Our philosophy

«As a hotel situated in the heart of the Grisons mountains, we are committed to treating our resources and nature with respect, focusing in particular on responsible consumption, sustainable production and the conscious use of energy. The results we have achieved thus far motivate us to continue our active commitment to nature and sustainability.»

Our commitment...

...within our own four walls

At Hotel Grischa, reducing emissions and conserving natural resources are a top priority. Reclaimed materials and materials from the local area were even used during construction of the hotel.

Our ingenious lighting concept, as well as helping promote your well-being, saves up to 80-90% power through the use of state-of-the-art LED technology.

Let there
be light

The solar thermal system on our roof and the connected heat pump help us save approximately 20,000 litres of heating oil every year, covering around 60% of our heating requirements.

Here comes
the sun

With our state-of-the-art key card key system, all unnecessary power sources are switched off shortly after the room has been vacated.

We’ve got
the key(s)

We can achieve additional energy savings by lowering the room temperature in unoccupied rooms and public areas to a minimum via the central control system.

Smart
temperature
regulation

Even during the construction of the hotel in 2010, a focus was placed on sourcing materials from the local region. We made use of recycled timber from old stables, for example, and sourced granite from the Bernina region.

Using
local

...to the culinary arts

Why go further afield when the good stuff is right here? Sourcing locally is extremely important to us.

Our restaurants source only the best regional products from local producers. For ingredients that do not grow in the region, we turn to sustainable production.

Rooted
in the region

Our extensive wine list of over 180 wines includes only fine vintages from around Europe, thus mostly avoiding long transit distances.

Delicious
wines without
the mileage

In our restaurants you can enjoy the best Davos water in Grischa bottles, which are produced in Europe. We donate half the proceeds from these sales to good causes. Fresh mountain water is of course available in the rooms for free.

From nature’s
source

We make tasty stock from vegetable scraps or even bones. The remaining organic waste is processed into biogas and used as an energy resource. Bread waste is passed on to our farmers.

Food save

...in our daily operations

Protecting the environment. Our team and our guests are helping to ensure a better tomorrow, together.

For our shampoos, hand soaps and body lotions with our own Grischa scent, we use large, refillable bottles to help reduce the waste from small plastic containers.

Good
for body
and nature

For the sake of the environment, we only change towels and bed linen and clean rooms at your request. Do you need housekeeping for two nights? If not, we can conserve such valuable resources as water, energy and cleaning products.

Working
together
for the
environment

In all rooms you will find a green bag for recyclable materials. We then properly separate this waste. The bags were made in association with Responsible Hotels of Switzerland.

Recycling
is fun

...to our guest and staff

At Hotel Grischa, people and their needs are at the heart of everything we do. We maintain a friendly atmosphere in which everyone is treated with consideration and respect.

The well-being of our employees is particularly important to us. We are committed to fair working conditions and remuneration, and have created around 140 jobs in the region.

Focus
on employees

As an employer company, we work closely with the La Capriola Foundation, providing professional industry training to persons with special needs. Every winter, we also host a ski camp in association with Plusport Behindertensport Schweiz for people with disabilities.

Inclusion

...in the diverse region

A venue for culture and social engagement. Providing space for discussion, new ideas and projects.

We make our premises available to associations for a small fee of CHF 50.00. It is important to us to support the important volunteer work in Davos Klosters and to provide a space for social meetings and discussion.

Labels and awards

Sustainable travel doesn’t necessarily mean having to go without. Sustainable travel means greater awareness and depth and more enjoyment. We have been involved with Switzerland Tourism’s sustainability programme since 2021.

Programme of the Energy Agency for the Swiss Private Sector (EnaW)
By participating in this programme, which is recognised by the Swiss Confederation and the cantons, we are committed to actively reducing CO₂ emissions and optimising our energy efficiency. The average CO₂ consumption of all participating businesses is around 20 kg per night. In 2022, we consumed just 5.6 kg per night and were thus significantly below the average.
