despite the generous wellness area
we are CO2 neutral
thanks to the following measures behind the scenes:
- good thermal insulation
- ventilations with heat recovery
- smaller tricks such as the nocturnal water reduction in the outdoor pool
- Additionally, our two PV installations provide about 26,000 kW/h of energy per year
and on the topic of heating:
Pellet heating - regional fuel - sustainable, hence CO2-neutral.
Our pellet heating systems with a total heating capacity of 200 kW have saved almost 950,000 l of heating oil so far - this is equivalent to about 2,750 tons of CO2. In 2021, two additional heat pumps were put into operation, which run on electricity from renewable energies.
Regional Products

Our pastries are delivered fresh daily to the Alpenhof Naturglück from the Sieberer bakery in Filzmoos.
Free range for
happy eggs
Our eggs come from a farmer in Carinthia. There they live in a species-appropriate way under free-range conditions.
Tastes Better Together
thanks to the AlmCard
To support our local Alpenhof mountain pastures, a few years ago we introduced the AlmCard Filzmoos. This allows guests to try homemade delicacies from local animals who are well-cared for and learn more about our culture.
not a long journey either
our dairy products have
Our milk, some cheese varieties, and also the yogurt at the breakfast buffet are produced and delivered to us by our neighbor, the Wolflehen farmer.
everything that works
homemade
Whether pesto, jam, syrup, schnapps - we make what is feasible and what brings us joy to make ourselves. With lots of love, ingredients from the region, and according to the season. We also like to sell goods from hobby artists in the region for our Souvenir Shop.
our whole heart lies
in our souvenir shop
Cooking, crafting, carving, casting, pottery and so on. Our team prepares everything possible by themselves, for local delicacies to take away. But also hobby artists from the region equip our shop with their artworks.
Traveling in an environmentally friendly way
Traveling without a car...
...is the most consistent way to reduce the CO2 footprint of a holiday trip. Because no matter what happens on site - the largest CO2 footprint is created by traveling with a combustion engine car or by airplane.

Handling Resources
conscious and frugal
Cleaning is always an important topic in hotels, and for us it plays a key role in sustainability. We deliberately use cleaning equipment that works without chemical agents – keyword: dry steam cleaning.
Where this is not possible, we rely on ecological products whenever we can. With mindful handling, we’ve managed to strongly reduce our use of cleaning agents.
Waste management is also an essential part of hotel operations. Thanks to our current system, the vast majority of our waste is already being recycled. It’s an ongoing process of improvement – because our long-term goal is clear: a true circular economy.

Crystal-clear mountain spring water from our own source
Our water is fed by the surrounding mountains and is perfectly safe to drink. It is very soft water – usually around 2° German hardness.
The Alpenhof is supplied by a total of three sources, all providing top-quality drinking water. This quality is continuously monitored, and we pay close attention to keeping it clean.

Does sustainability mean restrictions (e.g., less comfort, less choice)?
Not at all. For us, sustainable measures don’t mean “less,” they mean “more conscious.” You still enjoy comfort, wellness, and indulgence — just with respect for the environment and the region. Many guests even see this as an added value.
For example – towels in the rooms. In the past, daily changes were standard, but who really needed that every day? Nowadays, guests decide when they want them changed. The result: saving water and energy through far fewer laundry cycles — without sacrificing comfort.

Is sustainability at your hotel just “marketing,” or is it actually verified and certified?
No — we have undergone a genuine assessment and are certified with recognized environmental labels. This ensures that our measures are not just promises, but are regularly monitored.
And to be honest, in some areas these standards don’t go far enough. Especially when it comes to energy, we go well beyond the required measures.

How can I, as a hotel guest, help reduce my ecological footprint?
It’s quite simple — many everyday habits can be easily adapted while on vacation:
Use fewer towels, whether in your room or in the wellness area. Be mindful with water and electricity, avoid plastic, and separate your waste.
When it comes to food, reducing meat consumption also helps — and it’s good for you, too. Nowadays we eat meat almost every day — I don’t exempt myself here. It used to be different, and returning to that old habit would certainly be helpful. And regardless of what you eat, choosing regional products is always recommended.

Why is it worth staying at a sustainably run hotel — will I notice it as a guest?
Because sustainability benefits not only the environment but also your vacation experience: with clean air, efficient energy use, and regional products, you feel more comfortable.
Personally, I like an alternative term in german for sustainability even better. If I translate it, it means something like "grandchildren-approved". That’s exactly the goal we should all aim for.

With so many environmental labels, it’s easy to lose track — how do I know yours are actually meaningful?
Good point! And honestly, it’s a really tricky issue. To know for sure, at least a little research is necessary — and who really does that these days?
We deliberately rely only on recognized, government-verified environmental labels. These are regularly monitored, have clear criteria, and are not just “bought.” They are independently verified, transparently evaluated, and fully traceable for you.
And if you don’t believe us, feel free to check for yourself.
