery<br />
Just 15 minutes from Innsbruck, Igls<br />
has been a full-fledged spa resort since<br />
1902, with Emperor Franz Josef and<br />
the Russian aristocracy summering<br />
here. But this Alpine village has<br />
plenty going for it in winter, too. The<br />
classic Sporthotel Igls has Mount<br />
Patscherkofel, the Olympic bobsled<br />
track and memories of two Winter<br />
Shopping in the Markthalle (left) and a<br />
chocolate treat at Café Munding (below)<br />
