Monica Galetti and Giles Coren visit a hotel deep in the snowy Bavarian Alps. Monica joins in the daily meditation session for the restaurant staff, and Giles recites poetry and travels to a mountain hut to serve dinner, while dressed in lederhosen. They join the hotel guests for an evening of world-renowned musicians playing for free.

Monica and Giles work behind the scenes of one of England's historic country estates, which the ancestral owners, Lord and Lady Masham, have opened up to guests.
