Your sustainable holiday at Golm

Why are sustainability goals so important for us at Golm? The answer is simple: Because if we don’t actively begin to fight climate change, we will be faced with increased temperatures and fewer days of frost in winter. What’s more, there will be less snow and more extreme weather events such as periods of heavy rainfall or droughts. This will have severe effects on our region’s wildlife – and, of course, on the way we will be able to spend summer and winter holidays in the mountains in the future.

At first sight, the snow beneath your skis when you swoosh down the stunning slopes of Golm may look like just that: snow. However, in reality it’s the result of a thought-out snow management system. It involves three areas:  

• slope construction and grooming
• installation and management of snow cannons for artificial snow-making
• snow depth measurement and regulation

The fascinating thing about it: Thanks to our detailed snow forecast, we know how much snow there is at any given time at any location in the ski resort. This helps our snow cat drivers and artificial snow-making systems to work in a particularly efficient way. Because our snow cannons only produce snow where it is needed – so that you can enjoy every ride to the fullest.

The local hotels and restaurants also contribute to environmental protection – for instance, by …

• … being a member of the bewusstmontafon initiative.
• … being certified with the AMA quality seal.
• … using reusable packaging and bulk packs instead of plastic.
• … using biodegradable detergents carrying the EU eco label.
• … offering an increasing number of vegan and vegetarian dishes. 
• … working with local suppliers.

Talking about local suppliers and products: Panoramarestaurant Grüneck is a pioneer in terms of sustainability, offering a large selection of regional, healthy dishes as well as a lovely sun terrace and, of course, splendid views.

Ahead of its time: The workplace of the future is sustainable, flexible and resource-saving. And that’s just what we want to offer our team members, too. That’s why we decided to offer our employees a number of benefits that are also beneficial to the environment:

• introduction of the 4-day week
• private use of electric company cars plus charging facilities for private electric cars on the company premises
• sustainable business travels by train or electric car
• regional, fresh lunch at our company restaurant
• modern, resource-saving workstations

By the way: We also consider our sustainability goals when it comes to events and company festivities – because we love nature!
