A landscape like the one in Obereggen deserves special attention. The impressive Dolomite mountains, wide meadows and dense forests create a unique natural environment that attracts visitors throughout the year. For us, it is important to manage our relationship with nature responsibly and contribute to the protection of these places through conscious decisions, concrete actions and continuous commitment.
How do we promote a responsible approach to the environment? Through concrete measures and initiatives developed over time. Since 2004, an internationally recognised ISO 14001-certified environmental management system has been in place in Obereggen.
Since 2007, fifteen accommodation facilities and the headquarters of Obereggen Latemar AG have been heated thanks to a district heating system powered by local biomass in the form of wood chips. The system was designed to support efficient resource use and contribute to reducing emissions. This solution allows the area to save around 500,000 litres of heating oil every year and reduce the related transport requirements.
The lift facilities, mountain and valley stations, as well as accommodation providers in the area, are supplied with electricity generated from hydropower. A well-organised network of ski buses and hiking buses connects the valley stations of the Obereggen ski area with the public transport network of South Tyrol, offering guests a convenient alternative to travelling by car.
Visitors wishing to reach higher altitudes can use the cable cars and lift facilities, which are open throughout the year. The Oberholz mountain hut, directly accessible by chairlift, is heated with geothermal energy and offers guests an experience connected to local products and regional flavours.
During winter, slope preparation is carried out using methods designed to reduce impacts on the soil and surrounding meadows as much as possible.
Many individual initiatives contribute over time to Obereggen’s commitment in the areas of environmental management, energy efficiency and responsible resource use. In this way, guests can experience the beauty of the Dolomites while showing respect and consideration for the natural environment around us.
The natural world around Obereggen is impressive - and it should stay that way. That is why people have been committed to protecting this unique landscape here and throughout the Eggental for decades.
The international award is an important step in making the Eggental valley fit for the future. This is our long-term goal: an Eggental whose integrity will be preserved for a long time to come for the people and animals who live here and for all those who visit us for their vacation.
