How we care
Sustainability tracks
We like to be a few pedal lengths ahead and want to set a clear example with our environmental protection measures. When we receive an award for this, we are of course delighted. But the biggest incentive is the beautiful nature right on our doorstep.
The #itdoesn't hurt initiative is a non-profit association with the aim of keeping nature and the mountains clean. If we stumble across rubbish along the way, we pick it up and take it with us - wherever and whenever we go. Love nature. Save nature.
In 2014, we were the first hotel in Flachau to be awarded the Austrian Ecolabel.
Thinking sustainably and acting ecologically, even before the major conversion in 2024.
Our certificates
As a Climate Alliance company, we are committed to implementing specific climate protection measures within the company. For example, we have installed regional materials, LED lighting, energy-efficient windows and a heat-insulating façade.
The Austrian Ecolabel is only awarded to hotels that meet numerous other requirements in addition to comprehensive environmental criteria. From the use of regional food to the responsible use of valuable resources such as water. Compliance with the environmental guidelines is checked every four years by an independent expert.
The European Ecolabel is an international quality label used to identify consumer products and services. It was introduced by EC Regulation 1980/2000/EC and is also known as the Euro Flower.
Awarding:
The criteria are submitted to the Member States and the European Commission. Random checks are carried out on certified products by independent inspectors and the Association for Consumer Information.

Back to Nature.
We do this very specifically for the environment.
The existing 42 kWp PV system is joined by a further 88 kWp on the roof of our new building to generate electricity from solar energy. We also rely on an efficient heat recovery system with large buffer storage tanks, have 5 e-charging stations (more are being prepared) and a well-functioning resource management system. In 2015, we were awarded the environmental certificate for the state of Salzburg. Our decision to use local tradespeople is another plus for the region and the environment.
Keep on flowing.
With the renaturation of a section of the Enns, adjacent to the hotel, we are making a small contribution to giving the mountain stream more space again. Speaking of water: all our taps are of course equipped with water savers. Speaking of saving: we do without chemicals and clean all our rooms using dry steamers.
For the next generation
- 130kWp PV system with intelligent energy management for maximum self-consumption optimisation and optimal use of solar power for heating, hot water preparation and e-charging points
- State-of-the-art LED lighting with intelligent lighting control for maximum efficiency
- Ventilation systems with highly efficient heat recovery and air quality-controlled volume control
- Ecological rock wool as insulation material
- 85% of purchased electricity comes from hydropower in the region
- The heating is powered by biomass from the local heating plant
- Additional heating and cooling via a groundwater system
