Sustainability

  • Under the project title "Echt nachhaltig", corresponding measures have been bundled in the Seefeld region since spring 2020.
  • Regionales Plateaufrühstück: Participating businesses have been able to purchase regionally produced products for a sustainable Plateau Breakfast since spring 2020.
  • Plateau-Pioniere: Eight Plateau lead businesses analysed their direct and indirect emissions and submitted a corresponding reduction plan for the next 5-10 years to meet climate targets.
  • TeamCard Region Seefeld: Since the end of 2022, the TeamCard employee card has been an additional building block for regional employer branding. Through bundled inclusive services, the region offers its employees an excellent opportunity to get to know the diversity of the region at very low cost.
  • Plateau product: Since the end of 2021, it has been possible to purchase plateau products made by regional businesses in our information offices and in the online shop. Of course, the wooden Regio shelves in the information offices were also made by local carpenters.
  • Mountain spring water: Through various on- and offline initiatives, we want to sensitise our guests and businesses to the fact that crystal-clear mountain spring water from the tap is a real privilege. Together with the Tirol Tourist Board, we created our own carafes and glasses with regional branding in order to serve the water in a correspondingly appealing way.
  • CleanUp Plateau Challenge: An annual large-scale clean-up campaign to successfully keep our region clean. Guests and locals alike receive rubbish bags and tongs from the TVB, and for every 5kg of rubbish collected they receive a restaurant voucher for the Seefeld region (win-win!).
  • Eco-label: Certification with the "Eco-label for Destinations" according to criteria catalogue UZ 82 Tourism Destinations. Together with 6 Tyrolean pilot regions and support from a LEADER project, we have been preparing intensively for the environmental certification since the beginning of 2022.
  • Electric vehicle fleet: All service vehicles at the TVB headquarters in Leutasch have been completely converted to e-technology since 2020. When new vehicles are purchased for the building yard fleet, the respective technology is also critically assessed here and, in the best case, converted to sustainable e-technology.
  • Mobility cooperations: Through ongoing cooperation with DB/ÖBB/VVT, public travel has been continuously improved and promoted since 2020.
  • Optimise public transport network: From summer 2023, the comprehensive new transport concept in the Region Seefeld will come into force – with much higher frequencies, more connections and perfect coordination with train journey times.
  • Karwendel Nature Park partnership: Austria's largest nature park is a Natura 2000 protected area of European significance on our region's doorstep – and our long-standing partner. The cooperation ranges from nature tours and visitor guidance concepts to the new Holzerhütte Museum and the Scharnitz Nature Park Info Centre. With the new nature park designer project for businesses, this cooperation is to be further strengthened. In spring 2020, for example, the protected area was expanded to include the impressive Arnspitzgruppe.
