As part of myclimate \u00abCause We Care\u00bb, our guests can make a voluntary contribution to climate protection. Stoos Hotels then doubles this amount.<\/p>\n

Part of the contributions goes towards the \u00abSupport programme for standard fruit trees in Switzerland<\/a>\u00bb, run by the myclimate foundation together with Responsible Hotels of Switzerland<\/a>.

FALSTAFF TRAVEL AWARD 2025<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Stoos Lodge was named Switzerland\u2019s best hotel in the Sustainability & Innovation category by the Falstaff Travel Guide in 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regional value creation already played an important role during construction, with a large share of the building volume involving companies from the Canton of Schwyz and timber from the region. Today, the hotel uses the braking energy of the Stoos funicular as well as waste heat from various systems to generate heat on site.<\/p>\n

The award means a lot to us and motivates us to keep developing existing solutions and bringing new ideas into our daily operations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHotel Guide 2025 Awards\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cable car heats hotel \u2013 energy reimagined<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Energy supply was a key consideration from the very beginning when planning Stoos Lodge. Together with Stoos Railways, a solution was developed that makes direct use of the energy available on site.<\/p>\n

The Lodge uses braking energy from the world\u2019s steepest funicular as well as waste heat from various systems to generate heat and hot water. This reduces heating oil consumption by around 41,000 litres per year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWatch SRF's "10 vor 10" report\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Innovative energy concepts<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Energy has been an important topic at Wellness Hotel Stoos for decades. As early as 1980, a solar thermal system was installed on the roof of what is now the Wellness Hotel Stoos. Since then, the hotel has continued to develop the way it manages and uses energy.<\/p>\n

Since 2013, Wellness Hotel Stoos has worked with the Energy Agency of the Swiss Private Sector (EnAW). As part of this collaboration, energy use and CO\u2082 emissions are monitored and measures to improve energy efficiency are implemented.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Room cleaning as required<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Guests who do not need daily room cleaning can simply opt out. At Stoos Lodge, room cleaning is part of our modular \u00abonly pay for what you really need\u00bb<\/strong>\u00a0concept, so guests who choose not to add it benefit from a lower room rate.<\/p>\n

Skipping a cleaning service means less water, energy and cleaning products are used for that particular room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hygiene and cosmetic products<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

For selected hygiene products, we use items from the \u00abThink, act & live responsible\u00bb range. Depending on the product, materials include bamboo, biobased plastic made from corn starch and packaging made from stone paper.<\/p>\n

At Wellness Hotel Stoos, selected beauty and wellness treatments also use certified organic cosmetic products from Pharmos Natur\u00ae. These products are based on organic aloe vera juice instead of water and, according to the manufacturer, contain more than 100 natural ingredients. They are free from parabens and phenoxyethanol.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Education and training<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

People grow when they are given the opportunity to develop. That is why we support our employees in expanding their skills, deepening their knowledge and taking the next step in their careers, including through individual contributions towards external training.<\/p>\n

We also invest in young talent. Across six different apprenticeships, we give young people the chance to gain practical experience, take on responsibility and grow into their professional roles. With three hotels and a wide range of departments, there are plenty of opportunities to discover new paths and keep developing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Diversity<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

At Stoos Hotels, people with different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives work side by side. This diversity is part of everyday life and brings different ideas and viewpoints together.<\/p>\n

We aim to create a working environment shaped by respect, openness and mutual appreciation. Employees and guests are welcomed with the same respect, regardless of origin, gender, sexual orientation, age or religion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Modern working models create more flexibility for different life situations. Depending on the role and area of work, we offer a range of options, from working from home to a four-day week.<\/p>\n

This gives our employees more freedom to balance work and private life in a way that suits their situation. At the same time, it helps create an environment where people can bring energy and commitment to their work and to our guests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
