Sustainably labelled
Since August 2024, Das Trausee - Das Hotel zum See has been awarded the Austrian Ecolabel and the EU Ecolabel.
As hoteliers, we not only have a great responsibility towards our employees, but also want to organise our daily work in terms of sustainability. We have sat down with a consultant over the last few years and discussed the topic in detail with our team. A truly big word, the content of which we only realised during numerous workshops and preparations for the eco-labels. All areas are listed in detail in the sustainability report (on the submission and successful receipt of the eco-labels): From A for waste management or arrival to our sustainability in all areas of the culinary arts to Z for room cleaning and thus the Green Option.
