Hand in hand with nature
We’ve been committed to protecting the climate and environment for many years - so you can enjoy an environmentally friendly holiday at the Kinderhotel Seitenalm!
Because you’re important
... we assume (social) responsibility!
Our business is here to provide services. We enable our guests to enjoy a relaxing holiday in a positive environment. We offer honest, high quality without any unnecessary luxury. In these fast-moving times, it is particularly important for parents and their children to spend time together. Going on holiday together can strengthen the family bond.
... we set an (environmental) example!
Spend your holiday in an environmentally friendly manner! When you stay in a hotel that has been awarded the Ecolabel, you’ll be doing something good for yourself and the environment without having to go without anything. Hotels that bear the Ecolabel have set themselves the goal of focusing on the environment. Offering seasonal food from regional providers is just as important as handling water and energy in a responsible manner.
Because you’re important
to us ...
... we are committed to the common good!
The Economy for the Common Good is an economic model that aims to ensure a good life for everyone on a healthy planet. Under this model, value-oriented companies focus on the common good and are actively committed to it. In 2019, we drew up our first common good balance sheet, as social responsibility, sustainability, democratic co-determination and corporate solidarity are important to us. We were recertified in 2024. You can see our common good balance sheet here. This balance sheet makes our commitment to sustainability measurable.
Setting a sign for the future
Green Hotel
We have been awarded the Austrian Ecolabel, which recognises the highest quality standards and environmentally friendly and sustainable business practices.
Our hotel carries the environment symbol because we want to live in unison with nature and are therefore mindful of natural resources.
Economy for the common good on the Seitenalm
The Economy for the Common Good is an economic model that aims to place the common good and social justice at the center of economic activities. Companies that act according to the principles of the Economy for the Common Good are guided by values such as social solidarity, ecological sustainability, social justice and democratic co-determination. The aim is to create an economy that is not only geared towards maximizing profits, but also takes into account the well-being of society and the environment. The Economy for the Common Good calls for a fundamental reorientation of the economic system towards a sustainable and ethical way of doing business. It addresses five groups of stakeholders: suppliers, financial resources, employees, customers and the social environment.

- Renovation of swimming pool and rooms
- Leading an economically stable company into the future
- Meeting the changes in tourism as a vacation destination with a unique selling point
Long-term goals
- To become an employer that is chosen by employees for its sustainable orientation, its transparency towards employees and customers, and its core values of human dignity and respect for the ecological limits of nature.
- Conducting business for the benefit of the common good and the health of the planet.
- Building a "Pony School": We want to enable children in the region to take responsibility for a pony through a four-step plan. In the first step, they will learn how to groom and lead the animals. The second step involves lunging the pony. In the third step, the children can ride the pony, meaning they will have a "riding share" in the pony. Finally, in the fourth step, they will take full responsibility for the animal themselves.
- Maintaining the current business size and investing in quality.
