Local and sustainable?

Absolutely!

A lot of wood, natural materials, and high-quality furnishings crafted by local companies reflect our love and connection to nature and the region. Sustainability and regionalism are perceptible in all areas. Many of the ingredients used in our gourmet kitchen come from East Tyrol. A wonderful place to relax is our Nature Spa with a bathing pond, indoor pool, and various saunas. Even in the variety of treatments, natural products take center stage.

We act sustainably...

...since 1996!

Out of love for the environment, we operate sustainably, proactively and responsibly. By using energy-efficient materials and technologies, using heat and water sparingly, using environmentally friendly cleaning agents, avoiding waste and separating rubbish. For us and for future generations.

Food
We prefer sourcing our food from local and seasonal suppliers to directly promote economic value in the region, eliminating intermediaries. Short supply chains emphasize the freshness of our products, and we serve small portions to minimize food waste and operate in an environmentally friendly manner. Second servings are not charged ;-)

Waste
We actively work towards minimizing our waste by continually optimizing our procurement processes. Additionally, we opt for local mountain spring water instead of bottled water, avoiding long-distance transportation and contributing to the reduction of our environmental impact.

Cleaning Products
Approximately 90% of our cleaning products bear an eco-label, making them environmentally friendly. Modern dosing systems also help us significantly reduce consumption. In the kitchen, such a system has allowed us to cut consumption by approximately 50%.
Electricity
A 42 kW-peak photovoltaic system covers approximately 20% of our annual energy needs. Excess electricity is converted into heat to use resources efficiently. The remaining electricity comes from renewable sources.

Water
In 2022, the water consumption averaged 210 liters per overnight stay, already 30% below the Austrian hotel industry average. We employ innovative water-saving systems in our hotel rooms to further reduce consumption.

Heating
Heating is provided by the local district heating plant, which primarily relies on regional wood as fuel. During our renovation projects, we prioritize high-quality thermal insulation and heat recovery to continuously enhance the energy efficiency of our facilities.

We love homemade things

We bake our own bread, make jams, and offer our guests homemade herbal lemonades. Our cake and strudel creations at the afternoon buffet are legendary, and the stone pine schnapps by Senior Chef Sepp Ganzer is unique. Because homemade simply tastes the best. In our hotel shop, you'll find our homemade specialties as well as a selection of souvenirs from local artists for those you'd like to delight.
