Sustainable coexistence for a future worth living.
Of course, we not only care about the environment, but also about treating each other with respect. We therefore attach great importance not only to promoting the specialist knowledge of our team, but also to supporting their personal development. For us, sustainability is not just a question of environmental protection, but also of interpersonal relationships.
Our commitment to the environment and society is reflected in every detail of our hotel. Our kitchen team spoils you with a variety of regional and seasonal products, carefully sourced from farmers in the Salzkammergut, Upper Austria and Salzburger Land. From game specialties from our own farm to fresh fish from local lakes and rivers.
In order to minimize our environmental impact, we operate an environmentally friendly wood chip heating system that supplies the entire hotel with cozy warmth. These wood chips come from our own forest, where the wood is felled sustainably to maintain the ecological balance.
In addition, our photovoltaic modules on the roof contribute to a sustainable power supply.
But sustainability does not end with environmental protection. We also take on social responsibility, whether through our commitment to the community, our regional involvement or our willingness to cooperate. For us, the principle of togetherness is at the heart of all our decisions - for a better future for nature, animals and people.
