Since April 2024, the Walther and Steinbock hotels, including the spa and indoor pool, have been operating with two heating systems instead of three. In addition, an air/water heat pump (from an outside temperature of 4 degrees) and the waste heat from the hotels' refrigeration and deep-freeze warehouses are now also making a major contribution. All three buildings were connected underground, months of construction work were endured and 1.3 million Swiss francs were invested. The digging was worth it: thanks to the new heating system, we can save around 70,000 liters of heating oil and reduce our CO2 emissions by around 190,000 kg.

We work with regional and seasonal produce. Many products (pasta in the Trattoria, patisseries, beverages) are homemade or come from local suppliers (Glacier-Fondue, Engadine beers, Poschiavo organic tea, etc.) 

Three-quarters of the lighting has already been converted to LED. We use movement sensors and timer switches. PCs, printers and other devices are switched off when not in use. We use a current-spike regulator with defined current spikes.

We use the waste heat in the swimming pool to heat the water. The acoustic ceiling panels in the hotel bar absorb noise. Active participation in programmes to reduce CO2 emissions and improve energy efficiency. 

Soap in sustainable large dispenser bottles – 100% recyclable. Sustainable laundry management. Avoidance of plastic packaging.
