Italy: Cyprianerhof Dolomit Resort (Tires)
The Cyprianerhof Dolomit Resort hasmade it its goal to contribute to a sustainable and clean environment.
That is why, it has chosen the European eco-label. The Hotel works together with its employees and its
suppliers on a daily basis to comply with the 85 criteria of the European eco-label.
The Hotel asks its guests to remember to turn off the lights whenever
they leave their room. Guests should open the window completely for five
to ten minutes and then close it again. This ensures good air and helps to
save energy. Guests are asked to let the Hotel know, if they notice leaky
faucets, toilets, showers, etc. and not to throw any waste into the sewer.
Guests are asked to put the towels on the floor, if a change is desired.
The fewer the changes, the more the guest supports the Hotel to save
energy, water and detergents. Guests should not throw waste or hygienic
articles into the toilet, but use the intended waste container instead.
Furthermore, they should separate paper, glass, cans and biological
waste by throwing it into the respective container provided by the Hotel.
Guests should turn off the tap, if they don’t need any more water. By the
way: well a quarter of the water is used by toilets.
The Hiking Hotel Cyprianerhof is located in the heart of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage
Site, and is surrounded by woods, meadows and nature. The environment is the Hotel’s greatest asset
and therefore, its protection is of utmost importance to the Hotel. The Hotel’s efforts to conserve energy
as well as resources have been rewarded with the EU Eco-label award.
