Sustainability on holiday
FOR THE SAKE OF THE ENVIRONMENT

Our initiatives for more responsible resource use

We are committed to using our resources sparingly.
Regionally produced products, local delicacies from our own Fontis eco farm & partners and short supply chains are just as much a part of the concept as consistent recycling.

Long Stay – choosing to stay longer


The philosophy involves maximising the length of stay, which contributes to sustainability in every respect. It minimises arrivals and departures, reduces the consumption of resources and, finally, the increased length of stay can also reduce the number of visitors to popular excursion destinations and thus the impact on the local environment.

For this we reward you with a special discount price!

The good of the valley


Herbs, berries, flowers and lots of vegetables thrive in the large Fontis garden with cultivation areas and greenhouses. and come straight from the garden to your plate without having to be transported.

In line with this, there are also many small suppliers in the Gsieser Tal region who co-operate with the Hotel Quelle and offer the farm's own products.

Own water source

Benedikt Steinmair was granted the water licence for the Badl water spring above our hotel more than 70 years ago.
It’s not only our restaurant guests who greatly appreciate the water from our own spring – our pool and sauna area is also supplied with water from our private spring.

The purity of our water is tested annually. In addition to its excellent properties as drinking water, our spring water is particularly suitable for various baths in the Badl culture, as the water is very soothing and cleansing for the skin.
