Yearly Training of Our Chefs
Our cooks are not only the people who prepare your food; they are an integral part of the cultural immersion on each trek. Through an annual refresher course, they learn more about the historical background of the food they prepare. Enthusiastic to teach, they describe the source of the ingredients used, the way they are prepared, and the meaning behind each dish. This helps travelers engage in the process of learning about the culture of the place they find themselves in at every meal.

Besides their culinary competence, our chefs are refreshed on hygiene practices every year. They guarantee food quality by controlling each process in meal preparation and cleaning, ensuring that all procedures go beyond standard hygiene norms.

Trekking chefs do a lot more than just cook meals—they’re a big part of making the whole trekking experience better. They help set up and take down the camp, connect with local communities to find fresh ingredients or even pick up new recipes, and they often join in around the campfire, sharing stories that bring everyone together.
