Our guests repeatedly mention a special feeling they experience when entering our hotels and rooms. This is not surprising, as we frequently utilize natural materials and ensure energy-efficient equipment in our sustainable buildings.

We work closely with regional companies to ensure sustainable architecture, efficient heating, good insulation, and energy-saving ventilation. This allows us to guarantee our guests not only beautiful accommodation, but also restful tranquility.

The Pletzer family's hotels are characterized by their low CO2 emissions and are also pioneers in tourism in terms of energy generation. We rely on modern and highly efficient heat pumps produced by IDM Energiesysteme, a company of the PLETZER Group based in Matrei in East Tyrol. Thanks to this innovative technology, we achieve extremely low overall energy consumption, which protects our environment in the long term.
