Living and travelling responsibly.
A holiday that is Truly sustainable.
You may be wondering: How can I make my holiday truly sustainable? For us, sustainability is not just a trend; it is a way of life – both personally for our family and here at Holzleiten Nature Hideaway. We invite you to enjoy a restorative retreat that is as environmentally conscious as it is luxurious. Discover how we take responsibility for our Alpine surroundings and why your ecological footprint is often smaller during your stay with us than in your daily life at home. We are always happy to share our journey and answer any questions you may have.
What we do today decides what the world of tomorrow will look like.

#HOTEL
What does “eco-friendly” mean to us? For us, being an eco-friendly hotel is about much more than just organic food; it is our core promise to you. While you enjoy luxury and comfort, we work behind the scenes to ensure you can relax with a completely clear conscience. To us, a truly eco-friendly stay means:
- Holistic responsibility: We care deeply for the environment, our local flora and fauna, our dedicated team, and, above all, you as our guest.
- A transparent concept: Every department – from reception to the spa – operates according to a clear sustainability strategy.
- A sense of well-being: Thanks to our intelligent resource management, your carbon footprint during a holiday at Holzleiten is often lower than in your everyday life at home.
How do we achieve this? We invite you to discover our methods in the following sections.
#CULINARY
Can you taste sustainability? Our organic cuisine and short supply chains. Yes, you can truly taste the difference. We believe that well-being begins with what we eat. Our organic cuisine is honest, authentic, and focused on the best of what nature provides: regionality and seasonality.
Where does our food come from? We source our ingredients primarily from organic farms in our immediate region. We maintain long-standing partnerships and genuine friendships with our producers. For you, this means a “farm-to-table” experience with maximum freshness, superior quality, and a minimal environmental footprint. We don’t do long supply chains – just pure, honest quality from our neighbours.
#WELLNESS
Wellness with a clear conscience. Relaxation feels better when it’s responsible. At Hotel Holzleiten, we ensure your wellness experience respects the planet as much as your well-being.
- Pure ingredients: We use only certified organic products for all spa rituals and treatments.
- Local wisdom: Our signature “Alpenlarch” cosmetics line uses the natural strength of the larch tree to revitalize your skin naturally.
- Green energy: Our heated outdoor pool is a highlight of the Holzleiten experience – and it’s powered by 100% green energy. Enjoy the luxury of warm water with a minimal ecological footprint.
#TEAM
Social sustainability: Caring for our team and region. For us, sustainability is as much about people as it is about the environment. As a family-run business, we believe that a truly restorative atmosphere for our guests can only be created by a happy, fulfilled team.
- Mutual appreciation: Every role within our hotel is vital. We foster an environment of respect, promoting individual growth and providing heartfelt support to every team member.
- Strengthening the local community: We prioritize hiring locally to support the regional economy and eliminate long commutes. After all, “short distances” are just as important for people as they are for our produce.
#PARTNERS
Our commitment to the region is built on a foundation of mutual trust. Whether working with local craftsmen or suppliers of organic care products, we only partner with those who share our deep-seated values.
- Generations of loyalty: Many of our regional suppliers have been by our side for decades. We view these long-term relationships as the ultimate proof of integrity and shared success.
- Short distances, fair practices: When selecting partners, we prioritize short supply chains and fair working conditions for everyone involved. Because we know exactly where our products come from, you can be certain that your holiday positively supports our local community.
#ENERGY
How do we provide sustainable warmth and power? It is no secret that wellness hotels require a lot of energy. At Holzleiten, our goal is to provide this energy in the most environmentally responsible way possible, ensuring our guests enjoy total comfort without the environment paying the price.
- 100% green electricity: Our power is generated by our own extensive photovoltaic system and supplemented by 100% Tirolean hydropower. This ensures a carbon-neutral energy supply for your entire stay.
- Intelligent heating: For warmth and hot water, we rely on a future-oriented mix of biogas, geothermal heat pumps, and a solar thermal system.
- Closing the loop: We utilize state-of-the-art heat recovery from our cooling and ventilation systems to prevent energy waste. This comprehensive approach has made us a leading model for sustainable business in Tirol.
