Sustainability

Living responsibility, with a seal.

We have learned that you are never too small to make a difference. EU Ecolabel and the Austrian Ecolabel are audited practice with us: regional, honest and without greenwashing.

Doubly certified

Two seals, one conviction

Welcome to our environmentally friendly hotel: with the Austrian Ecolabel and the EU Ecolabel, we are proud to make our commitment to environmental protection and sustainable tourism visible. Neither award is simply applied for: independent auditors check both of them regularly. For you as a guest, that means verified facts instead of empty promises.

Resources in everyday hotel life

Energy, water & housekeeping with care

Sustainability does not start in a catalogue, it starts in everyday operations: with heating, electricity and water, and wherever guests can help decide every day.

Pellet heating

Pellet heating

Heated with wood pellets made from sawmill residues: high heating value, regional fuel and significantly less CO₂.

Electricity from the region

Electricity from the region

30 kW of photovoltaics on the hotel roof plus 100% green electricity from VKW/Illwerke. LED throughout the house and key-card switches in the rooms.

Alpine spring water

Alpine spring water

Drinking water of regularly tested quality: refill your reusable bottles at our fountains instead of buying plastic bottles.

Water-saving housekeeping

Water-saving housekeeping

Towel change only on request, biodegradable detergents, optional housekeeping waiver per tablet, and rainwater for the outdoor greenery.

Bee responsible

Bee partnership on the hotel roof

With support from Daniel Berger of the Ländleimker association, two bee colonies live on our flat roof, promoting plant diversity in the surrounding area. The honey they produce is available in the Montafon souvenir cupboard.

Less waste

Avoid, separate, do better

Where waste is unavoidable, we separate it consistently. Where it can be avoided, we choose sustainable alternatives, from the breakfast buffet to the reception desk.

Water in reusable and glass deposit bottles, juice dispenser for soft drinks
No individually wrapped butter, refill systems at the breakfast buffet
Tablet instead of a paper guest folder and online check-in
Refillable toiletries in the bathrooms (Naturhautnah Metzler)
Edible straws, wipeable coasters and reusable cups
Consistent waste separation in the rooms and at the guest waste station
You can help too: pull your room key card when you leave, refill your reusable bottles, keep using your towels and opt out of housekeeping if you wish.
