Hand in Hand with nature
Make your vacation with us sustainable
As a panorama hotel on Mount Plose, we not only offer comfortable accommodation in a particularly popular holiday region – we are also aware of our responsibility towards the nature that surrounds us. Fifty percent of our energy needs are ensured through the utilization of our own photovoltaic system. This innovative and environmentally friendly technology also allows us to actively contribute to the promotion of renewable energy sources. During your stay with us, you will see for yourself how important it is to us to use natural resources in a respectful, ecologically sound manner.
Environment-friendly – From A to Z
Starting with ‘Recycling’. Wherever possible, we do not use plastic in our house. When building the apartment house ‘Fuchsmauer’, we wanted to assure energy efficiency and opted for a climate house A with living space ventilation. In our new house extension, wood was used as a renewable, natural raw material. We’re heating with pellets and solar collectors. Our spring water flows from our taps, the wells and also in the swimming pools. In order to work as emission-free as possible and to avoid long journeys, our laundry is not washed outside, but in the hotel’s own laundry room.
Firmly rooted in our region
In the management of our hotel, we also pay great attention to regionality. Because our roots are here in the Isarco Valley. We are proud of that, which is why we maintain traditions and prefer cooperation with local businesses and institutions. Therefore, for our regional cuisine we only use local suppliers. Restricting unnecessary road traffic also plays a role here. For example, what about a car-free vacation? With the BrixenCard – which you’ll receive free of charge – you may use the public transport network for free.
Naturally in touch with nature
To be honest, it is not difficult for us to choose sustainability. We are surrounded by beautiful nature with fragrant forests, lush meadows, and a fantastic view of the surrounding mountain ranges. We have a garden with aromatic herbs and flowers at the house. Furthermore, there is our small farm and the alpine hut – all good reasons to act with care and a sense of proportion.

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.
Level 1:
By bearing a Level 1 Sustainability Seal, we have taken the first steps towards a sustainable transformation. We have therefore rethought our strategy and planned corrective measures. We calculate our energy, water and CO2 consumption to lessen our impact on the environment. On these premises, we already use renewable energy to a great extent. We avoid cleaning agents containing harmful substances and cut down on the waste we produce. We also encourage our guests to act responsibly.
