Today for tomorrow

Sustainability at Hotel Gundolf

At Hotel Gundolf, we combine sustainability, comfort, and accessibility to create a modern living space where our guests can feel at home while making a positive contribution to the environment.

electric vehicles

For guests with electric vehicles, we offer a convenient e-charging station directly on site. This promotes the use of emission-free vehicles and makes it easy for our guests to practice environmentally friendly mobility.

photovoltaic system

Our photovoltaic system generates clean energy from sunlight, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. We can produce almost 60% of the electricity we need ourselves. The Pitztal Valley is also home to Europe's highest photovoltaic power plant on the Pitztal Glacier. The plant uses solar energy to generate clean electricity and reduce CO2 emissions.

Public transportation network

Thanks to the excellent public transport connections, with a bus stop right in front of the hotel, CO2-neutral travel is easily possible.

Regional and organic cuisine

At Hotel Gundolf, conscious enjoyment is our top priority. Our cuisine combines tradition and sustainability by using regional, organic, and climate-friendly ingredients to create delicious dishes.

Promoting regionality
We focus on short transport routes and support the regional economy by sourcing most of our food from farmers and producers in the Pitztal valley and the surrounding area. Whether it's fresh milk, meat, or herbs—we serve the best the region has to offer.

Quality and sustainability
Our guests can look forward to dishes prepared with regionally grown ingredients. Quality and sustainability are at the heart of what we do, offering you a special culinary experience.

Vegetarian options
As part of our responsibility to the environment, we offer a wide selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes. In doing so, we not only promote climate-friendly nutrition, but also enable conscious enjoyment for every taste.

Energy efficiency and resource conservation

Energy-saving lighting:
Modern LED lamps are used throughout the hotel, significantly reducing energy consumption while still creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Sustainable energy sources
Our hotel uses sustainable energy concepts such as solar energy and heat pumps to minimize CO₂ emissions and make sensible use of the natural energy of the Pitztal valley.

Intelligent heating and cooling systems
To save energy, we rely on intelligent technology: heating and air conditioning systems switch off automatically when windows are opened or rooms are not in use. This ensures that no unnecessary electricity or heat is consumed.

Efficient water consumption
In our bathrooms and public areas, we use water-saving fittings and dual-flush toilets. In addition, we use rainwater wherever possible to further reduce water consumption.

Waste prevention and recycling

At Hotel Gundolf, we focus on sustainable concepts to reduce waste and conserve valuable resources. Our goal is to preserve the beautiful nature of the Pitztal Valley—for us and for future generations.

Zero-waste concepts
We avoid single-use plastic wherever possible. Instead, we use refillable soap dispensers in our bathrooms and reusable water bottles that our guests can use during their stay.

Recycling stations
Well-marked recycling bins are available for our guests so that recyclable materials such as paper, glass, and plastic can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Together, we actively contribute to waste separation.

Preventing food waste
We minimize food waste by carefully planning our purchases and using leftover food for staff meals. We are also exploring opportunities to collaborate with food-sharing initiatives to distribute surplus food in a meaningful way.

Sustainable materials and equipment

At Hotel Gundolf, we make sure that sustainability is also reflected in our choice of materials and furnishings. In this way, we combine comfort with the responsible use of resources.

Natural cosmetics
Our bathrooms are stocked with environmentally friendly toiletries that do not contain microplastics. These high-quality natural cosmetic products are not only gentle on the skin, but also on the environment.

Eco-friendly bedding
We use organic cotton bedding for our guests, which is sustainably produced and characterized by its high quality and allergy-friendly properties. This ensures a healthy and restful night's sleep.
