How does SnowTrex define sustainable accommodation and what criteria are used to select it?

SnowTrex defines sustainable accommodation as accommodation that actively takes measures to protect the environment and practises responsible use of resources. The criteria for selecting sustainable accommodation are designed to ensure a high level of environmental responsibility while promoting positive effects for the environment and local community. The following criteria are taken into account when selecting sustainable accommodation:

1. Basic requirement:Any accommodation we classify as sustainable must demonstrate at least one form of renewable energy use or implement significant energy efficiency measures. This forms the basis for reducing the accommodation's ecological footprint.

2. Additional criteria: In addition to the basic requirement, the accommodation must fulfil at least one of the following criteria:

Existence of a recognised environmental certification.

Verifiable waste reduction and recycling measures.

Active support of local communities and use of local or organic products

Transparent communication and reporting on sustainability efforts and performance.

3. Ideal additional criteria: SnowTrex favours accommodations that pursue long-term sustainability goals, such as climate neutrality by 2030, and have concrete plans to achieve these goals. SnowTrex also recognises initiatives that go beyond the basic requirements, such as measures to protect biodiversity or water conservation measures.

Through this careful selection, SnowTrex ensures that the hotels and resorts listed under the "sustainable accommodation" filter demonstrate a comprehensive commitment to sustainability. Our customers can therefore be sure that their choice of accommodation makes a significant contribution to environmental protection.

Why do you need sustainable hotels?

By choosing a sustainable hotel, you are contributing to a more environmentally and climate-friendly holiday. This is because the accommodation promotes environmentally friendly practices such as energy efficiency, waste minimisation and the use of renewable resources. They support local communities, protect the environment in their region and often offer healthy, local cuisine. It is also important for hotels and guests to act sustainably so that future generations can also enjoy their holidays here.

Is sustainable skiing possible?

Of course, like many other holiday activities, skiing causes a certain amount of CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, it is possible to make your own ski holiday more sustainable by taking certain measures. For example, the ecological footprint can be reduced by choosing environmentally friendly ski resorts, using public transport when travelling to and from the resort or staying in sustainable hotels. With small changes and conscious action, winter sports enthusiasts can also make a direct contribution to minimising their impact on the environment and enjoy a sustainable ski holiday.
