SUSTAINABLE HOLIDAYS AT AN ECO-HOTEL
Appreciating nature and being at one with it
Sustainable holidays provide happiness all round. Treating yourself to something good, knowing that you respected ecology and sustainability creates more than just a nice feeling. As a sustainable hotel with an innovative glue-free solid wood construction and Tyrolean sheep wool insulation, the Waldklause was the first hotel in this exquisite category in Austria. In addition to that, our Naturhotel meets the low-energy quality standard for tourism businesses. During the construction, local materials were preferentially used by regional craft enterprises.
When spending your holidays at the Eco-Hotel Waldklause, bearer of the Austrian and European Eco Label, much care is taken to ensure the sustainable use of natural resources. Certified electricity from renewable, CO2-neutral energy sources is used here. External consultants were also hired to determine water consumption and potential savings. The Naturhotel also takes on a pioneering role with its own waste management concept. The entire hotel is heated by the Längenfeld biomass power plant.
Ecology & Sustainability in the Naturhotel
You spend your holidays in nature and are accomodated by a Climate Alliance business that takes responsibility for climate protection. The commitment to nature can be seen in the partnership with the Ötztal Nature Park and in the fact that birdhouses, bird troughs and squirrel feeding stations have been installed in many outdoor areas of the Waldklause Nature Hotel. We also support ecological travels by train with a free transfer from the Ötztal railway station and from various bus stops in Längenfeld. Our Nature Cuisine comprising regional products underlines the sustainable orientation of the Naturhotel Waldklause.
