GreenSign Certification
We are proud! In April 2025, the Elldus Resort successfully completed the GreenSign audit, achieving a score of 85 %. The renowned GreenSign-Zertifizierung certification recognises our commitment to sustainability in the areas of environment, social responsibility, and economic practices. We are delighted by this award, which honours our consistent efforts towards responsible and future-oriented tourism.
Energy from Own Resources
CHPs
Our two combined heat and power units generate heat and electricity directly on site – efficiently, demand-driven, and used predominantly for our own consumption.
Travel Sustainably
Green Bonus
We reward environmentally friendly travel with attractive extras – from a complimentary electric vehicle charging session to a free shuttle service.
Coffee with milk, no Waste
"Rehbraun"
Our “Rehbraun” coffee is served with a splash of fresh milk – allowing us to consciously avoid individually packaged condensed milk.
Powered by the Sun
Photovoltaics
With our photovoltaic sys-
tems on the riding hall and main building, we generate clean electricity directly on site, reducing environmental impact & saving CO₂.
Sustainably Refurbished
Apartments
During renovations, we focus on regional materials and sustainable solutions. Existing furniture is given a modern upgrade instead of being completely replaced.
Optimal Storage
First In, First Out
We follow the “First In, First Out” principle.
This ensures supplies are used in time, waste is minimised, and food is used sustainably.
Bee Protection & Apitherapy
Buzzing Helpers
Our bees thrive behind the spa and provide fresh honey during the summer. At the same time, we actively contribute to the pre-
servation of bee populations.
Domestic Water & Heat Pump
For our Baby House
A 28,000-litre domestic water tank in the play barn area provides heating energy for the new Baby House. Efficient, sustainable, and smart.
Elldus Lunch Pack
Rethought
Our lunch bags are handed out empty – so guests can assemble their favourite foods themselves, reducing packaging waste.
Sustainably Certified
Familotel 2023
In 2023, we received the Familotel Sustainability Seal, taking another step towards a sustainable future.
Shaping the Future
Supporting Talents
We support young talents in winter sports and vocational training – and our guests can actively contribute with a small donation.
Fips’ Nature Hero Bag
Little Heroes
Small actions, big impact: With Fips’ Nature Hero Bag, everyone becomes an environmental hero. Simply collect and dispose of waste correctly.
Use Every Part of Veggies
Leaf to Root
At our resort, we use all parts of the vegetables, from leaves to roots, reducing waste while maintaining full flavour.
Reduce Packaging
Barrel Margarine
With our electric butter dispenser and margarine served from a wooden barrel, we save on packaging waste while offering our guests fresh butter at the push of a button.
Paper & Materials
Green Printing
We print on sustainable paper and use environmentally friendly materials to consciously conserve resources.
Efficient Radiators
Low-Temperature Heating
Our apartments use a low-temperature heating system – efficient, environmentally friendly, and comfortable for our guests.
