All details on the renovationEcological Mindset
at the family hotel Gorfion
Admittedly, we are not perfect yet. Of course, there is always more we can do. But we assure you that in everything we do, we always think about the future of our children. We also motivate our employees to behave in an environmentally conscious way and to actively participate in improving our ecological performance.
For new purchases, we evaluate environmentally friendly alternatives, we invest in sustainable energy, for new buildings and renovations we look for environmentally friendly and natural materials and last but not least, we buy regionally and unpackaged whenever possible.

One for climate
Uniting the hospitality industry for climate protection
everyone for climate is a non-profit sustainability foundation working with the global hospitality industry for climate protection. The industry is mobilized through coordinated fundraising activities to generate impact finances for climate protection. The initiative is called one for climate.
Together with international hotels charitable donations are generated for international organizations working in climate protection. As well as guest and hotelier eco-awareness is increased.
Renunciation of fossil fuels
We purchase exclusively LiStrom alpin from the Liechtensteiner Kraftwerke. This consists entirely of regional alpine hydropower production.
We obtain our heating energy from the environmentally friendly wood chip heating plant directly in Malbun.

Gorfion bath bag
Parents can tell you a thing or two about packing for a swimming trip. Where do you put all the bath towels, water wings, snacks, water bottles, etc. and how do I get them into the pool? With our stylish Gorfion bathing bag, this question no longer arises. It's big, sturdy and beautiful to look at too.
- Durable and versatile
- Production with mainly recycled material
- Regional Swiss supplier
Towel change on request
Washing consumes water, energy and detergent. A careful use of resources is a matter of course for us. That is why we do not change towels in our guest rooms every day. However, if you would like to have one or more towels changed, simply place them on the floor.
- Less water and energy consumption
- Less contamination by detergents
- Longer durability of the terry cloths
The digital guest folder
On the guest tablet in their room, our guests will find all the information they need about the hotel, but also about Malbun and Liechtenstein. The advantages are obvious:
- Up-to-date information, ready to hand at any time
- We save paper and printing costs
- We save on staff resources, which we are happy to use elsewhere for the benefit of our guests.
- Easy communication with the reception
Plastic avoidance
Whenever possible, we avoid plastic.
- Vanity set made from 100% recycled paper
- Bamboo drinking straws
- Drinking water station at the buffet and water carafes in the room
- Whenever possible. we avoid plastic bottles
- Avoiding disposable plastic tableware
