Helmut Tschiderer combines passion and profession
From cook to sculptor - from Tyrol to Samnaun
For many years Helmut worked in his skilled profession as a cook. Today he still helps out occasionally at the Hotel Des Alpes. His occupation was also the reason why he came to Samnaun in 2001. In his free time, the Tyrolean has always been artistically active. Helmut made his first craft experiences at the age of four or five, when he cut his fingers.
An unconscious talent
Helmut Tschiderer was not aware of his talent right from the start. This only became clear to him when it was pointed out to him by a friend: While waiting for the same, the young Helmut was busy with a drawing as a gift for his brother. His friend asked in amazement if he had drawn the drawing in the short waiting time. Thus Helmut was made aware of his talent.
Palpable enthusiasm
Helmut Tschiderer always enjoys his artistic work. Sculpture is his life, because at least mentally he is at sculpture seven days a week. Helmut's passion for his activities is clearly noticeable in his works of art as well as in his stories. At the vacation tip "carving and stone carving" he passes on his enthusiasm to the guests.
Handicraft lessons with Helmut
In cooperation with the Samnaun Upper School, Helmut Tschiderer carries out projects in the handicraft lessons, for example the carving of a traditional mask, to his delight. After only a short time, the students show enthusiasm, which can be seen from the fact that they work until the school bell rings. Helmut is pleased with the appreciation he receives for his commitment.
Flamingos in the winter sports resort of Samnaun
Helmut created seven "flamingos in the snow" in January 2017. The birds were on the snow-covered bank of the Schergenbach in Samnaun-Ravaisch, directly opposite the ski slope. The flamingos in the snow were a popular photo subject with ski guests. Now the flamingos can be found further out of the valley in Samnaun-Laret at the confluence of the Milbach and the Schergenbach at the alpine dairy.
Out and about in Samnaun's nature in winter and summer
In his free time, Helmut can be found riding his e-bike in the summer and skiing in the winter. For him, riding an e-bike is like a voyage of discovery. In addition, he relaxes several times a week in winter at the Alpenquell adventure pool with a visit to the sauna or while swimming. Likewise, as a former chef, Helmut enjoys the top gastronomy in the Samnaun Valley, which he appreciates.
