Valsana Hotel Arosa 

Sustainability doesn't mean sacrifice!

Sustainability can also be stylish! And the Valsana Hotel in Arosa proves the point convincingly. When the new hotel building was constructed in 2017, priority was given to the use of sustainable materials and products from Switzerland – and there was a special focus on a foresighted energy concept. This explains why the Valsana Hotel is equipped with a unique ice store for heat recovery, in combination with geothermal probes. The result: the entire hotel operates as a carbon-neutral facility – from check-in until check-out.

The hotel collaborates with myclimate to support various projects including an upland moor renaturing project in Neuchâtel and a mountain gorilla project in Rwanda. Hotel guests are also offered the opportunity to plant a tree as a contribution to ecological sustainability by making a voluntary donation when they reserve their accommodation online.

The hotel has largely eliminated paper: instead, tablets are used to communicate digitally. Guests sleep on «Elky Natürlich» mattresses, and special «mobile phone beds» reduce radiation near the bed. The hotel offers its guests four free charging stations for electric vehicles. It goes without saying that the restaurant is careful to purchase sustainable foods that originate from the region.
