Natural Connection: The OLM Nature Escape Eco-Aparthotel Project

OLM Nature Escape is a 4-star superior Eco Aparthotel located in South Tyrol, Italy, which opened its doors on December 1st, 2023. With a unique vision rooted in the cycle of nature, OLM distinguishes itself through its dedication to environmental consciousness, ecology, and sustainability. The 33 Luxury Eco ApartSuites boast an elegant Alpine style, entirely clad in larch wood and furnished with natural materials.

OLM is the first completely autonomous tourist resort in the Alps. Employing an innovative approach, the resort is equipped with an autonomous energy system, comprising photovoltaics, geothermal and hydroelectric power, as well as an artesian well to ensure a CO2-neutral implementation. With 126 geothermal probes at a depth of 120 meters and over 2.000 square meters of photovoltaic panels, OLM ensures an annual energy surplus.

The project is centered on the enhancement of the local environment and the utilization of natural materials such as stone, larch, and spruce. OLM Nature Escape applies ecological practices across all facets of its operations, from waste management to energy conservation.
