I am me
plus the environment. 
If I don't preserve this last one
I don't preserve my-self.  

José Ortega y Gasset

RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT 

The respect and care for the environment is a value that the Hotel Union totally shares in a concrete way.
Due to this reason we decided to invest in the production of clean energy, trying to render the hotel an eco-sustainable structure in order to preserve at the most the wonderful scenario of the Dolomites. 

The roof of the Hotel is also covered with solar panels providing the heat  water and the entire surface of the roof (ca. 200 square meters) of the tenniscourt is covered with photovoltaic panels. Even the heating is at zero emissions.

The necessary energy and heat comes from a district heating power plant that serves the towns of Dobbiaco and San Candido. The facility is one of the biggest in europe, with a power of almost 20 Megawatts and it works with biomass wood chips.

The thermic isolation of the entire structure is as much important because avoids heat's dispersion and at the same time maintains a constant and plesant temperature in all the area of the Hotel. During this years due to the integration of the energy deriving from the biomass with that produced by the photovoltaic cells we were able to signifiantly reduce the environmental imprint of the Hotel Union.

An engagement that is repayed everday by the satisfaction of our guests that are glad to take part at this project. This initiative became real only thanks to a communion of intents and sinergies with all our service and supplying partners of high professionality and sensibility whom during the time we referred to and we still actively collaborate to. 

This enthusiasm pushes us to continue to follow this direction. A decision that finds his confirmation every time we look at those unique monuntains.
