Our contribution to greater sustainability

We love our home and the nature that surrounds our hotel in Meran. Rolling vineyards, dense forests and impressive Alpine peaks. To preserve this natural environment for future generations of locals and guests, we are gradually implementing concrete measures in the areas of energy, resource conservation, regional value creation and social responsibility.

Our measures can make a real difference, but naturally we also rely on the support of our guests – because only by working together can we make a lasting difference.

Sustainability in everyday life

Our commitment has been recognized with the Sustainability Label South Tyrol ®

We have made a conscious choice to integrate sustainability into our daily work, step by step, by taking responsibility for
our surroundings, promoting the mindful use of resources, supporting regional supply chains, and contributing to an
ongoing cultural dialogue.
The Sustainability Label South Tyrol ® (Level 2) makes this commitment visible through clear criteria and concrete
measures, which are constantly monitored and refined.
In our company, we base our decisions on values that are fundamental to the region: environmental awareness, quality,
social responsibility, and a strong connection to our territory. These are the principles that guide our daily work.

Our measures focus in particular on the common good, regional products and supply chains, and energy optimization.

Sustainability Label South Tyrol ® is an officially recognized and registered certification.
