- 2 electric charging stations for your electric car
- Energy recycling, e.g. using integrated combined cooling generators

- Tap water = drinking water, as our drinking water often has better quality attributes than bottled water. Our tap water is energised using the Johann Grander water treatment method
Environmental action and sustainability
are important to us
Everyone is talking about environmental action and sustainability. We take this issue very seriously too. Preserving ecological diversity, using resources responsibly and thinking of our future generations. These are issues that concern each and every one of us. Even lots of small deeds can have a positive impact on the environment.
- Environmentally friendly cleaning of rooms with ecological cleaning products
- Coordinated hygiene concept to avoid wasting cleaning products.
- Refillable dispensers in the bathroom
- Effective ventilation and heating
- Use of LED lights reduces power consumption
- Option to voluntarily do without daily housekeeping
We make a significant contribution to sustainability by using special ecological cleaning products. The large packages are returned to the supply company. Furthermore, we implement the following measures in our kitchen:
- Purchasing and working together with regional suppliers
- Using all food
- Purchasing reusable packaging
- Using the Swiss System – the innovative cooking system
- Heat recovery system for cooling systems
- Only cleaning the dishes in a full dishwasher; saving energy and cleaning products
In the restaurant, we attach particular importance to avoiding the use of individual packaging. Furthermore, we are already implementing essential points on waste prevention.
- Using reusable containers for jam, honey and Nutella
- Guests cutting butter, cheese and bread themselves
- Cereals and yoghurt from dispensers or bowls at the buffet
- Fruit juices on tap or from dispensers
- Making egg dishes to order; to avoid making too much
- Coffee selection from the fully automatic coffee machine
- Coffee cream from the jug
- Making fresh baby cereals
In childcare, too, we make sure we teach children about environmental action and sustainability.
- Upcycling – arts and crafts competitions using packaging materials
- Forest adventure days – getting to know nature
Wir haben noch viel vor
Familotel steht für Vielfalt und Einzigartigkeit. Wir sind keine Kette, kein Franchise-Modell, sondern eine Kooperation von Individualisten. Unsere Gastgeberfamilien sind so unterschiedlich wie unsere Gäste. Deshalben wollen wir mehr tun.
Gesetzliche und ethische Anforderungen sind für uns Minimum, nicht Maximum. Alle Prinzipien, die zum Wert „verantwortungsvoll“ gehören, dienen uns als Kompass. Wir leben das Paradigma der Kooperation, denn nur zusammen sind wir stark.
Bevor ein Familotel das begehrte Nachhaltigkeitssiegel erhält, muss es sich einer umfassenden Überprüfung unterziehen. Unser Prüfkatalog beinhaltet 307 Kriterien und wurde auf Basis anerkannter Rahmenwerke, wie z. B. ISO 14001 oder ISO 26000 entwickelt. Bisher haben 35 Familotels das Siegel erhalten. Das entspricht einer Quote von 56 % (Stand 12/22).
