Sustainability at Schenna Resort

Climate change, environmental protection, and the preservation of habitats are becoming increasingly important in the tourism industry. At the Schenna Resort, "sustainability" is very important to us. We aim to set a good example in the hospitality sector by implementing effective measures to reduce energy consumption, waste, and plastic use. Our commitment to environmental protection and sustainability is reflected in every aspect of your stay, from energy efficiency to the careful selection of ecological products. In our sustainable hotel in South Tyrol, you will experience a vacation that benefits not only your body and mind but also the environment.
