„Practised sustainability means treasuring nature and making conscious choices,” says Alexander Gostner, president of the Golf & Country Club. Therefore, the lawn is maintained with organic fertiliser and treated with a natural mixture to ensure a healthy acid-base balance. It takes more work, but it’s well worth it. Guests notice the difference: no skin irritations, clear air. For maintenance and the club’s vehicles, they rely on e-mobility: lawn mowers, vehicles, and charging stations – silent, efficient, and low-emission.

The club grounds were established on flat terrain with a high groundwater level – a challenge that became an opportunity. Numerous water areas now form the heart of the golf course. They act as natural reservoirs, help regulate the microclimate, and provide habitats for fish, dragonflies, and rare bird species. Ornithologists report that species once believed extinct in South Tyrol have returned. A cycle that shows: if nature is given space, it will find its way back.
