A matter
of respect
We’ve been taking up our responsibility for generations
Fulfilling the highest standards has always been our guiding principle at the Posthotel Achenkirch. This naturally includes a commitment to a more forward-looking way of living. Often, it’s the small changes in our daily routines that make a big difference. We want to show that it’s not about sacrificing comfort, but about enriching life.
Regional and seasonal delights
We source milk, butter, veal, lamb and beef, as well as speck from neighbouring Alpine Farms. Our hotel’s golf course is home to our own fallow deer herd. Local farmers supply our cheese, and parts of our honey come from our own beehives - which also help protect regional agriculture. Fresh trout and char come straight from Lake Achensee, just a few metres away. Many delicacies are made in-house: selected jams, pasta, and our own signature bread. We also collaborate with the nearby Adler mill bakery. Our TCM restaurant primarily uses regional ingredients too. The crystal-clear drinking water comes directly from a nearby mountain spring.
Beauty comes from within
Cosmetic products with botanical extracts from “alpienne” provide beauty and wellbeing with a clear conscience.
We must understand that we need nature - not the other way around.
Energy and more
Since 2012, the energy for our heating and hot water has come from a woodchip biomass plant. A photovoltaic system also supplies a significant share of our electricity. By optimising our central heating and replacing a whirlpool system, we have further reduced our energy consumption. We use laundry and cleaning products mindfully, and you may opt out of daily room cleaning. Our staff live in low-energy buildings.
Taking a stand
We are supporters of the Alliance for Development and Climate. In 2023, the Alliance for Ethics in Business nominated us for the Austrian SDG Award - the country’s most significant sustainability recognition. We also participate in the EU-funded ETSM 2030 project, which aims to strengthen sustainability in tourism businesses.
