Sustainable holiday in South Tyrol – honest & certified

Attention to Every Detail

We believe sustainability is not only about major initiatives, but also about the small, mindful choices we make every day. For example:

Bath slippers: We invite guests to bring their own slippers from home. If needed, we’re happy to provide a pair on request. This small step helps us reduce waste from disposable items.

Minibar: Not all rooms include a minibar as standard — a conscious decision to save energy. On request, we’ll gladly prepare a minibar stocked with your preferred drinks.

Amenities: To minimize unnecessary waste, we’ve reduced disposable products in rooms and bathrooms. Of course, everything you may need is available upon request — just not automatically provided.

Conserving resources

Historical homes are inherently sustainable by design: our forefathers’ ambitions were less ephemeral and craftsmanship was in its prime.

Over the years, we have adapted the Orso Grigio Boutique & Gourmet Hotel to meet the contemporary demands of the times and those of our guests. We’ve made additions and renovations, particularly with energy efficiency in mind.

Supply & Recycling

We exclusively source renewable energies. The heat originates from the biomass power plant in Toblach – Innichen, while the electricity is generated from hydroelectric power plants in our mountains. It is important to emphasize that the energy provided by Alperia is 100% renewable.

Reducing waste is our primary criterion; the unavoidable waste is carefully separated and disposed of responsibly..

Regional & Seasonal

Our breakfast buffet offers a choice of primarily regional products that are free of packaging and which vary seasonally. Dairy products and cheeses are supplied by the local dairy and farmstead dairies. Farmers provide our jams and local bakers bake our bread.

Our kitchen offers meat and fish. We also prepare vegetarian, gluten-free and lactose-free dishes, as well as vegan meals upon request.

We pay attention

We use eco-friendly and chlorine-free cleaning products. For extended stays, we change bedding twice a week – or more often if you specifically request it. Our policy for towel service is: “Hang = re-use, Floor = request change.”

We invite you to take part in our Green Day initiative — a simple way to make a difference. By voluntarily skipping daily room cleaning, you help us conserve water, energy, and cleaning resources.

As a proudly sustainable hotel in South Tyrol, we also support short supply chains and collaborate closely with local artisans and regional farmers.

We pay our employees fair wages, apply all occupational safety and health measures, ensure gender equality, and provide dignified accommodation to our guests.
