• Minergie standard
  The rocksresort buildings are built to the Minergie standard and equipped with a controlled air circulation system.
• LED lighting
  Today, 99% of the old lighting has already been converted to LED. In 2018, for example, all the lighting in the rocksresort underground car park was converted to efficient and semi-autonomous LED lights, saving around 90% energy. This corresponds to the energy requirements of around 75 households of a family of 4.
• Continuous system optimization
  Since the construction of the first buildings, the technical installations have been continuously made more efficient and optimized. Among other things, a low-temperature network was retrofitted, which recovers waste heat, e.g. from the engine room of the nacelle in Laax and its ventilation systems.

We reduce CO2 emissions by using low-carbon energy sources and regional, climate-friendly building materials.

• Local, durable building materials such as stone and wood
  Minimum distance, maximum quality: the façade of the rocksresort buildings was built from regional Valser stone. The indoor materials consist mainly of solid oak wood and Valser stone. Great importance was attached to durability and timelessness in the interior design.
• Demand-oriented heat generation
  The rocksresort hotel is mainly heated with wood pellets. In the off-season and summer, the hotel is sometimes also heated with the oil heating system. This can be switched on and off more quickly and also serves as a back-up in the event of complications with the pellet heating system. A more efficient and 100% fossil oil-free heat supply will be implemented in the near future. System highlight: the rocksresort has a low-temperature network with feedback from ventilation systems and other heat sources (see "Maximum energy efficiency, system optimization").

The sun provides much more energy than mankind consumes. Solar power is therefore also considered the key technology of the energy transition - also in Laax.

• Photovoltaic systems
  New houses will be equipped with photovoltaic systems in accordance with the law. Older rocksresort houses are to be retrofitted with PV systems in 2024.

Climate-friendly electricity

Since 2010, the entire power supply has been covered by 100% renewable energy.

Renewable energy does not always flow when it is needed. It must therefore be possible to store electricity. For example, for the night or as a winter power reserve. There are already numerous innovative ways to store energy efficiently and more are being added all the time.

• Storage lakes
  Storage lakes are one way of storing energy. Our current project is the multifunctional storage lake in Nagens, which is still under development.

These are our environmentally friendly means of transportation:

• E-Shuttles
  Electric vehicles from Polestar for our delivery service and guest transportation (LAAX E-Shuttle: the climate-friendly taxibookable via the INSIDE LAAX app).
• E-bikes
  Stylish e-bikes from TREK for our guests.
• Sponti-Car
  Our Car-Sharing model. This provides a climate-friendly car-sharing service. Bookable via the "Sponti-Car" app.
• E-parking options
  30 e-charging stations are available to our guests in the parking garages.
• SBB luggage service
  SBB transports your luggage from your front door to us at rocksresort(SBB luggage special) for convenient and attractive use of public transport.

Water is replaced by a dry substance that has a cleaning effect. In addition, approx. 350 g of CO2 are saved per cubic meter of water.

The resort's waste water is purified in the treatment plant in Sagogn before being returned to nature.

Free drinking water is available to guests in numerous restaurants and cafés, allowing them to enjoy fresh, regional mountain water and do without PET bottles.

In winter, environmentally friendly salt and de-icing agents are used to make slippery areas safe.

• Recycling concept
  By using a comprehensive recycling concept (separation of PET, paper, glass, plastic, etc.), we enable conscious waste recycling for everyone. The concept is implemented at all levels, including our guests. We provide recycling bags in each apartment, in which our guests should collect their waste separately and dispose of it accordingly in our container room at the end of their stay.

Where possible, we always try to avoid disposable tableware. For take-away options, we work closely with our partners reCIRCLE and Cup-Systems together.

Clean Up Day takes place on the mountain every year. A campaign for everyone who wants to do something good for nature.

Find out more about the Greenstyle campaign here.

We can fill your fridge in your rocksresort apartment on request. There are 3 sizes to choose from with different products. But they all have one thing in common - the fillings consist exclusively of local and seasonal products.

Strict purchasing guidelines must be adhered to when using products such as meat/fish, coffee, tea, etc. We adhere strictly to those of "ibexfairstay" and go one step further with some products:

• coffee
  Organic & Fairtrade coffee Blend - Goroastrei RAST
• Tea
  Home-grown tea (see below "rocksresort tea" and organic tea)Sirocco teaselection
• Meat
  100% Swiss meat, local whenever possible, organic label for sausage products
• Fish
  100% MSC fish, local fish/fish farms whenever possible
• Baked goods
  LAAXer Bakery as main supplier for bread products
• General
  Preferential purchasing from local food producers and consideration of local businesses
  Preferential use of seasonal and local productscts

On the roof of rocksresort building I, native herbs are sown in the spring together with non-invasive medicinal plants in collaboration with Flims botanist Lenn Verjans and cultivated over the summer. The herbs are harvested before the winter season. The result is a soothing recreational and refreshing drink made from local herbs, which will be available at the rocksresort and other cafés.

Between houses I, J and K there are raised beds with various herbs for our guests. The apartments with their equipment invite many of our guests to cook for themselves during their vacation. If you would like to refine your dishes with fresh herbs, you are welcome to help yourself free of charge in our herb garden.

Using special cameras and the recording software www.kitro.ch, food waste is analyzed in the restaurants. This helps the chefs to optimize portions and product types and thus minimize food waste.

Environmentally friendly cleaning agents are used for all cleanings, which means that artificially produced chemicals and substances are avoided as far as possible.

Quality service also includes quality clothing, and in the most environmentally friendly form possible. Our workwear is certified. 100% first layer clothing is Bluesign certified. Cotton is 100% organic where available.

By adhering to various guidelines in accordance with the Nature & Environment Foundation, we enable a hotel area that is close to nature.

With the wild bee paradise (natural meadow/wildflower meadow incl. bee hotel), we are creating an ecosystem for regional bees and supporting biodiversity.

The planted roofs not only bring color to the resort area, but also create space for various living creatures and reduce CO2 emissions.

Well protected from wild animals, not only do leaves and flowers for our new rockstea grow and flourish during the summer thanks to ideal conditions, but a habitat for insects and pollinators has also been created.

The plants and flowers are regularly harvested during the summer, then dried and skilfully and lovingly processed by hand into a fine and unique tea blend of 21 herbs.
