Sustainable vacation

Sustainable mobility and tourism - how does that fit together? Quite simple: with the "HolidayPass Ahrntal", your ticket for public transport in South Tyrol! You will receive it upon arrival at our hotel and can then use the buses and regional trains of public transport throughout South Tyrol for the entire duration of your stay. Whether you want to go to the skiing area, shopping in town or to the starting point of a hiking tour, you can leave your car in our parking lot. Or you can leave it at home and choose a sustainable arrival by train and bus.

Here at the Alpine Life Hotel Anabel we pay very close attention to proper waste separation and the purchase of recycled and recyclable products. All garbage is separated by us and disposed of accordingly at the recycling center of our municipality. Where possible, we also try to reduce waste. You will notice this, for example, at our breakfast buffet, where we avoid unnecessary packaging as much as possible. This allows us to avoid a lot of unrecyclable waste and reduce our ecological footprint.

To make recycling work well, we also rely on your help. The following tips will help you avoid unrecyclable waste and preserve our environment in the best possible way:

• There is a trash can in the bathroom for residual waste. Everything that can be recycled belongs in the trash can in the bedroom - we will then take care of the proper separation and disposal.
• Do not dispose of garbage on the mountain (also not on huts, as it has to be transported back to the valley from there). - just bring it back with you and dispose of it at our hotel.
• Bring your own bathing slippers if possible.
• Bring your own care products (body lotion & co.) if possible. Small care products in hotel rooms cause a lot of waste, which can be easily avoided.

Sustainability is also very important to us in the kitchen and at the bar. That's why we make sure to source our food and beverages as locally as possible and avoid unnecessary packaging. In this way, we reduce transport routes, waste and promote small cycles as well as local agriculture. You will notice this, for example, at our breakfast buffet, in the wine and beverage list or on our menu at dinner.

There we always offer vegetarian dishes too. These are much more sustainable than dishes containing meat or fish, both in terms of CO² emissions and the consumption of resources such as water or energy, as well as the amount of land needed for cultivation.

So to become more sustainable, we should reduce our meat consumption. This also has health benefits, for example, the DGE recommends a consumption of 300 to a maximum of 600 grams of meat per week. By comparison, in 2020, the average european citizen's meat consumption was around 1.15 kilograms per week.
