SUSTAINABILITY & SOCIAL
ENGAGEMENT
At Blatter’s Arosa Hotel, sustainability and social responsibility are of great importance. As a responsible hotel in Arosa, we are committed to actively engaging in areas we believe are particularly meaningful and future-oriented. Our efforts range from environmentally friendly initiatives and regional partnerships to social responsibility – all with the aim of promoting long-term sustainability and making a positive contribution to our region and our guests.
CURRENT INITIATIVES
Our modern photovoltaic system generates up to 100,000 kWh of solar power annually. This covers up to 25% of our electricity needs and saves tonnes of CO₂ – a tangible contribution to climate protection in Graubünden.
this corresponds to a saving of up to 24,000 liters of heating oil
and consequently reducing of around 60 tonnes of CO₂ emissions
to offset the same amount of CO₂ from the atmosphere in 10 years, we would need to plant at least 5,000 trees
Hydroelectricity
The remaining electricity comes entirely from hydropower supplied by Schanfigg Power Stations through Arosa Energie. As a result, our hotel is powered 100% by renewable electricity – clean, local, and sustainable.
Blatter’s Arosa Hotel is thus fully supplied with CO₂-neutral electricity from the region. Arosa Energie guarantees an annual volume (including reserves) of 470,000 kWh – ensuring consistent and reliable sustainability.
honey from our garden
For over 8 years, Blatter’s Arosa Hotel has hosted up to 12 bee colonies on our hotel grounds during the summer months. In collaboration with regional beekeepers Luzia and Markus Gurt, we produce genuine Arosa mountain honey – natural, untreated, and 100% homemade. The average of 320 kg of Arosa mountain honey produced covers our entire annual honey requirement, ensuring a truly exclusive experience for our guests.
In the summer months, you can watch the busy bees directly from the Grand Restaurant during breakfast – it can’t get more local than that.
Inclusion through Upcycling
We have enjoyed a long-standing partnership with ARGO, a Graubünden foundation supporting the integration of people with disabilities into the workforce.
Currently, in collaboration with the ARGO foundation, we produce our upcycled candles and the popular shoehorns.
Alongside various other projects, all proceeds from our «se non è vero» initiative are donated to ARGO.
Fairtrade Minibar
100% organic, Fairtrade, and supporting a good cause: the minibar in your room at Blatter’s Arosa Hotel features carefully selected products from Lemonaid and ChariTea – fairly traded, organic, and socially responsible. Our offering is rounded off with regional Passugger mineral water.
Enjoy your refreshments with a clear conscience – fair, local, and responsible.
medecins sans frontieres
Every glass of Arosa mountain spring water we serve supports the organisation Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders). A portion of our service charge goes directly to their emergency medical aid projects worldwide. In 2024, thanks to the support of our guests, we were able to donate CHF 5,000.
A small sip – with a big impact.
