Next week will once again be a state of emergency in Kitzbühel. Because then the rich, beautiful, VIPs and VIPerln will once again descend on the Gamsstadt for the Hahnenkamm Race. But Rosi Schipflinger, the singing landlady of the Sonnbergstuben, is prepared. And not just because she has 45 dirndls hanging in her wardrobe.

She is a tireless worker. And Rosi Schipflinger is also a cheerful person with her heart in the right place. This is also the reason why the singing landlady of the Sonnbergstuben can count on her regular guests not only at the Hahnenkamm weekend.

A new dirndl every year
Traditionally, her establishment on the Bichlalm is not only the venue for the A1-Kitz-Night, where mobile phone operators come together, but also hosts a schnitzel party on the Saturday after the Streif. "We're going to prepare around 450 schnitzels for it," she tells the Krone about the preparations, "And I'm buying a dirndl especially for it again this year," she giggles. How many does she actually already have hanging in her wardrobe? "Well, that's already 45 dresses. But I have about a hundred aprons."

Otherwise, the top restaurateur enjoys the famous "calm before the storm" and actually prepares for the hustle and bustle how? "A glass of red with the guests every now and then and a little prayer for good weather next week."
