We have been awarded the Austrian Eco Label and the EU Eco Label

We source our bread and pastries from Schroll Bakery in Neukirchen, and our ham, bacon and sausages from the local butchers, Rumpold & Schöppl. Cheese and yoghurt come from Pinzgau Milch, whilst fish come from the Trixl fish farm in Fieberbrunn.

The fresh milk is supplied to us by the Rohrerbauer family from Neukirchen, whilst the honey comes from our own beehive. We also serve homemade jams and delicious treats from our kitchen. Ingredients from our hotel’s own garden and nature’s bounty also feature in our dishes.

Among other things, we make our own breakfast jams, herb salts and blueberry and elderflower syrups. Hans-Peter grows the chillies for our chilli salt in his own greenhouse. Our range of home-made products also includes Swiss stone pine schnapps, blueberry gin, other syrups for the hotel bar and a selection of fine smoking blends.

You can purchase some of these special items here at the hotel – as a little gift or as a memento of your stay with us.

For new-build and renovation projects, we work in partnership with local tradespeople. Even in our day-to-day hotel operations, we rely on local partners wherever possible – from electricians to joiners. We value the personal interaction and the expertise of the people who help shape our organisation.

Our drinking water comes from the Blausee spring at the entrance to the Obersulzbachtal valley. You can enjoy it throughout the hotel straight from the tap. The water at Blausee is regularly tested by an accredited testing and inspection body.

We receive district heating from the Neukirchen heating plant. There, wood chips are used in biomass boilers to generate heat. In addition, we make use of the heat recovery from our cooling systems at the hotel: Heat generated during the cooling process is thus recovered for further use across the building.

With the Salzburg Verkehr Guest Mobility Ticket, you can use public transport throughout the province of Salzburg during your stay at no extra cost. The ticket is funded by the statutory mobility levy, which is charged in addition to the overnight stay tax. Please get in touch with us before you arrive so that we can arrange ticket collection and your pick-up in Neukirchen with you.

In the summer, you can also get the National Park Summer Card from us. It includes, amongst other things, journeys in participating ‘hiking taxis’. The routes included and the number of journeys included in each case depend on the offer from the individual partner. Please also note the operating hours and that you may need to book in advance.

There are four electric vehicle charging points available on our top car park level. There is a charge for charging; the cost is calculated based on the kilowatt-hours charged. If you have any questions about how to use it, our reception team will be happy to help.

With us, you can choose not to have your room cleaned up to three times a week. To do this, hang the wooden sign provided on your bedroom door. This way, our team will know that you don’t need your room cleaned on that day. 

For every room cleaning service skipped in this way, we will have a tree planted in collaboration with the "Trees for Tomorrow" charity. This is how we combine your decision with a joint planting initiative.

We wash some of our hotel linen on the premises. For any further laundry, we work in partnership with the Salesianer laundry in Leogang.

When it comes to your bath and hand towels, you decide for yourself when you need fresh ones: if you’d like to have them changed, just leave the used ones on the floor. If there are any towels you’d like to keep using, just hang them back up.

We work with Hagleitner from Zell am See on cleaning and hygiene. Among other things, we use touchless soap and paper dispensers in the hotel. Our washing machines and dishwashers are fitted with dosing systems that measure out the correct amount of detergent for each wash or washing-up cycle.

At our spa, we use products from ALPIN DERM and the Austrian family-run company STYX Naturcosmetic. Our range of skincare treatments is complemented by homemade scrubs made with herbs. Here, too, we combine our knowledge of herbs with the joy of doing things ourselves.

It is our team that makes our company what it is. That’s why, for us, the workplace also encompasses the life that surrounds it: if required, we can offer accommodation in our climbing lodge or in the neighbouring farmhouse. The lodge offers modern single rooms with en-suite bathrooms and kitchenettes.

Our team benefits also include meals, training courses and seminars, use of our Crystal and Garden SPA and participation in the hiking programme. With the WORK FOR US BonusCARD, our staff can enjoy additional discounts across the region.

We source our electricity from Lichtgenossenschaft Neukirchen eGen, which operates the local power grid and generates electricity in its own hydroelectric power plants. These include the Wiesbach II, Untersulzbach, Dürnbach and Sulzau power plants. According to the current electricity disclosure, the energy mix comes entirely from renewable sources, predominantly hydropower, with 100% of the guarantees of origin coming from Austria. This means that our electricity supply, too, remains closely connected to our region.
