The Berglodge

The alpine seminar platform for people with vision.

The BergAcademy

The BergAcademy organizes seminars around the topic “Vitality for people, environment and companies”.

The Concept

We offer the ideal place for curious people who want to network with each other.

The concept

The Berglodge offers a sustainable experience in harmony with nature. Lots of comfort combined with a modern self-service concept, expresses the essence of a cosy simplicity. We are a vegetarian ‘adult-only’ hotel with a minimum stay of two nights and accessible only by cable car.

Carried by the vision: ‘Promoting the vitality of people, nature and businesses’, a place of deceleration and encounter is being created here. According to the motto: ‘experience – enliven – exemplify’, Berglodge37 sees itself as a creative platform for the creation and sustainable development of a natural life.

Our philosophy

Berglodge37 is the ideal place for curious people who want to network with each other. We support this with the help of a wide range of seminars, as well as numerous other opportunities for exchange between guests. In this way, we want to contribute to a vital and inspired life.

Our aim is to support people in their efforts to achieve the highest possible vitality and a fulfilled life. We do this through our courses and various other vitalising activities. The beautiful and diverse mountain landscape of the Eggberge is ideal for this.

Curious and cosmopolitan people meet at Berglodge37. Inspiring workshops and fireside chats are designed to promote interdisciplinary exchange between forward thinkers and curious minds. With tolerance towards people and humility towards nature and the environment, we are an authentic mountain oasis.

Sustainability

Berglodge37 is putting sustainability first. That´s why we have a two-night minimum stay policy.

The property is managed according to the latest standards of sustainable, responsible entrepreneurship and aspires to take a pioneering role in terms of sustainable-social corporate responsibility. Berglodge37 was built exclusively with Swiss wood – including “moon wood” from the Eggberge mountains – and is powered by a geothermal probe heating system.

We maintain regional partnerships from construction to operation. We also give great importance to short transport routes and close cooperation with selected local businesses. In doing so, we also create new jobs in the region.

With our food concept, as well as the consistent avoidance of food waste and the elimination of plastic wherever possible, we also contribute to sustainability and the reduction of our Co2 footprint.

In order to improve and measure our sustainability efforts, we are currently working towards a certification with the IbexFairstay label.
