What are sustainable hotels?

Sustainable hotels are hotels that are intensely committed to ecological, economic and social sustainability and thus have a positive impact on the environment, the local community and the guests. These hotels implement environmentally friendly measures such as recycling, the use of green electricity, resource conservation and renewable energies. They often use high-quality and durable materials, offer regional food and organic products and strive for CO2 neutrality. Economically, they act consciously, rely on local employees and an adapted infrastructure. Socially, they are committed to fair working conditions, flexibility, inclusion and future-oriented development, among other things.

Why are sustainable hotels needed?

By choosing a sustainable hotel, you are contributing to a more environmentally and climate-friendly holiday. This is because the accommodation promotes environmentally friendly practices such as energy efficiency, waste minimisation and the use of renewable resources. They support local communities, protect the environment in their region and often offer healthy, local cuisine. It is also important for hotels and guests to act sustainably so that future generations can also enjoy their holidays here.

What characterises a sustainable hotel?

A sustainable hotel is characterised by various features that aim to reduce environmental impact, promote social responsibility and ensure economic profitability. These include energy-efficient measures such as the use of LED lighting, water conservation and effective waste management. These accommodations also emphasise regional and seasonal products, support local suppliers and reduce the use of plastic. When building and renovating, they rely on natural materials and building biology concepts. In addition, sustainable hotels also aim for "net zero" CO2 emissions or even climate positivity by offsetting emissions, among other things. Climate certifications from LEED or Green Globe make the hotel's sustainability efforts visible to guests.Of course, like many other holiday activities, skiing causes a certain amount of CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, it is possible to make your own ski holiday more sustainable by taking certain measures. For example, the ecological footprint can be reduced by choosing environmentally friendly ski resorts, using public transport when travelling to and from the resort and staying in sustainable hotels. By making small changes and acting consciously, winter sports enthusiasts can also make a direct contribution to minimising their impact on the environment and enjoying a sustainable ski holiday.
