We are ECO, and caring for the environment is an important part of our daily life. We are aware that every aspect of our business affects the environment. Today, there is a growing social awareness and sense of responsibility for what surrounds us and for the future of our planet - including in business.
Arłamów od początku swojej działalności stawia na proekologiczne działania i rozwiązania. Mając szczególnie na uwadze nasze położenie jako "hotel blisko natury" – w środku tak bogato przyrodniczo terenu – traktujemy środowisko z szacunkiem i dbałością. Dlatego dokładamy starań, aby chronić otaczającą nas przyrodę, a także wspierać ją poprzez szeroko zakrojone działania proekologiczne.
Nasze wysiłki doceniła Krajowa Rada Ekologiczna, przyznając Hotelowi Arłamów**** w górach tytuł „Eko Janosika 2018” w kategorii Przedsiębiorstwo.
The EKO Arłamow program is constantly evolving. We are constantly working on new, innovative pro-ecological solutions and taking further steps to protect the environment. Currently, there is a growing social awareness and sense of responsibility for what surrounds us and for the future of our planet - including in business. We know that every step, even the smallest one, matters, which is why we have created a complete environmental policy and are constantly implementing every element of it in the daily life of the hotel.
Arlamow clean air indicator
The nature-friendly heart of Arlamow is a modern combined heat and power plant operating in a tri-generation system and using wood biomass as fuel. It is the most modern of its kind in Poland and one of the most innovative in Europe. Thanks to the CHP plant, the Arłamow Complex is self-sufficient in the production of energy, heat and chilled water for air conditioning systems.
The hotel draws water from the cleanest deposits from 11 intakes (from 67 to 100 meters deep). The water is treated in special systems that guarantee purity and quality, and then supplied to the various facilities. Taking care to maintain the highest possible quality of our water, we regularly test it (in an accredited laboratory and by sanitary and epidemiological services).
We live surrounded by nature, supporting it and enjoying the gifts it offers. We run our own apiary, harvesting excellent honey that complements our hotel menu. In addition to the apiary, we cultivate our own herbs—free from fertilizers and pesticides—for use in our restaurants. Our guests also appreciate the tea blends created from herbs grown in the hotel’s own herb garden.
In Arlamow we plant about 300 trees every year. Most often during the so-called eco-packages, during which we conduct a series of classes and workshops on environmental issues. Stay in Arlamow's consciousness for longer and plant your tree with us. We will take care of it, and you will be able to visit it.
On the grounds of the Arłamow Hotel there is a picturesque nature and educational path. This walking route will lead our guests through a delightful forest area, over which the Arłamow Hotel, in cooperation with the Bircza Forestry Commission, has custody. Here you can meet representatives of flora and fauna that are under strict species protection. This is the perfect place to marvel at the beauty of nature, listen to the rustle of the wind among the trees and soak up the clean mountain air.
At the Arłamow Hotel we care not only about the environment around us, but also about the ecological awareness of our guests. We regularly conduct presentations and workshops on Zero Waste - that is, how to cook to use absolutely every part of the ingredients used.
The herbs we use in our kitchen come from our own cultivation. As a result, dishes served at the Arłamow Hotel retain a fresh, natural aroma. In addition, we reduce the need to transport purchased ingredients.
Picturesque mountain areas surrounded by forests, crystal clear air and beautiful flowery meadows - the outdoor area of the Arłamow Hotel is a place directly created for bees. No wonder, then, that the region is famous, among other things, for its wonderful honey.
As part of the “Thank a bee” campaign, the ŁYSOŃ company has opened an apiary with 4 hives at our hotel. There is also a bee educational path on the grounds of the Arłamow Hotel. This is an exceptional and unique project dedicated to the bee. The path is a great form of fun for the whole family, while playing an educational role, allowing you to learn more about the world of these friendly insects. Each participant has the opportunity to take part in a game called “Bee Detective.” The path route consists of six points with special boards, located in the area surrounding the Arłamow Hotel. Why of six? It's simple, because a bee has six legs. On each board there is a short description dedicated to bees, as well as a task for the bee detective to solve. To take part in the game, you need to register in advance at the hotel reception, where you will receive a map of the area with the educational route marked and the key to solving the puzzles described on each board. After walking the entire route and solving individual tasks, the “Bee Detective” will be able to discover the secret password, which will open the way to receive a surprise. The surprise will be waiting for him at the reception of the Arłamow Hotel. Remember, one path, but many combinations.
Come, check it out and see what great fun and learning it is!
