Sustainability plays an important role in Explorer Hotels
L'hôtel Explorer Ötztal est situé à Umhausen, au Tyrol. C'est le point de départ idéal pour des vacances actives dans les Alpes, avec des activités comme la randonnée, le VTT et le cyclisme sur route.
Passive house
A passive house hotel requires extremely little heating energy due to its excellent insulation and thermal insulation. It is currently the most energy-efficient and therefore most environmentally friendly construction method.
Het nieuwe Explorer Hotel Ötztal in Umhausen is het achtste hotel van de groep en is als passiefhuishotel klimaatneutraal.
Environment
To reduce emissions, all Explorer Hotels rely on sustainable energy sources such as solar power and biomass. Waste reduction and employee training also play an important role in ensuring sustainable use of the natural environment.
Het ontbijt wordt dagelijks geserveerd van 7.00 tot 10.30 uur en bestaat uit alles wat u nodig heeft, waaronder meer dan 70 voornamelijk regionale producten en gratis warme dranken.
Regionality
At the breakfast buffet, you'll find many regional products. Your bread is brought to you by the local baker. We also always try to work with partners who come from the region, whether for leisure activities, craftsmen, or laundry.
Sneeuw en plezier in de Explorer-regio's.
Social sustainability
The Explorer Hotels are open year-round, providing our Explorer Buddies with secure employment. Instead of having our own restaurant, we support local restaurants and are happy to give you tips on where to satisfy your hunger.
In de lounge van het Explorer Hotel in Karinthië kunt u niet alleen comfortabel zitten, maar ook genieten van het prachtige uitzicht op de groene omgeving.
Save electricity
To save energy, we don't have a minibar. Drinks are available at the bar, which you can take to your room or enjoy in the lounge. Energy-saving light bulbs, LEDs, and motion detectors help us reduce electricity consumption.
Nach einem ausgiebigen Skitag kannst du in der Finnischen Sauna bei Temperaturen von 80 bis 100℃ gemeinsam mit deinen Freunden entspannen und den Tag ausklingen lassen.
pool
To save energy and water, we deliberately decided against a pool. Around your Explorer Hotel, you'll find a variety of lakes, leisure pools, and thermal spas. In the afternoons, our Sport Spa is available for your rejuvenation.
Of het nu nat of droog is, uw afval is perfect opgeslagen.
