HOME STRENGTHS AND VALUES SUSTAINABILITY

We love and respect the place we live in

Respect for the environment is a key value for us and we don't just believe in it but we put it into practice every day. We build partnerships with eco-friendly service providers and suppliers with first rate professional standards who share our commitment to preserving the beauty of our glorious natural surroundings.

Zero emissions

Over half the energy needs of our building are met from zero-emissions sources. The roof of our tennis court houses some 200m2 of photovoltaic panels. Photovoltaic panels are the best system for generating clean electricity because they make use not only of that great light source that is the sun but also less fierce ones like moonlight. The energy generated in this way can be stored without any drop in power. The hotel roof is covered in solar panels for heating water.
Our heating is also zero-emissions, the necessary energy generated by a teleheating system serving the municipalities of Dobbiaco and San Candido. The power plant is one of the largest in Europe with nearly 20MW of power fed by woodchip biomass.
Good insulation of the whole building is of equal importance in order to avoid heat loss and maintain a pleasant constant temperature in all parts of the hotel.
Our recent addition of energy generated from biomass to the power produced by photovoltaic panels has enabled us to reduce the environmental impact of the Hotel Union.

Sustainable mobility: recharge columns for electric bikes and cars

Our care for and wish to protect the environment extends to the way we move around the area. In our garage you will find a type-two recharge station for electric cars and a battery charger for e-bikes.
We are happy to be able to offer you a holiday that isn't just enjoyable but also kind to the environment that we love so much.
