Sustainability at Castel Fragsburg, the hotel in Merano

Our property is supported by a sustainable philosophy. To safeguard this philosophy, we have preserved the historical walls that give this property its original charm and tell tales of times in the distant past.

We took great care to extend and restore the original hunting lodge. The renovations look like they have always been there. For example, we used locally grown wood in the vintage building when converting the second and third floors back in 2015. Modern technologies, as a photovoltaic system, also found their way in, enabling us to take the next steps towards sustainability. Heat and cosiness, for example, are now guaranteed by large solar panels and a wood pellet heating system, which is fuelled entirely by local resources. The beauty of nature is not just revealed in the garden but is reflected in the beautiful things inside the building, as the flowers that adorn our halls come from the Fragsburg Soul Garden and the surrounding meadows. Equally, the herbs picked in the garden are an important component in our tinctures and ointments in the Healing Spa. Plastic packaging is just as out of place here as the in in-room amenities such as spa bags and toiletries which are normally found in spa hotel bathrooms.
