An ecologically sustainable Hotel for an ever-greener form of tourism

At the hotel Caminetto, we want to offer our guests a different kind of holiday, in the midst of the Trentino wilderness, with that authentic and slow rhythm that helps us to look, observe, listen, think and relax in a pure and enchanting atmosphere.

Only when nature becomes a central feature of a mountain holiday can the well-being experience become complete: the time spent in the spa with special treatments will be just one of the aspects of the well-being experience in Trentino! The truly regenerating experience at Hotel Caminetto is full of excursions, walks, relaxation and open-air activities. With the Trentino Guest Card and the Parco Key, you can dive into the beauty of the Adamello Brenta Nature Park and travel free of charge on public transport, to become true ambassadors of ecologically sustainable tourism.

Adamello Brenta Nature Park, Ecolabel, Park Quality, Ecoristorazione Trentino certified Hotel; these are our guarantees for a holiday that respects well-being, nature and ecological awareness.

Our Hotel is part of an ever-larger group of Ecolabel-certified establishments, a form of international recognition created with the aim of lending visibility to tourism organisations that, on their own initiative, decide to manage their businesses in a more sustainable manner.
We have chosen to reduce energy wastage, properly separate refuse, use ecologically friendly detergents as much as possible, and follow a policy of “landscape integration” in order to protect not only nature but also the characteristics of the mountain landscape.
Hotel Ecolabel means that we can guarantee a high level of environmental quality as well as high-quality holidays for anyone choosing the Val di Sole and Trentino as their destination.

The UNI ISO 21401 standard - Tourism and related services - Management system for sustainability in accommodation facilities - is the international reference standard for the enhancement of good sustainability practices in the tourism sector.
The tourism sector is proving to be increasingly sensitive and mature to undertake paths to improve its impact on the environment, society and territorial economies.

Hotel Caminetto with constancy and religious commitment is actively contributing to the promotion and dissemination of these practices.

We have proudly achieved ISO 21401 certification, which concretises our Mission:

Hotel Caminetto has decided to make a formal and public commitment to contribute to sustainable development, in particular to the achievement of the SDG Sustainability Goals according to the UN 2030 Agenda.

Sustainability (environmental, social and economic) is managed through two fundamental instruments: this Sustainability Policy (commitment) and the Sustainability Programme (action plan) drawn up according to the ISO 21401 standard in order to integrate sustainability into our strategic business plan, identifying possible actions and quantitative objectives that are updated annually and made available to the relevant stakeholders. These tools are intended to respond appropriately to the needs of our stakeholders.

We love our territory, we love the Val di Sole and the nature of Trentino, which always gives us new emotions. This is why, over the years, we have initiated and consolidated a number of ‘good practices’ to support the conservation and protection of biodiversity, safeguarding natural resources and at the same time promoting high quality eco-sustainable tourism that can enrich our guests' awareness.
Our commitment has been repaid over time also through the attainment of the Qualità Parco certificate of the Adamello Brenta Natural Park, CETS phase II of Federparchi - Europarc Italia, Ecolabel certification and Ecoristorazione Trentino certification of the Autonomous Province of Trento.

With this ISO 21401 Sustainability Policy we aim to protect all stakeholders (Stakeholders) based on the three essential pillars of sustainability (environment, social and governance), identifying the following lines of action:

Respect for nature and the territory (Environment)
Personal and professional integrity (Economic)
Culture and territory (Social)
Transparency and compliance (Governance)

Hotel Caminetto has also earned another important form of recognition; the “Park Quality” brand promoted by the Adamello Brenta Nature Park. This project has been created with the aim of lending visibility to establishments that offer their guests an ecologically sustainable holiday.

How did we earn this important form of certification?
Sustainable developments, respect for the environment, valorisation of the area. We have applied strict rules to protect our territory and valorise our Alpine identity, offering our guests true ecologically friendly holidays. Our aim is to give you an active role in our mission and explain to you the importance of a natural area that is unique and prestigious; the Adamello Brenta Nature Park. This area includes forests characterised by an incredible level of biodiversity, rivers, lakes and the majestic Brenta Dolomites, a UNESCO heritage site... our “Park Quality” Hotel will help you to explore the park in the best possible manner.

At the Hotel Caminetto, as you know, you will find people who love their land and want you to discover all of its aspects, from nature to culture, from ancient traditions to its typical produce. This is another reason why, among the services included in a holiday with us, you will also find the Parco Key, which will allow you to easily move within the Adamello Brenta Nature Park and use some of the services available free of charge.. These include...

• Guided excursions: walks and strolls with the park guides to explore nature, history, past events, and the ancient trades linked to the land and the forests.
• Free parking in the Park area, not only in Val di Sole but also in Val di Tovel, Val Rendena and Val di Fumo. Parking may be subject to reservations; ask for more information at our Hotel reception!
• Access to the Case del Parco: 7 special guided trails, each with a different theme: Once upon a time, Acqua Life, Geopark, Flora, Fauna, The bear, Rosso Lake. Here, adults and children can explore, interact, learn and be amazed.

The Hotel Caminetto has been awarded the “Ecoristorazione Trentino” brand, a project organised by the Autonomous Province of Trento with the aim of awarding businesses that are committed to revolutionise the restaurant world. In addition to the quality of the produce and the skill of our chef, our kitchen is also characterised by a tangible commitment to reducing atmospheric and water pollution as well as the quality of waste produced by the restaurant service and supply chain, and to the optimisation of water and energy consumption.

The Ecoristorazione Trentino brand requires the respecting of 7 fundamental requirements:

• Menu with Trentino produce and the use of local produce to reduce emissions from transportation to a minimum.
• Certified organic ingredients
• Elimination of single-portion and disposable products to reduce the quantity of waste
• Systems for low-energy lighting
• Ecological product lines for cleaning
• Environmental education and information to promote good environmental practices

The kitchen at the Hotel Caminetto has always focused on traditional local cuisine. We use a large quantity of ingredients from the Trentino supply chain, sourcing from farmers and producers in the Val di Sole area, right on our doorstep. What’s more, our Wine Bar offers 200 different wines, many of which are from the most famous local wine producers in Trentino.

Whenever possible, we purchase certified organic food and drinks. Our aim is to support a form of economy that is sustainable and that respects the environment and animals. Not only good for the environment but also tasty for those enjoying our dishes, these ingredients are healthy, and conserve all their organoleptic and nutritional values.

In our Ecoristorazione Trentino-brand kitchen, we have put a stop to waste and the uncontrolled creation of refuse. We have decided to eliminate all disposable and single-use products; they need to become a thing of the past! All our chef’s team are aware of the importance of not uselessly wasting water and energy. We have installed a low-energy lighting system and use ecological products for cleaning.

At the Hotel Caminetto, we know that awareness and good practices can be shared with the guests who, as nature lovers, are always very interested and ready to share our good practices... perhaps even taking them home!
