Nature is our source of strength and safe haven. That’s why we’re doing all we can to protect and preserve it. As a certified Vitalpina hotel, we place importance on soft tourism, sustainability, and regionality, and share our passion for the mountains with our guests. And that’s not all: At our hotel, you’ll also drink the purest spring water from the Schwand spring.
We obtain 100% of our energy from South Tyrolean hydropower and have been heating our hotel for over 25 years with the help of a wood chip heating plant that uses waste from South Tyrolean agriculture. 90% of our lighting is equipped with modern LED lamps, motion detectors and time controls to reduce electricity consumption. And of course we also reduce our water consumption wherever possible.
With passion and dedication, Daniel devotes himself to breeding and caring for his animals, as well as producing traditional delicacies. His livestock includes around 60 Iberico pigs – a breed known for its finely marbled meat and distinctive flavor. The animal husbandry is complemented by Scottish Highland cattle and Black Angus cattle, which spend the entire year on the idyllic Fane Alm. Their hardy nature and relaxed lifestyle are a perfect match for the alpine environment.
Recently, Daniel has also been granted use of a listed barn in Vals – a place he has transformed into a true treasure trove. Inside are a smoking chamber and a storage room where speck, salami, and Kaminwurzen are aged. Using traditional methods and great patience, true delicacies are crafted here.
Daniel also cultivates a field where a variety of herbs and vegetables are grown for use in our kitchen.
Since 2021, we have been members of the Climate Neutrality Alliance together with all Vitalpina Hotels South Tyrol.
By joining this initiative, we aim to reduce our CO₂ emissions through concrete and measurable actions, set an example for sustainable tourism, and raise climate awareness among our guests and staff.
At Valserhof, actions always follow words – which is why our hotel has been certified for its sustainability efforts according to the internationally recognized standards of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC). A great source of pride for us!
