ice Q is a gourmet restaurant on the summit of the Gaislachkogl above Sölden in Tyrol, at 3,048 meters, used for board meetings, management meetings, company parties, birthdays and mountain weddings. A multi-function room holds 30 people for conferences, and the restaurant has 130 seats inside and 82 on the terrace. It is reached by the Gaislachkogl cable car and a connecting path.
Seminars and company events
The meetings page presents ice Q as a premium location for board and management meetings, described as a think-tank above the clouds. The multi-function room for 30 people is equipped with an overhead projector, a screen, a flipchart and Wi-Fi. Gourmet food is available before, between or after sessions.
Next to the restaurant, the James Bond installation 007 ELEMENTS at 3,050 meters can be combined with a meeting. The 5-star hotel Das Central in the valley is the partner for stays: it has further conferencing options and can plan and organize a meeting or seminar by request, and the site mentions 125 rooms at that hotel.
Weddings and receptions
The celebrations page lists company parties, birthdays and mountain weddings, and a dedicated page covers getting married at ice Q. That page was not available when the facts were collected, so ask the team about ceremony options, guest numbers and dates. The restaurant's 130 seats inside and 82 on the terrace give the scale of a celebration.

History and setting
The first restaurant on the summit opened in 1966, when the cable car made the peak accessible. The old building was demolished in 2012, and the new ice Q, designed by the Tyrolean architects Obermoser, opened in December of that year. It has appeared in a James Bond film.

The restaurant is at the Gaislachkogl mountain station, connected by a path to the cable car, which climbs to about 3,000 meters in 12 minutes with a capacity of 3,600 passengers an hour. Guests ride up from Sölden in the Ötztal.
