A short stay at the Hirben ... A deep breath ...
Are you one of us?
The forest is like a refuelling station: a place where human beings can top up their energy. Wood breathes, and fills us with vitality. And that is not only true of the forest but also of our hotel, which is mainly built of wood. Indeed, our ecological hotel in South Tyrol is not just a place to stay, but also a centre of well-being and a source of regeneration. It's also like a lucky charm for the superstitious... A place where you can always touch wood, as it's all around you! This natural setting is sure to leave a lasting impression on you.
FINE QUALITY WOOD
THROUGHOUT OUR HOTEL
Fir, larch, Swiss pine:
nature has given us something very precious.
We don't just talk the talk.
We put our ideas into practice. We've built an ecological hotel that respects the natural environment, and makes a real contribution in terms of sustainability. As we can't live without the natural world, we need to start living with it, and on its behalf.
Sustainability, both inside and out
Our environmentally sustainable building is made of high quality wood, and is a certified "CasaClima" with a Class A energy rating. The facade is in local larch. The main structure is made from South Tyrolean fir. The walls are not plastered. All the furnishings are made from natural materials. The pine-wood bedside tables give off a soothing aroma. Plastic is used as little as possible. We try to use only natural materials: for example, our heating system is fuelled by wood chips.
Sustainability is our byword
It's another way of looking at things, once you begin. Most of the ingredients we use in our kitchen are local, regional and seasonal, and many are also organic. Locally sourced.
