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!
