We think ahead

Philosophy

Environmental awareness
and sustainability

The unique location of our hotel is a gift, which we as hosts are well aware of. A responsible attitude to nature and the available resources is the order of the day for us. Sustainability is always taken into consideration when making business decisions, so that the unique nature of our holiday paradise is preserved for future generations. We wish to use our natural environment and improve and preserve for coming generations. “Sustainable” and “viable in the future” are our key words when it comes to business decisions and investments. We constantly endeavour to reconcile the well-being of our guests with the preservation of nature.

At the Hotel Schneider the combination of sustainability and luxury is convincing. We set great store by a high standard of quality and an affinity to nature and therefore promote a responsible use of resources. As our guest you of course enjoy the best.

We care

Because it is of great importance to us

We value excellent quality, being close to nature. Here is a small list of our sustainable measures which we have in place. In this way, we contribute to CO₂ savings and preserve our beautiful nature for future generations.

Did you know that our farm is almost 1,000 years old and is still farmed by us today?

Our farm

Our family’s farm is located in Radstadt at an altitude of 860m above sea level. The “Hintergottschallgut” is a grassland farm with dairy cows, associated forestry and alpine farming. In terms of cattle breeding, we are committed to the preservation of the old country breed, the “Pinzgau cattle”. Our hotel is supplied daily with fresh milk from our own farm. Most of the veal and beef also come from our farm. The animals spend the summer on the alpine pastures, where they eat rich alpine herbs and get plenty of exercise. Connoisseurs rave about the excellent quality of the finely marbled Pinzgauer Alpine beef

Sustainable measures

For our most recent investments and building projects, we have used, where possible, materials and services from companies in the surrounding area. Thus most of the rooms are furnished using local swiss pine and woolen materials from the region.

Hotel Schneider Wasser Nachhaltigkeit

Water

Our drinking water comes from a variety of local high alpine springs and is channeled into the waterpipe network untreated. Water throughout the whole hotel is of the highest drinking water quality. Our own spring is used to cool our refrigeration units. Water is piped through a cooling system and rechanneled back to the natural water cycle. Our sewage is centrally transported to Radstadt to a large purification plant to be filtered.

Energy

We have insulated our hotel according to the latest thermal insulation findings. Our energy source is the biomass heating plant built in 2004, which supplies 90 % of all businesses in Obertauern. The wood chips used are mainly supplied by regional farmers. We also supply the biomass heating plant from our own forest. Our electricity is supplied by the local electricity company Salzburg AG. Here eco-friendly electricity is produced by local hydropower.
