We are constantly optimising our processes to reduce the environmental impact of our hotel operations in terms of energy and water consumption, and to improve the transparency of our environmental performance. This is carried out as part of an audit by the independent certification committee of ibex fairstay.
There are many ways in which you too can help to save resources – thank you very much!
You have the option to waive room cleaning and thus save resources, in return you will receive CHF 5.00 per person per night refunded (from 2 nights).
To reduce the amount of waste, we have stopped providing disposable slippers in the spa bag and in the rooms since 2022. If required, you can purchase flip-flops with cork insoles from Schnarwiler for CHF 7.00 at reception.
Our printed materials are produced by local printers in Switzerland: short transport distances, FSC-certified paper, and production using chemical-free printing plates and EWO NaturStrom. In addition, the printers support climate protection projects run by ClimatePartner and carbon-connect through the purchase of CO₂ credits. Details: Küchler Druck and von Ah Druck.
We source more than half of our food from regional producers and retailers, as shown in our list of suppliers.
To avoid food waste, we forgo the lunch buffet and serve meals at seminars and large groups à la carte.
By planting a sapling on behalf of the Seehotel Wilerbad, we are taking part in the O-iO Forest Project, which was launched by «Oldtimer in Obwalden».
Upon request, terry towels in the rooms can be used multiple times; the instructions for handling can be found in the room.
Sauna and terry towels are deliberately provided in a spa basket to keep the consumption of terry linen within limits. Additional towels are always available upon request.
Our showers are equipped with a flow regulator, which helps to save water.
We have GRANDER Water in the house and can thus reduce the use of cleaning and washing agents (according to our own comparison models).
We adhere strictly to waste separation. Our organic waste is processed into biogas in Kägiswil by Naturaenergie AG.
Our spa building was constructed using Swiss timber. It was designed by Imhof Architekten AG of Sarnen and built by local companies, including Holzbautechnik Burch AG of Sarnen.
Wherever possible, LED bulbs are used.
We promote travel by public transport and offer you a free shuttle service to and from Sarnen station (for guests with overnight stays). In addition, we have installed two e-charging stations for electric cars at our location.
The outdoor and brine pools are partially heated with solar energy.
Our cosmetic line «comfort zone» is made from natural oils and fats. The processing is done with energy from renewable sources, and animal testing is completely avoided.
Our service aprons are made from recycled plastic bottles and our straws are compostable.
