Responsible use of energy and resources
Sustainability at Hotel Kirchbühl
We are surrounded by the impressive natural beauty of the Bernese Oberland. We are committed to continuously strengthening our approach to sustainability. Throughout our hotel, we take small but meaningful steps to live up to our ecological responsibility.
Investments in building technology
In recent years, we have invested heavily in the control and modernisation of our building systems. Cooling, ventilation, and heating installations are state-of-the-art, saving valuable energy.
We've been using district heating from the local wood-fired power plant in Grindelwald since 2011.
We deliberately refrain from installing air conditioning in our hotel, as our location at 1,100 metres above sea level ensures cool night air for a pleasant sleeping climate.
Regional products
We maintain close personal contact with local farms, producers, and suppliers such as Eiger Milch and HR Gastro. Wherever possible, our alpine culinary programme is designed using regional products.
With Grindelwald’s alpine spring water from the Chlecki source and a butter-portioning machine at the buffet, we avoid excessive consumption of resources and unnecessary waste.
Public transport
Grindelwald is well connected to the international rail network. We offer a pick-up and drop-off service from and to the railway station for arriving and departing guests.
In winter, the ski bus stop is right in front of the hotel, and in summer the village bus stop is just a few minutes’ walk away. Enjoy the opportunity to leave your car in our car park while you set out on your adventures by other means of transport.
