Sustainability at the Alpenhof

PARTNER OF THE ZILLERTAL ALPS NATURE PARK

We are fortunate to call the beautiful Zillertal Alps our home. This natural paradise has been a nature reserve since 1991 and has been designated as a high-mountain nature park since 2001, covering an area of 422 km². As a member and partner of the Zillertaler Alps Nature Park, our Hotel Alpenhof is distinguished by a deep connection to nature, expert knowledge of the region, and sustainable management of our operations.

Austrian Ecolabel

OUR COMMITMENT TO A GREEN FUTURE 

For us, sustainability is more than just a trend—it is a commitment we live by. Since December 2024, we have proudly held the Austrian Ecolabel from the Ministry of the Environment and are officially recognized as a Green Hotel. This independent certification stands for the highest environmental and quality standards—reliable, sustainable, and verified.

At the Alpenhof, we practice environmental protection out of conviction: with renewable energy, sustainable room design, and electric mobility. As a partner of the Zillertal Alps Nature Park, we actively advocate for the preservation of this unique landscape—for us, our guests, and future generations.

Because nature is not only precious, but also close to our hearts.

SOLAR CELLS

RENEWABLE ENERGY AT THE ALPENHOF

When the Alpenhof was newly built in 2006, we installed a 200 m² solar system on the roof. This is used to generate energy for underfloor heating, the swimming pool, and radiators. During the renovation in 2023, the system was replaced with a 200 m² photovoltaic system. This enables us to generate approximately 70,000 kWh of environmentally friendly energy. We also supply part of this energy to our low-temperature systems using energy recovered from the cooling units and the exhaust air from our ventilation system. In general, 100% of the electricity for our hotel comes from renewable energy sources.

“Sustainability has become an increasingly common topic of public debate in recent years. As a father of three myself, I am naturally very pleased to see this trend. Corporate social responsibility, CSR, environmental awareness—the list of terms is long. For my great-grandmother Luise Dengg, treating nature with respect, buying our food locally, and fostering a sense of community were simply second nature.”
Klaus Dengg, Jr.

SUSTAINABLE HEAT – PELLET HEATING AT THE ALPENHOF

When the building was constructed in 2006, we also decided to install a 450-kW pellet heating system—the eco-friendly alternative to conventional heating systems. While an oil-fired heating system emits approximately 303 g of CO2 per kilowatt-hour, the pellet heating system emits only 42 g.

Because not all waste is created equal—Waste sorting at the Alpenhof

Waste separation and responsible disposal are a matter of course for us. We place great importance on this in every single area of our facility. It is a simple yet absolutely essential step toward protecting our environment.

Green energy for optimal mobility

It is important to us that we stay up to date when it comes to sustainability. That is why we support the new technology of electric vehicles, which helps protect the environment and conserve resources. We offer our guests the option to charge their batteries right here at the hotel. This way, you can not only recharge your batteries, but you and your electric vehicle can remain eco-friendly and mobile. At our EV charging station, we offer the following socket type: Type 2. Please bring your own charging cable. The charging process is billed at €0.66 gross per kWh, with a minimum charge of €4.62 gross. A maximum of €96.00 will be authorized for the charging process.

You can also enjoy eco-friendly mobility in the Tux Valley. Since January 2023, the Tuxer Sportbus has been transporting guests in the valley comfortably and safely to their destinations with electric buses.

Local ingredients in the kitchen

Many of the ingredients used in the creative dishes that our head chef, Maximilian Stock, continually devises come from our own farm in Obsteig and the surrounding region. The shorter the food’s journey, the better. Not only does this improve the environmental footprint, but it also enhances both quality and flavor. At the Alpenhof Hintertux, we are wholeheartedly committed to regional sourcing. For sustainability in the region, to protect and preserve our wonderful surroundings, and to show our guests just how delicious Tyrol tastes.
