Sustainable holidays in the Salzburger Land
Environment awarness in Zell am See
Environmental Award for the Romantikhotel Zell am See!
Our commitment to the environment was recently recognized with an award: the Romantikhotel Zell am See received the “umweltblatt” award for its ongoing efforts in the field of environmental protection and sustainability. As a model green business, we already implement environmental awareness in many areas.
E-Mobility and Car-Free Holidays
Of course, our guests also benefit from these environmentally friendly measures. Guests with electric cars can use our in-house charging station, which is powered entirely by electricity from renewable energy sources. Your e-bike or e-mountain bike can also be conveniently charged here for your next tour. If you would like to head out spontaneously, you can simply rent one of our e-bikes. This way you can travel CO2-neutral even while on holiday!
When it comes to mobility, the Zell am See Card also ensures you are well taken care of. Give your car a break during your vacation and travel free of charge on public transport with the Mobility Ticket. The nearest bus stop is only a short walk from the hotel.
Our Energy Concept
True to our motto – rooted while keeping pace with the times – it is important to us to stay true to our roots while also embracing modern developments. For us, this means considering and continually following technological advances in the sensible use of resources. Environmental protection and sustainability are topics close to the hearts of our generations.
What are we already contributing?
We use the power of the sun.
For example, with our photovoltaic system on the south-facing roof of our main building, which has an output of 20 kW, we cover around 10% of the hotel’s energy demand.
We use the power of the sun for many of our environmentally conscious systems in the hotel:
- Photovoltaic system
- Central cooling system with heat recovery
- Fresh air cooling of the restaurants using groundwater
- Our charging stations for electric cars are also powered by electricity from 100% renewable energy sources.
Sustainability in the hotel
Together we protect our environment.
In addition to our energy concept, we also pay attention to sustainability in
the hotel.
Cleanliness is as important to us as the proper disposal of
garbage.
That's why we have both in the hotel and in our private house a
waste separation concept for paper, plastic, glass,
metal, bio and residual waste.
Furthermore, we promoted the
greening of our flat roofs and creation of roof terraces.
In the hotel, we use either daylight for lighting or use LED technology.
We are very proud, that our hotel is featured since many years with the Austrian Ecolabel.
Green Bonus
We reward your environmental awareness.
If you are sustainable and responsible with our environment you are preferred by us!
What you receive with the "Green Bonus": our shuttle bus will pick you up from the train station Zell am See free of charge, upon reservation and availability!
For these reasons, and because the environment is very important to us, we introduced the Guest Mobility Ticket Salzburg. It enables you to use ALL forms of public transport for free – from the train to the postbus and Pinzgau local railway – for the duration of your holiday. (Excludes steam trains and special trains) The Guest Mobility Ticket Salzburg is included in your stay and is valid both on the day of your arrival and on the day of your departure. Your car may remain parked in the free outdoor parking area or in the garage for an additional fee.
Climate-friendly Mobility
100% green electricity
One day, we hope that any vehicle,
whether scooter, car or plane can be powered using only
electricity.

also involved:
