I only really visit 'Hans The Butcher' (as its known to us UK types) once a year when i'm working…read morein Mayrhofen. Although worth visiting just to stare at the amazing displays of meat, its also a winner to 1. pick up your lunch / dinner on a daily basis and 2. grab one of the local delights to take home with you as a souvenir (depending on import rules of course). To choose your lunch couldn't be simpler even if you don't speak Austrian as there is a picture board above the counter showing exactly what your lunch will look like and the staff speak good to pretty much fluent English. They are all lovely, friendly and helpful too. So don't worry if you cant speak any Austrian they are their to help you. My favourites were a gammon type sandwich, the frikadella type meatball sandwich and the good old roast chicken. You can also pick up some salad or chips on the side amongst a few other things. Hans shop is just at the bottom of the main Penken lift so you can't miss it and you don't have to take an additional journey or diversion in those awful ski boots! The quality is fantastic and the portions plentiful. At a time when you're either playing hard or working hard Hans is your man!

The little seen butchers in Araba in to be found in a rustic house on the road out of Arabba…read moretowards Corvara on the right. It is run by Francesco Delomengo, one of 6 brothers who live in the village and it's been ticking away with business for the past 2 years. Inside it is small but has a good selection of fresh meats. He has all the usual, chicken, lamb, pork & beef and often he will also have game such as rabbit or game birds. The prices although not as cheap as larger supermarkets in the area (the nearest is 45 minutes away) are good value and it's always nice to support the local shopkeepers. He can also order stuff for you which he'll have within a couple of days. The meat is of a good quality and in the main fat free and the goulash beef is some of the best non fatty meat around.
