Sustainable hotel in the Ötztal
With this in mind, we would like to involve our employees and you, dear guests, in our sustainability concept just as much as our regional suppliers and service providers. Our aim is to create a sustainable hotel in Ötztal with a holistic system where everyone makes their contribution every day and takes responsibility.
Guided by values such as respect and mindfulness of nature, we can manage to make a difference with many small measures and enjoy a high-quality, healthy coexistence with a clear conscience.
The following topics are important to us:
Communication
"Talking brings people together" - and we love talking about sustainability! In the interests of efficiency, however, we also use technical tools that keep everyone involved up to date on our measures for greater sustainability. An employee guide encourages compliance with the sustainability concept.
Resource-friendly handling
Measures such as a solar system to heat the swimming pool, connection to the local district heating system, the installation of energy-saving light sources and careful use of energy sources in the building have already been successfully implemented. Our electricity comes exclusively from renewable energy sources. During renovation and remodeling work, we pay attention to the efficient use of energy resources making a sustainable holiday in the Ötztal possible.
Our savings measures
We have implemented water-saving measures in all areas of the hotel (toilets, washbasins, showers etc. are equipped with the appropriate aids to save water). We inform our employees about water-saving options and update them on an ongoing basis.
Waste avoidance
We follow the principle of producing as little waste as possible. We also aim to reduce organic waste through precise calculation when cooking and by offering smaller portions of food. We do not buy drinks and food in portioned, non-recyclable containers and also avoid the use of plastic in the bar and restaurant as far as possible. We completely avoid unnecessary disposable products such as slippers.
Environmental consciousness
All departments have access to biological cleaning agents and environmentally certified cleaning products. Employees are trained by the department management in their proper use. By offering the option to forgo room cleaning, fewer cleaning agents are used, and towels are no longer washed daily.
Food & Beverage
Regional, organic and reusable are the keywords of our purchasing policy in the food & beverage sector. As a sustainable hotel in Ötztal, we try to source as much food as possible from regional suppliers, have a selection of organically produced food and drinks in our range and only use (where available) food and drinks in recyclable containers. The "Bewusst Tirol" award emphasises our commitment to local products from the region.
E-Mobility
We promote environmentally friendly mobility for our employees and guests, for example through the provision of free rental bikes. When guests arrive, climate-friendly transportation options are clearly communicated. We encourage our employees to carpool or use public transportation. Thanks to partnerships with local transport providers and our included Ötztal Summer Card, our guests have the opportunity to use public transportation free of charge.
Green arrival bonus
We reward our guests travelling by train and bus with a voucher of € 20,00 per room and stay for treatments in our Rosavita wellness oasis.
And what's next?
...therefore, our concept for a sustainable hotel in Ötztal is an ongoing project that continuously evolves. The management team and all employees regularly review and question the measures implemented. We ask ourselves: How can we improve further? Where is hidden potential for even greater sustainability?
If you have any ideas on how we can contribute to a better future together, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to exchanging ideas with you and wish you a pleasant, sustainable holiday with us in the beautiful Längenfeld – today, tomorrow, and into the future.
