Intro

More and more travellers are looking for eco-friendly accommodation. Here you will find a selection of Snow Sports hotels that stand out for their sustainable initiatives and environmentally friendly practices, such as solar energy, waste separation, sustainable construction or support for local communities. These accommodations have reached level 3 "leading" in the Swisstainable programme. This highest level is designed for establishments that already have a comprehensive, recognised sustainability certification. Certifications that cover all dimensions of sustainability and are regularly externally audited are taken into account.

Hotel Riffelhaus 1853****, Zermatt

The Hotel Riffelhaus, which belongs to the Matterhorn Group, defines goals across the entire value chain, which they implement by means of appropriate measures. In this way, they achieve an improved level of sustainability in the relevant environmental areas. Specifically, they contribute to reducing plastic waste, among other things. By switching cleaning products to reusable spray bottles, 60% less plastic waste is generated and packaging waste is reduced at the same time. Another contribution to reducing plastic waste is achieved by using refillable shower gel and shampoo dispensers.

Berghotel Randolins***, St. Moritz

Guests stay in six existing buildings, more or less a small hotel village. These are being gently and sustainably renovated on an ongoing basis, where attention is always paid to regional references. The hot water for two of the buildings is generated by solar panels. The electricity for the entire business is generated 100% from renewable energy sources (hydroelectric power) and a photovoltaic system is currently being planned. The restaurant operates a very regional kitchen, which sources its ingredients from local suppliers.

Valsana Hotel Arosa****S

With the construction of the Valsana, a hotel for the future was created. A hotel that focuses on sustainability and produces virtually no CO2 emissions. How did they manage that? By using an ice battery that heats the entire building without using fossil fuels. In addition, building materials from the old building were reused (upcycling) and can now be found, for example, in the wooden panels of the lounge or as chairs in the rooms.
