Our contribution to environmental protection

Because small things change the world

“Be the change you want to see in the world;” that is why we have thought about how we can protect the environment in our Aparthotel with the help of our guests. Here is what is important to us.

 

 

Drinking spring water from Burgeis
At our aparthotel, you can enjoy fresh, high-quality spring water straight from the tap at any time—in the spirit of sustainability and quality.
We have made a conscious decision to avoid plastic bottles in order to conserve resources and reduce our environmental impact. Please help us minimize plastic waste. Together, we can make a small but important contribution to protecting our environment—without sacrificing comfort.

 

No waste
We do not waste food. Our animals are happy about the surplus bread and vegetable leftovers.

 

Heating
We heat in a particularly climate-friendly way. Our wood chip heating system and a district heating network powered by wood chips produce far fewer emissions than heating with oil or other fuels.

 

Massages
For our wellness treatments we use certified natural cosmetics from South Tyrol. High-quality essential oils relax and unwind body and mind.

 

Electricity
Our 90 kWp photovoltaic system including storage battery allows us to generate a part of our own electricity. South Tyrol is rich in streams and lakes; we benefit from this and get the rest of our electricity from the region.

 

Charging stations for E-cars
We have installed 4 Wall Boxes for your e-cars and focus on soft mobility with the Lake Resia Guest Pass.

 

Waste sorting
We sort our garbage consistently and ask our guests to help us with this, too. You will find information about the waste sorting system in your apartment or room.

 

Cleaning
You are welcome to book your flat with or without cleaning. Towels are only changed on request. Our staff regularly undergo further training in order to use as little cleaning agent and water as possible. We use ecological detergents and cleaning agents. We clean heavy soiling with the Medi-Clean-Tec micro-dry steam system, which saves water and does not use any harsh cleaning agents.

 

Cosmetics
We choose our cosmetics carefully. They are certified with the Ecolabel Nordic Swan and we rely on refillable products as far as possible.

 

Bath slippers
Bath slippers are a welcome gift for some guests, while others have no use for them. To avoid unnecessary waste, bathing shoes are therefore only given out on request.

 

Infinity pool
For the sake of the environment, we disinfect our salt water infinity pool using salt electrolysis. This method is not only kind to the environment, but also avoids irritation of the eyes and dehydration of the skin.

Further Awards Because progress is important to us

This year, our sustainability efforts were also recognised by the prestigious austrian, tourism related magazine "Connoisseur Circle" with an award in the categories "Nature Hotels" and "Sustainability".

South Tyrol Sustainability Seal - Level 2

In South Tyrol a plaque is given to destinations and accommodation establishments actively committed to a sustainable future: the South Tyrol Sustainability Seal. Based upon the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) criteria, it gives recognition to entities in the tourism industry that ensure the protection of nature and people. Those people who, with concrete measures, tirelessly contribute to making South Tyrol a more sustainable place. The road to sustainability is long. There are, indeed, three Seal’s levels. Each level needs different criteria to be met. The third – which is the highest - corresponds to the GSTC certification and it is thus globally recognized.

 

We have reached Level 2 of the Sustainability Label South Tyrol and for us, sustainability has become an integral part of our philosophy. We don’t just fulfil the criteria for Level 1, we also work on promoting equality and value diversity in our team by offering growth and training opportunities to all our employees. We support local producers, use regional products and support non-profit initiatives to strengthen the bond within the community. Every purchase is designed to be as efficient and eco-friendly as possible, prioritizing materials with eco-labels and free from harmful substances. We want to build a sustainable future together with you.

"Landgrün" Award

Hardly any other type of holiday is as naturally aligned with sustainability as a countryside getaway.
Where life happens not in front of the TV, but just outside the door.
Where we’re reminded that milk doesn’t come from the fridge.
And where you can watch the ingredients for your bread grow.

LANDGRÜN stands for hosts and accommodations across Europe that place a strong emphasis on sustainability. They have been successfully assessed in various criteria covering the areas: INFORMING – ARRIVAL – LIVING – EATING – DRINKING – EXPERIENCING – DEPARTURE.
