Travel in harmony with nature & culture

Sustainable tourism is a type of travel that places particular emphasis on authenticity and mindfulness. Read this blog post to learn what constitutes a sustainable vacation, what to pay particular attention to when planning, and find out where the perfect place is for a break in harmony with nature and the environment.

The future of travel will be shaped by a conscious approach to wildlife and the environment. There is also a focus on appreciating local cultural characteristics. Sustainable tourism is committed to bringing holidaymakers closer to regional traditions and highlighting their value. Furthermore, the protection of existing ecosystems is a top priority. Sustainable travel aims to keep the carbon footprint as low as possible. True to the motto: live and let live. However, there is no need to compromise on the holiday feeling. Quite the opposite: those who are familiar with local values ​​and characteristics actually experience the holiday destination more intensely.

• Sustainable transportation: Whether by train, bus, or electric car, the options are diverse and ideal for those who want to arrive at their vacation destination in a CO2-neutral and relaxed manner. Löwen guests traveling by train are picked up free of charge by our e-shuttle and receive a 3% environmental bonus on their room rate. Additionally, an extensive public transportation network, an electric car, and a free electric charging station are available.

• Ecolabel: Those who have a clear stance on sustainability and environmental protection also receive the corresponding label. It's worth taking a look at the individual sustainability measures before booking. You can find our awards here.

• Knowledge about the vacation destination: To preserve the unique character of the destination, it's important to find out about the most important regional features in advance.

We treasure our unique spot amidst the breathtaking Leogang Mountains. Whether it's the beautiful wood in our nature rooms, the reliable green electricity from clean hydropower, or the pleasantly fragrant herbal massage oil in the Leonarium: we delight in the small and large wonders of nature every day. A deep awareness and genuine gratitude for the region accompany our daily work. It's a given for us that we treat resources sparingly and treat flora and fauna with respect.

Our love of the region also significantly influences our cuisine. We rely on a variety of organic, seasonal, and local products. For example, we buy our organic eggs from the Tomanhof farm in Saalfelden and our fish from the Grundner fish farm in Leogang. Short, transparent transport routes and unparalleled freshness are paramount to us.

In return for the many gifts, both large and small, that Mother Nature gives us, we have already implemented numerous sustainability measures. Our photovoltaic roof, our e-mobility charging infrastructure for the hotel and guests, including our own electric cars, and our culinary philosophy, which promotes regional, organic, and homemade cuisine, are just a few examples. Furthermore, we source thermal energy from the local district heating network, rely on organic certification for our cosmetics, and save 90 tons of CO2 annually through the energy-efficient construction of our buildings.

Leogang is the ideal holiday destination for all those who long for untouched nature. At the "Hotel der Löwe lebe frei" (Living Free Hotel), sustainability and environmental protection are combined with the highest quality and personalized service. Our guests value uncompromising enjoyment in harmony with the region, and this is precisely what we stand for: We practice hospitality of the highest standard in and with nature. True to our "live free" philosophy, the Hotel der Löwe is a place to let go, to enjoy, to relax. Holidays should be free, relaxed, timeless, and simply do you good! We offer our guests a place for these "live free" moments. Personal and appreciative service as well as a family atmosphere are what set us apart and invite you to enjoy yourself.

Sustainability is not a trend, but rather a necessity to preserve the beauty of nature. This requires each and every individual to take responsibility for their own actions and the associated impact on the planet. Those who already live an environmentally conscious lifestyle in their daily lives make an important contribution to preserving flora and fauna. But respecting nature is also important on vacation. This ensures that these particularly beautiful vacation regions remain unspoiled.

At the "Hotel der Löwe lebe frei," environmental protection and sustainability are of utmost importance. Commitment to nature—but also to our guests—is extremely important to us. We have created a place for all those who share our values ​​and want to enjoy their time off consciously and authentically. Whether it's a relaxing herbal wellness break, a vacation combining biking and relaxation, or perhaps a liberating digital detox weekend: We would be happy to reserve one of our stylish nature rooms for you and look forward to welcoming you soon to beautiful Leogang!
