Sustainability
We have made it our mission to have a smaller impact on the environment and invest time and effort in making the hotel**** Gamsleiten more sustainable without you having to sacrifice comfort.
In order to achieve our sustainability goals, we have taken a number of environmentally friendly measures. An important pillar of our sustainability strategy is the reduction of our energy consumption.
- LED lamps in the building
- Motion detectors in outdoor and indoor areas
- No minibars, kettles and coffee machines in the hotel rooms
As part of the 2022 refurbishment, the entire hotel was re-insulated to save energy and prevent heat loss.
We have our own electric charging station for your electric car at the hotel.

As we are a member of HOGAST, we can gain a competitive advantage and fulfil the needs of our guests more quickly. The online ordering platform is constantly being further developed and food from a wide variety of areas (organic, Fairtrade, Austrian Ecolabel) can be called up at the touch of a button. Among other things, this enables us to obtain regional and local food.
We source our meat from the Karnerta company in Carinthia, where we were most impressed by the long tradition of the butchers and the consistent processing of Austrian raw materials. You will also find vegetarian dishes in our evening menu.
We obtain our fruit and vegetables from the Robitsch company in Klagenfurt, which also has its own fields there. We also have our own mushroom farm in Brückl in Carinthia.
Our coffee supplier Julius Meinl guarantees its coffee importers and roasters fair payment for their work.
The large selection of open teas and teas from the bag is guaranteed by the Austrian company Sonnentor, which is 100% certified organic.
As we not only want to be more economical and environmentally friendly on the whole, we start with the breakfast buffet in the morning.
You will no longer find small portion packs here. Butter, Nutella and jam can be portioned by yourself, so you also help us to save unnecessary waste. We get our honey directly from the Lungau region and we also have our own honey from bees in Obertauern.
Plastic drinking straws have been replaced by alternatives.

All our beds are equipped with new mattresses from Elastica in Salzburg.
The Hotel **** Gamsleiten was one of the first businesses in Obertauern to be connected to the district heating plant. District heating is clean heat that produces no dust or odours.
The district heating network is eight kilometres long and supplies the majority of businesses in Obertauern. By using district heating, Obertauern makes a significant contribution to environmental protection: around 35,000 cubic metres of local biomass are used to generate heat every year. This saves 6.5 million kilograms of CO2 compared to heating oil. This amount corresponds to the CO2 emissions of around 1,200 trips around the world by a mid-range car.
To make a further contribution to environmental protection, we have accommodation for our employees in our building and on the opposite side of the road. This means that our most valuable helpers don’t have to get into a car, and together we save unnecessary CO2.
