Sustainability at Hotel Der Löwe
As an eco-label hotel, we are completely committed to green enjoyment and sustainability. Spend your well-deserved vacation with us with a clear conscience and ecological footprint.
We offer mountain spring water instead of iced tea, apples instead of chocolates, nature instead of computer games, ski tours instead of heliskiing and much more.
Green vacation without renunciation

not by your opinion."

Measures for the environment
Energy & water
Thermal energy from local district heating (biomass)
Photovoltaic roof (17 kW / p)
Mainly purchase of green electricity from hydropower
Reduction of energy and water consumption, energy-efficient building construction. As a result, we save 90 tons of CO² annually
Use of the best, high-quality, timeless and regional materials (z.B. e.g. rock wool as insulating material, Austrian sheep wool, untreated wood from the region, fabrics made of cotton, loden, linen, etc.)
NEW: Outdoor pool (15 x 5 m) heated all year round - heated exclusively with geothermal energy (heat pumps)
For the sake of the environment
Sustainability
Seasonal food from regional suppliers and responsible use of water and energy have always been a matter of course for us. This is reflected not only in the building materials used and the interior design, but also in our Mediterranean-alpine kitchen concept. A green thread that runs through all departments.
Did you know?
A total of 14 deep boreholes with a total length of 1,680 m were drilled for our year-round heated outdoor pool for high-efficiency heat pumps.
