Facts & Figures

FOR OUR GUESTS & OUR ENVIRONMENT

An overnight stay at Gasthof Schnabl consumes only 6.70 kg of CO2 – an absolute record among international hotels and corresponds to the highest climate efficiency class A.

Offsetting by purchasing CO2 certificates, for example, for reforestation projects in the rainforest would only cost us approximately €300. However, we consciously avoid "greenwashing" and instead strive to maintain or even improve our low CO2 emissions.

Side note: 8 kg CO2 comply with the production of around 5 litre milk, 700g beef or 30 km driven by car (with the consumption of 6l/100km).

For years, we have been actively working to reduce our CO2 emissions:

  • 100% green electricity, our own hydroelectric power plant
  • Wood chip heatingInstalling additional air/heating pumps for max. reuse of energy
  • Air-source heat pump
  • Our own drinking water supply
  • Use of regional products
  • Use of recycled paper
  • All laundry services in-house
  • Sustainable shower products
  • Electric car

 

Climate protection starts on a small scale – everyone can contribute – we do!
