Energy

There is more to come

That is why we are currently planning to build our own wood chipping plant. The wood used will come exclusively from our own forest and from the farmers on our plateau. This autonomous heat generation will be designed in such a way that we can also supply our agriculture and also the surrounding neighbours with this organic wood heat. Alternatively or in parallel, we will consider an expansion of the solar system or even new geothermal heating systems. Since 2022, we have been obtaining the firewood for ambient fireplaces in the hotel from our own forest. Furthermore, we mainly use natural materials in our renovations and investments (e.g. organic clay walls in the new natural rooms and suites).

Our source of power

The main source of our thermal energy is the Seefeld Bio-Ortswärme, a state-of-the-art wood chipping plant. A solar system serves as a supplementary power source for heating our swimming pools. That's all we need to make you feel comfortably warm everywhere. Our electricity is covered 100% by green electricity suppliers. These are producers who completely dispense with fossil fuels. Furthermore, the photovoltaic system on the hotel roof was expanded +150kw in spring 2023.

 

Photovoltaic expansion targets:

Staff house + 40kw (2024)

Agriculture +23kw (2024)

Car park +120kw (2024/2025)

Energy optimisation

In 2019, various energy saving & electricity management measures were implemented with the company Siemens, involving an investment of €700,000. Since 2020, we have been free of fossil fuels, with the exception of the gas line for the pizza oven.

A TOUCH OF TRADITION THAT LASTS!

OUR CLASSIC KEYS INSTEAD OF ELECTRONIC LOCKING SYSTEMS

At Hotel Klosterbräu*** we intentionally choose classic room keys over modern electronic locking systems. While this may seem nostalgic at first glance, for us it’s a sustainable decision – and a charming detail that perfectly fits with our 500-year history

Our guests pick up their keys personally at the reception – creating genuine connections and leaving room for personalized tips and a friendly chat. Unlike electronic systems that require hundreds of batteries per season, the classic key saves both energy and resources.

Tradition meets sustainability – the perfect combination in our eyes!

Dear Klosterbräu Family,

 

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to EVERYONE for the countless messages and the incredible outpouring of support. Please know that we are all safe.

 

At present, we are still in an orientation phase and in close coordination with authorities and partners. As difficult as it is for us to say: based on current information, we unfortunately will not be able to welcome you during the upcoming summer season. Our major goal, however, is to reopen the Klosterbräu at the beginning of December 2026. We are currently contacting all reservations that fall within this period. Thank you for your patience.

We are doing everything in our power—with full commitment, day by day—to make this possible. Over the course of the summer, we will be able to better assess whether this timeline can be met.

To stay closely connected with us, we warmly invite you to follow our latest updates via our WhatsApp channel, Instagram, Facebook, or by subscribing to our newsletter.

 

There is one thing we can say with full conviction:
Alongside the necessary reconstruction work, we will also bring our heartfelt projects to life—

including the expansion of the wellness area, a new natural swimming pond, new rooms, and the renovation of the existing spa.

Something new is being created—while at the same time preserving what lies at the very heart of the Klosterbräu.

Because we know:
What truly lives within the Klosterbräu cannot be taken by fire—rooted in its history, new beauty will rise from the ashes.

With warm regards

 

Your hosts
