Sustainability at Hotel Bergsonne Allgäu

The centrepiece of our energy efficiency is our own combined heat and power plant. Through cogeneration we produce heating and electricity simultaneously with an extremely high efficiency. This dual use lowers our primary energy demand by a third and reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 48 %. When you concentrate on your CoWorking HotDesk, you use electricity generated on site with maximum efficiency.

Our combined heat and power plant is complemented by a powerful photovoltaic system on the roof. The solar panels convert sunlight directly into electricity, covering a significant portion of our daily energy needs. On sunny days we produce more electricity than we consume – the surplus is fed back into the grid. Together with the CHP plant, the PV system forms a dual energy system that reduces fossil fuels to a minimum and further improves our carbon footprint.

Combined with our modern building envelope insulation and triple-glazed windows, we save more than 50 % of heating energy. Hotel Bergsonne Allgäu is thus a technologically leading retreat that proves comfort and climate protection go hand in hand.

In our kitchen, too, we rely on clarity and consistency. Our modern induction technology avoids unnecessary emissions and significantly reduces electricity consumption. Because we consciously forgo anonymous buffet queues and instead offer a set breakfast table, we radically minimise food waste. We buy whole animals from regional producers and process them according to the nose-to-tail principle. After a day on the bike trails, you enjoy regional products whose origin we personally know. You can taste this authenticity in every bite.

Protecting our resources also extends to water. With water-saving sanitary installations and fittings we reduce consumption to a minimum without sacrificing shower comfort. In our sauna we use efficient heat recovery systems to feed exhaust air energy back into the heating circuit. Even with dog holidays we pay attention to detail: cleaning is primarily done with hot steam, making chemical cleaning agents almost redundant and guaranteeing hygienic deep cleaning. As a barrier-free hotel, Bergsonne Allgäu is also designed so that short distances and smart controls further reduce operational energy use.

Our "Green Communication" is another building block of our Smart Retreat concept. We communicate with guests and suppliers almost exclusively digitally, saving vast amounts of paper. Whether you come to us as a solo traveler traveler or seek silence in the Lounge – you will find that sustainability is a quiet yet constant companion. We also promote sustainable personnel management with fair wages and healthy working conditions, because our team members are the ambassadors of our values.

We invite you to become part of this concept. Use Hotel Bergsonne Allgäu as your retreat that shows you how a conscious relationship with the world enhances the quality of your stay. Sustainability means taking responsibility so that future generations can experience the Ofterschwanger Horn and the Hörner chain in their full glory. If you seek a hotel in the Allgäu that lets actions speak instead of empty words, you have found your place at Bergsonne Allgäu. We look forward to showing you how relaxed and smart a break can be when your conscience stays clear.
