Sustainability at the Quellenhof Lazise

A private hydroelectric power plant generates sustainable electricity directly on site.

We have a combined heat and power (CHP) plant that converts energy sources such as gas, oil, and wood into green electricity and heat. It produces approximately 120kW per hour, – enough to cover the annual electricity needs of around 40 households of four people.

Our photovoltaic systems provide valuable solar energy and help to heat our pools.

We mainly use rainwater to water the garden. Our rainwater collection system has enabled us to reduce our water consumption by up to 50%.

All showers and taps are fitted with aerators or flow restrictors, which reduce water consumption without compromising on comfort.

To minimise our plastic use, we purchase detergents and cleaning agents in bulk. A modern dosing system is used to measure the right amount of detergent.

Our hotel’s entire lighting system (indoor and outdoor) is equipped with state-of-the-art LED lights, which are controlled by various sensors and optimisation software to keep energy consumption as low as possible. In addition, the service life of LED lights is around 25 times longer than that of other light sources. Defective LED lights are not sent to landfill but recycled.

Our air conditioning and ventilation systems, food refrigeration units, kitchen appliances, washing machines, dryers, and sauna ovens are all linked to an intelligent energy optimisation system that optimises the energy use and efficiency.

Thanks to intelligent room control, we prevent overheating or overcooling of the guest rooms and public areas. Our heating systems generate heat from the ventilation system and heating elements.

Valve convectors and cooling units are serviced and cleaned several times a year to guarantee efficient operation.

We prioritise the use of seasonal ingredients in our guest meals, minimising transport distances.

Our bar team exclusively uses biodegradable straws for our cocktails and other drinks.

Our Quellenhof shuttles and cars are mostly electric and are charged directly at the hotel.

We provide our guests with charging stations for electric vehicles and have e-bikes, e-motorcycles, and electric vehicles for hire.

Climate protection concerns us all. Therefore, we ask our guests to try to help us reduce the amount of laundry by being mindful of their usage.

We have implemented a comprehensive waste separation system, and our staff is trained in proper disposal and recycling practices.

Instead of printed guest information, we use a digital concierge service – up-to-date, practical, and paperless.
Our Digital Concierge replaces the printed Guest Directory in the rooms. All information about our region, external partners (activities), and the weekly programme (excursions, Body & Mind) can be accessed at any time via any device.
