Holiday close to nature

As a traditional, familiy-run hotel many questions go through our mind every day: How do we preserve Ehrwald intact nature, which we are glad to call our home and is our greatest treasure. What is important when it comes to living together in a small village. And how can we create a place to work, where people love to be.
We are convinced that it is the sum of many little things that can grow into something big.

...around the corner

To achieve a culture of sustainability we always try to use as many regional and seasonal products as possible for you - from the kitchen to the paper for the daily morning post.  Short transport distances not only reduce CO2 emissions, but also ensure freshness and quality taste.

We pick our products and partners very carefully and ensure direct contact with our suppliers on a daily or regular basis. To give you a little insight, here you'll find some of the local suppliers who have been providing us with their great products for many years:

...more regional, less waste

We care as much about using organic products as we do about selecting goods that come with minimal packaging where there is a choice.

For instance, we think it is really important to buy low-waste products instead of excessively packaged goods. When it comes to food our chef gives careful consideration to appropriate storage and menu planning.

...achieving more together

We value that many guests and members of our staff are environmentally engaged and voluntarily participate or put forward green ideas:  

  • Preventing food waste by smaller portion sizes (or take a second helping from the buffet :))
  • Switching of the lights when leaving rooms
  • Reusing towels
  • Limiting housekeeping
  • Car-pooling to work/hotel
  • Bringing one's own slippers to avoid single use
