Taking responsibility, shaping the future.

Our Responsibility

We live in a region that is characterized by nature, community and a genuine quality of life - and that is exactly what we want to preserve. For us, tourism means creating with responsibility: for the people who live here and the guests who experience our region.

A region worth living in for locals and guests - that is our goal.

For us, tourism is not just about creating economic value, but also about a conscious interplay between nature, culture, agriculture and social life.

As part of our Next Level strategic initiative and the Roadmap 2035 strategy for responsible tourism development, we are actively shaping the future of the region. Together with our partners, we are developing guidelines and measures that bring together ecological, social and economic responsibility and support the development of Schladming-Dachstein as a high-quality year-round destination.

This approach is reflected in many areas – from mobility initiatives and regional cuisine to photovoltaic systems, heat recovery and renewable heating systems, as well as other concrete measures implemented by businesses and partners across the region.

Our region brings together regional cuisine, certified accommodation and concrete projects and measures. The Schladming-Dachstein pleasure partners and projects such as Almkulinarik by Richard Rauch make regional cuisine accessible and highlight cooperation with local producers, restaurants and mountain huts.Certified businesses – including 17 businesses with the Austrian Ecolabel and 15 certified organic accommodation providers – meet defined criteria and are regularly inspected. More than 100 Urlaub am Bauernhof farms offer stays on working farms, with a focus on local agriculture and farming traditions.Together with service providers, partner communities and companies, we also implement concrete measures in the field of employment, including employer branding, the Benefit Card and Senior Talents.This is how Schladming-Dachstein brings together regional cuisine, accommodation options and joint projects and measures as part of its approach to responsible tourism development.

Responsibly produced

Printed with care - gentle on nature

As a tourism region, we want to take responsibility not only for the content, but also for the production of our advertising materials.

That's why we work with our partner print shops to find solutions that protect the environment and conserve resources.

Our basic principles

We use resource-conscious materials, work with regional printing partners and, where possible, choose certified printing companies. Print runs are adjusted to the expected demand to help avoid unnecessary overproduction.

Our partner print shops

Wallig printing company (Gröbming) - The first print shop in Styria (since 2010) with the Austrian Ecolabel and our reliable partner for over 10 years.
Druckhaus Rettenbacher (Schladming) - Our regional printing partner, using resource-efficient technologies in its print production.
Samson Druck (Salzburger Land) - A printing company with a focus on resource-efficient production, including solutions based on the Cradle to Cradle principle.

Our upcycling project

Bag with a history

Old advertising banners were turned into trendy bags. Because: waste is not an option for us.

We upcycled all the material from our outdoor advertising campaign instead of disposing of it. In total, around 580 m² of material that would normally have been disposed of was reused.

Separating waste as it should be

Small contribution, big impact

In the Schladming-Dachstein region, we attach great importance to protecting our beautiful nature.

One simple but important measure is correct waste separation – and everyone can contribute.

A standardised and easy-to-understand information sheet helps hosts and guests in the region correctly separate residual waste, plastic, glass, paper and organic waste.

This makes the different waste streams easier to identify and supports proper waste disposal and recycling in the region.
