Sleep in heavenly peace -
and with a clear conscience! It was written in those days: «...because there was no room for them in the inn.» How would we celebrate Christmas nowadays, if Mary and Joseph had found a room in a 5-star hotel 2000 years ago? The accommodation we choose is a symbol for a particular life style, today as well as at that time. We can dedicate ourselves to sustainable tourism when we look for our next holiday destination. The Swiss «Steinbock-Label» facilitates the choice. The ibex: unwavering, tireless, powerful
He is a symbol for nature, and - as the animal of the «Steinbock-Label» - he represents sustainability in accommodation. An enterprise can be economically successful, offer best quality services and fulfil the demands of sustainability at the same time. The "Steinbock-Label" awards hotels with up to five ibexes, if they take an above-average responsibility in the following five fields: management, profitability, environment, social aspects and regional culture. This can be a five star hotel as well as a youth hostel.
:: Philosophy of the Swiss «Steinbock-Label» Examples for sustainable luxury holidays in the Swiss Alps
Three examples demonstrate how great expectations can be combined with sustainable holidays: You will find "modern design and natural materials, lifestyle and nostalgia" in the Hotel Schweizerhof Lenzerheide. "Experience a unique and sustainable vacation on high level!" in the Ferienart Resort & Spa Saas-Fee. The Swiss hotel group Sunstar offers you "Alpine Emotions" in 5 first-class hotels in the canton of Grison and 2 in the Bernese Alpine region. For any desire and any budget
Whether you are looking for a modern seminar hotel or a cosy family hotel, a reasonable hostel, a 3- or a 5-star hotel in Switzerland: Watch out for the ibexes!
