Falkensteiner Family Hotel Montafon sources certified electricity from renewable sources, additionally generates electricity from its own photovoltaic system, and relies on district heating as well as district cooling. The building is cooled using lake water from the Latschau reservoir.

Sustainability at Falkensteiner

Sustainability is a core part of our corporate strategy and our understanding of hospitality. At all our locations, we work on the same ecological focus areas: energy, water, biodiversity, waste and resources – as well as our role as host, employer and economic partner to the regions we operate in. We publish our progress in these areas – including our group-wide greenhouse gas balance – every year in the FMTG Sustainability Report (see below). How each property implements these focus areas depends individually on its location, building and region.

Austrian Ecolabel & EU Ecolabel

Falkensteiner Family Hotel Montafon is certified with the Austrian Ecolabel UZ 200 (accommodation and catering establishments) and the EU Ecolabel (AT/051/210). The entire hotel operation was audited and certified – from energy and water to waste, procurement and the kitchen.
