Voucher for more sustainability.
The Vulkanlandhotel Legenstein offers Vouchers, where you pay 999,00 Euro and get a Legenstein-Voucher amounting to 1.100,00 Euro for it. By buying this voucher investments in the Green Legenstein are supported. The vouchers made it possible to build a photovoltaic system in 2023, resulting in a 10% reduction in energy consumption in just one year.

Ecological Sustainability.
In this part of sustainability, the Vulkanlandhotel Legenstein leaves the green area in front of their hotel green and avoids building additional parking spaces. In addition, the Vulkanlandhotel Legenstein takes care of a mindful treatment of the environment.
Economic Sustainability.
In terms of economic sustainability the Vulkanlandhotel Legenstein worked together with regional handymen to fix the damages of floodings. In addition the new walls have been treated with pure lavender oil and tourmaline sand to ensure optimum energy balance. They have a balancing effect on the psyche and the soul.
Social Sustainability.
Social sustainability, on the other hand, is concerned with people. As a company and employer, we assume social responsibility towards our employees. For example, our managers took part in a series of training courses to further develop their skills as team leaders. We are also taking another important step to deepen our "family" value in our corporate philosophy. From 2024, our hotel will therefore be closed over the Christmas holidays. We are at work all year round, 7 days a week, with joy and passion. The support of the family plays a major role in this, which is why we would like to dedicate this special time of the year to them.

Bio & Bikehotel Steineggerhof (Italy – South Tyrol)
Lisa Resch
The motto of the Bio- & Bikehotel Steineggerhof: “Avoid what can be avoided. Reduce what cannot be avoided. Compensate for what cannot be reduced.” In 2019 the Bio- and Bikehotel Steineggerhof became the first climate positive hotel in South Tyrol. This means that they have not only compensated the 48 tons of CO2, through a climate protection project, but doubled that amount, so 96 tons of CO2. They were able to reduce their CO2 emissions in 2017, from 7,30 kg per night to 4,43 kg. By comparison, a conventional hotel measures an emission of over 40 kg per night! In the following we want to share a few of the inspiring climate measure of the Bio- & Bikehotel Steineggerhof!
