News about Gourmet by the lake at SEELEITEN
A new guest chef. A special evening. A menu to remember.
When summer days at Lake Caldaro reach their most beautiful moment, the water sparkles in the evening sun and Mediterranean lightness meets Alpine calm, a particularly indulgent time begins at SEELEITEN.
From 28 June to 12 July 2026, everything at SEELEITEN will revolve around Gourmet am See. Two weeks filled with refined cuisine, special moments of pleasure and summery lightness. A programme for everyone who loves good food. For those who enjoy discovering something new. And for those who want to not only taste culinary art, but truly experience it.
There is now an update for our culinary summer highlight: the originally planned Michelin-starred evenings will take on a new signature. On 5 July 2026, we will welcome Niklas Oberhofer to SEELEITEN Lake Spa Hotel – formerly the youngest Michelin-starred chef in Switzerland and a chef who inspires with a fine sense for aromas, aesthetics and special moments.
His passion, harmony and precision have been awarded one Michelin star and 17 GaultMillau points. His culinary signature is strongly influenced by Japonism: clear. refined. reduced. And yet full of depth. Regional products are brought beautifully into focus – always with the aim of creating a true WOW experience. A moment that stays.
Today, Niklas Oberhofer is founder and owner of noEVENTS – no ordinary moments, an event company that does not create ordinary caterings, but culinary experiences with character, depth and a very special atmosphere. At the same time, he is Co-Founder of Atelier 6, a project that, together with Marc Höller, creates special Fine Food moments.
This attitude fits wonderfully with Gourmet am See. With our love for special evenings. For fine cuisine. For southern lightness. For wine, the lake, warmth and encounters.
On 5 July 2026, Niklas Oberhofer will create an exclusive gourmet menu at SEELEITEN. Modern. refined. surprising. Embedded in two weeks full of cuisine, summer atmosphere and Lake Lifestyle.
Experience the lake!
But Gourmet am See is about far more than exceptional cuisine. It is a summer lifestyle shaped by the lake, the vineyards and the relaxed Mediterranean spirit of South Tyrol.
Mornings begin with gentle yoga sessions by the water, while Lake Caldaro is still perfectly calm and the first sunlight slowly reaches the shoreline. Guided SUP tours lead guests across the peaceful lake to the SEELEITEN Lake Park on the opposite shore — a light and relaxing experience, ideal even for beginners.
Early risers can look forward to sunrise hikes with breathtaking views across the awakening Alpine landscape, including coffee served at the summit.
Wine? Absolutely lovely!
Wine also plays an essential role throughout these special weeks. During personal tastings hosted by the Moser family, guests discover the character, origin and stories behind the estate’s own wines.
The Gourmet Nights themselves are accompanied by elegant aperitivo moments, carefully selected wine pairings and soft live music from piano and guitar — creating an atmosphere that feels refined, intimate and effortlessly relaxed.
Summer Night Concert with a BBQ by the lake
Another highlight of the programme is the summernight concert at the private lakeside setting of the SEELEITEN Lake House. Guests enjoy an unforgettable evening with a flying buffet, BBQ specialities, atmospheric live music and a warm summer breeze directly by the lake. Alternatively, the classic 5-course gourmet menu in the hotel restaurant remains available. Attendance for the Lake House event is limited to 80 guests and included at no additional cost. A complimentary shuttle service between the hotel and the Lake House runs throughout the evening.
With Gourmet at the lake, SEELEITEN brings together outstanding cuisine, relaxed summer days and meaningful moments by the lake — creating an experience that lingers long after summer ends.
