Gourmet hotel
The alpine star
Indulgence that inspires. Serenity that lasts.

This describes the Alpenstern as it is, as it appears. A retreat at the top of the Damüls mountains that promises relaxation, enjoyment and genuine hospitality. Casual and relaxed, yet stylish. A serious promise that you can always keep. When you make contact with the Alpenstern team, when you savour the excellent food, when you take a look at the exquisite wine list, when you stay in the stylish rooms ...

Naturally grown

In the 1980s, Bertram Bischof turned the former mountain farm with a few guest rooms into something special with the first floor showers in the whole village. Later, showers were added in every room and finally the Haide guesthouse was built with even more rooms. In 1997, it was converted into a four-star hotel and renamed the Alpenstern. In 2019, work began on the conversion/new construction of the Alpenstern as you can see it today. And even more is planned.

Energy efficiency

Which you can feel - but not see

A central element of our sustainability strategy is our energy concept. The Alpenstern is heated with heat from the local wood chip plant - sustainable, regional and with short transport routes. Heat recovery prevents energy losses. Our LED lighting with time and motion control ensures that light is only switched on when it is needed. And because we think ahead: soon, solar panels to generate hot water for our pool will complement our green approach.

Ski-In & Ski-Out

It could hardly be more sustainable

Thanks to our ski-in & ski-out location, you can start your winter sports fun directly from the hotel - no car, no transfers. Simply get out of the hotel and into the adventure. This not only reduces traffic, but also emissions.

Sustainability in detail

From the bread basket to waste separation

For us, sustainability doesn't stop at the hotel door. In our everyday lives, we make sure we use resources sparingly: we send organic waste to a biogas plant, where it is used to generate environmentally friendly electricity. We pass on leftover bread and suitable leftovers to farms in the region - as valuable animal feed instead of wasting food.

Wood

At the heart of our hotel

You can feel nature in every corner of the Alpenstern. We have built as much as possible with regional brown ash and constructed the rooms in a modular system - resource-saving and efficient. The wood brings warmth, cosiness and a healthy indoor climate - a real piece of the Alps you can touch.

Digitisation

We are also focussing on sustainability in the background: many of our internal processes have been converted to digital processes - from administration to guest communication. Less paper means less waste and more efficiency.
