Sustainability in the hotel industry
Reduce CO2 emissions – with every overnight stay
What we do today determines what the future will look like. That's why we would like to invite you to save CO2 together with us - even during your vacation! At our Mountain Hotels and Resorts, we are committed to various sustainable projects such as renewable energies, promoting the circular economy and increasing efficiency. Find out more on this page and how you too can save CO2 with every stay.

Achieving CO2-neutral stays
What does this mean anyway?
What lies behind the term CO2 neutrality, and why is it so important? CO2 neutrality signifies a crucial environmental objective, driven by the need to minimise the production of harmful carbon dioxide.
To foster a more ecologically sustainable future, efforts are directed at optimising everyday activities that generate significant CO2 emissions. This can entail either the complete elimination of CO2 generation or the offsetting of unavoidable emissions through climate protection initiatives. These compensation projects are designed to support nature and contribute to climate protection.
At the Mountain Hotels, achieving CO2 neutrality involves a deliberate commitment to employing only sustainable methods for energy generation and heating. Our heat and hot water production operate entirely CO2-neutral. Furthermore, we contribute to emission reduction upon your arrival by offering EV-charging stations for electric vehicles. This forms a sustainable foundation for your stay with us. Additionally, we establish goals that encompass further initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gases.
Measures & Projects
We want to counteract the environmental impact of our hotels and resorts with projects in the areas of energy efficiency, energy production and the environment. We have already been able to implement many projects in recent years.
Energy
We promote the production and use of renewable energy in our hotels and resorts. By investing in infrastructure, we are able to produce some of the electricity we need ourselves. No environmentally harmful substances are emitted during this electricity generation.
EFFICIENCY
Through energy efficiency projects, we create the basis for a lower CO2 footprint. By increasing efficiency, we save resources and look for more sustainable options. We have already implemented numerous efficiency projects in our companies in recent years.
ENVIRONMENT AND BIODIVERSITY
The great diversity of plant and vegetation species is what makes our alpine landscape so unique. In order to protect this in the long term, we are committed to environmental and biodiversity measures in the valley and on the mountain.
WHAT YOU CAN DO?
To make your stay as sustainable as possible, we need your help. We will give you suggestions that you can easily implement during your stay in Davos Klosters and in our accommodation.
Carbon-neutral heat generation and hot water production through pellet heating sourced exclusively from 100 % Swiss wood. Additionally, a portion of the electricity needs are met through the use of a photovoltaic system.
The hotel’s heat and hot water are generated using geothermal energy, while a substantial portion of the electricity comes from the photovoltaic system installed on the roof.
Heat and hot water are generated using a heat pump, and the photovoltaic system installed on the roof supplies a significant portion of the electricity.
In 2024, Joseph’s House transitioned to entirely carbon-neutral heat and hot water production using pellet heating sourced from 100 % Swiss wood. Additionally, a portion of the electricity needs are covered by the photovoltaic system.
